Rivers of Tears
shed a million rivers of tears ‘cos i’m missing you dear
there are times when holding on doesn’t anymore count on
so i took refuge and snug on at the comfort of what i could embrace right now
because for now, it’s all that i have and nothing else
nothing else can make me stop and shed a million rivers of tears.
what would you do if i say it’s killin’ me to be out here somewhere
where i lay my head at night silently sobbing for it’s in your arms i wanna be
what would you say to my grieving heart
what would you do to make me stop
shed a million rivers of tears?
all i can do is hold on here to something i don’t know what
all i can do is hang on to the thinnest piece of thread that’s connecting us
all…

Rebirth ….by Artie & Stu
Hazy memories, hazy path ahead
map marked with isolines delineating
the drop to rock bottom
blurry hachures I don’t recall
stumbling over, was that me?
Aimless, desultory, miscellaneous, random, pointless
leading to me here and now
doing the next good thing
arising is day by day
eventual realization in an instant.
Timelessly ....by Aishwarya Kannan
Puppet on a string …. by Lady Lee
Like a puppet on a string
I do what I was told to do
Gracefully asprawl on cue
I dance, fight or even sing
Can’t leave for I have no wing
Feeling I just have to go through
Like a puppet on a string
I do what I was told to do
One day I promise to fling
Free from all this I flew
Just be me hope that’s true
See what the future can bring
Like a puppet on a string*
