'I Laugh...I Cry'

You Wept
as they stood there watching
You shared their pain
even though
you were going to raise him up again
Wonder how you would have wept
Was it a steady stream
or was it a trickle
Did you wipe your tears as you cried
or did you just let them be

Don't know how
But am sure you feel the same pain
It doesn't matter if mine roll
or if they trickle
You wept
and you do it with me again

Wish I'd seen you laugh
or just your radiant smile
Did your laughter have the roar
or was it 'turn-the-face-red' kinds
I bet you cracked jokes
and made those disciples laugh
Did your eyes close? Did you chuckle?
Or was it both of them combined?

Don't know how
But am sure you feel the same joy
Doesnt matter if I chuckle
or if my eyes close
You share my joy
and so I laugh....because I know!

'The Coffee Shop'

I went by to the coffee shop today
Don't drink coffee but still chose to stay
Sat down at my favourite place by the green window pane
The sun rays danced as they fell on my hands
The glass between us,like a jealous lover awaiting his chance
The flower on the table,fresh and beautiful
Made me wonder for a minute,Did God ever get confused?

I sat there lost in myself wondering about the empty chair
I could do with some company,Strike up a conversation maybe
Hmmm.. but what would we talk about?
Life and its monotony??
Naa...Too depressing...usual routine
Travel? relationships?society?
Bet once we start, we'll have a variety
Its amazing how we would switch
one to the other
Leaving some and stretching others furthur
Gasps,sighs,laughter,tears
Emotions showing up like enthusiastic volunteers
Maybe for a while we'll let silence set in
Contemplate,retrospect,do some soul searchin
Enjoy the silence, enjoy not having to speak
Just listen to the jukebox play Jimmy Hendrix
Well we could go on,you and I
Conversations are never hard if we try

But I better be off, the sun has almost set
I surely need to work on time management
Yet am glad I stopped by the coffee shop today
Didn't drink coffee but chose to stay

'Case Adjourned'

You sit on the bench
Staring into space
wondering if it will
ever fall into place
The world shrinking
with every breath
People fading
and brightening again

What will it take
What more
For you to want me
What's the new price
Guess blood did not suffice

You wonder and You sound alarmed
Feel empty but put up a fight
Too much love
that could'nt be
You'd rather stare into space
and live in make belief

What will it take
what more
For you to Know
I love you
Real...not make belief

You stare into the coffee cup
It's a whirlwind in there too
You look at the sky
not the sun
you're awaiting a deluge
It'll help you hide away
But you cant escape the truth

What will it take
What more
For you to return
Rest your case now
Don't...
Don't let it be adjourned.
