Dust If You Must

After reading the original poem, beautifully written by Rose Milligan, my drunk-self penned the following version:

Dust if you must
Just don't create a fuss
Do what you must
Be clean, don't cuss

Dust if you must
Have patience, have respect 
Be as you are
No one is perfect

Dust if you must
What are you worried about
Let it be...let it go
Life will balance itself out

Dust if you must
Cobwebs everywhere, all around
Can you see through, think straight 
Are you flying high, or feet firmly ground

Dust if you must
Try all you can
Life fucks us all
Girl, boy, woman or man

Dust if you must
Eventually, all goes bust
Does it matter in the end
You, yourself, will make more dust!

I Promise, My Love...

Although, rough seas rock our boat now

Soon, I promise, my love…we shall be together

And see the sunrise

Although, heavy rains soak us to the bone now

Soon, I promise, my love…we shall be together

And enjoy clear blue skies

Although, huge waves hit us hard all around now

Soon, I promise, my love…we shall be together

And hold each other airtight

Although, life has separated us temporarily now

Soon, I promise, my love…we shall be together

And forever reunite

O' Best Friend of Mine...

Good morning, sunshine

O' best friend of mine...

May this day bring you busy-ness

May you embrace the serious, and the naughtiness

May you get the strength to feel better in the present

May your dreams come true, as you dreamt

May you not have a tear in your eye

May you achieve success, and experience unprecedented high

May you never have to look behind

May you have peace of mind

May you ride over all fear

May you find happiness, my dear

Good morning, sunshine

O' best friend of mine... 

My friend...my sweetheart

My friend, you are an independent woman…

you are a wonderful human

My friend, you first see the best in others always…

you believe selflessness pays

My friend, you make this world a better place…

you make frowns disappear without a trace

My friend, you have flair but not swagger…

you are original and not an actor

My friend, you are the real thing…

you are a blessing

My friend, you are a civilised wild cat…

you can fight tit-for-tat

My friend, you are strong to the core…

you are friends with me - the bore

My friend, you are true at heart…

you are my sweetheart!

It is not always possible...however

It is not always possible...

to find the right person

It is not always possible...

to find the right moment

It is not always possible...

to find enough courage

It is not always possible...

to find the right words

It is not always possible...

to do the right thing

It is not always possible...

to be aware of "here & now"

It is not always possible...

to just let it be

It is possible, however...

to know all of above

It is possible, however...

to know "it is okay"...

It is possible, however...

to believe & have faith

It is possible, however...

to change the equation

Happy New Year!

It is that time of the year again, when...

We bid adieu to yet another year gone by

And welcome the one starting next

It is that time of the year again, when...

We reflect on missed goals, broken resolutions

And still make new list of resolutions

It is that time of the year again, when...

We don't cry for what's gone

And cheer for what's to come

It is that time of the year again, when...

We want to forget what happened yesterday

And look at tomorrow with all its promise

It is that time of the year again, when...

We are happy with change

And not just seek status-quo

It is that time of the year again, when...

We start looking at same as different

And feel that new is better

It is that time of the year again, when...

We look forward to life to come

And not sit holding on to our past

It is that time of the year again, when...

We drown all our troubles

And soar high with new found hope

It is that time of the year again, when...
We all party, be merry, shout
And wish everyone a Happy New Year!
