Fixtures & Forces

I try to walk into my mind with a brush in my left hand..
..Sketching emotions of colors and dreams picking up my thoughts from the deep sand
Hearing the turning sound of the key..
..I open random thoughts which were concealed in me

At times I think I'm afraid that new feelings might all be in vain
..But then I realize why not just fly without being afraid
I've seen many women in these years who sadly talk in disguise
..The irony is that I see the deceit in the eyes

New things and search for reality often makes me want a change
..My heart says one thing but my mind just feels strange
It feels so sad to see many run aimlessly behind money and fame
..Cause it concludes with them not experiencing life's strange game

These days I live by the facts of life I write which I call rules
..And it brings eternal peace without being strayed away by fools
You might be an addict of jealously and envy dancing on the stage
...And again it seems amusing cause for me its just another one in a cage

Oh I wonder in this deep dark mist of desire I often get lost as a stranger
..But then I am never afraid because I believe that there's never any real danger
Why should I ever run away from my heart and lose myself in the shores of the beach
..For I must realize that truth is never away and close within reach

I've always seen her with grace holding an arrow and a bow
..At times I regret that the present never stays and always has to go
I always walk in a dream balancing on the line
..But I never care cause someday I know maybe I'll make it mine

And I sense that the finishing end of new life or feelings are far from the end
..'Cause there exists nobody for the exception of fear which will never mend
I could forever go on writing these words for you..
But by now you should be able to unfold my mind else everything would just wrap into a meaningless ring..
