Sir

 

Life is so vague, so random.

We change by the night, by the moment.

So what?

Is it not characteristic of a sapien?

 

One must not stress over such triviality,

Knees do go weak, hearts do give in.

If everyone were as consistent as him,

On this very earth, heavens would have been.

 

The world’s job is simple,

Do not compete with him.

No matter how hard you work,

Racing ahead will be a distant dream.

 

People could weave stories,

Make efforts to pretend to be content.

Nothing works in this part of the world,

His legacy will always last, till the very end.

 

His embrace is where liberation resides,

His touch rekindles life.

Forget the rules by which you abide,

You belong in his arms tonight.

Chandler

 

Too often, I have been inclined,

To set everything right.

Rectify wrongs, even if not mine,

But thanks to some prophecy divine,

I screw up the means and the time.

 

But is it not okay to fail?

With these people so frail.

Misplaced egos outweighing the scale.

For everything, ever ready to shift blame,

Always a sad story- so stale.

 

But we die a little with every goodbye,

And I like staying fully alive.

You needn’t apologize, 'cause never will I,

Just do not ask for an eye for an eye.

'Cause I do not know if you guys qualify,

But my love is absolute- forever-like. 

Mightier than those gods above the sky. 

You know that, right?

That settles the case for tonight.
