Yesterday
You were
With me
Today
You are
Not with me
My daughter
I miss you
When I jog
Wish you were
Always with me
(dedicated to my daughter, my jogging partner; she accompanies me on the weekends, on the weekdays she is in school, so I miss her)

Miracle
I woke up
With a
Miracle
One day
Seeing
Spanish
Weather
In the UK
;-)
The clouds
And rain had
All fleeted
Away
Leaving me
With plenty
Of sunshine
To soak in
Every day :-)
(Hope this does not remain mere wishful thinking and becomes a reality so that I don't have to go to Spain in search of some better weather because Winter is knocking and I feel like flying away again to Spain. I've been there twice this year and want to go there every year to get some respite from the harsh British weather.)
Tired
Tired souls
Trying to
Make it
Work
Returning
Home
Going
Back to
Work
(pertaining to the daily commuting that millions of people do for earning a living)
Struggling
He's
Struggling
I'm
Struggling
She's
Struggling
We all are
Struggling
To make
Struggles
End
Though
We don't
Know
If while
Living
They'll
Ever
End
As
Life is
All about
Struggling
Till Death
Puts an End
(Theme: Struggles)
Slow
You slow down
Life slows you down
And then you wonder
Why were you running
So fast
To eventually get
Slowed down..??
(Theme: Pace)
Stopped
In those
Houses,
Time has
Stopped.
Only the
Heartbeats
Are waiting
To see
When
They'll be
Stopped...
By Death.
(pertaining to old age homes)
NHS
If you drink,
If you smoke
It will make the
NHS choke,
And if NHS chokes
You'll surely choke!
NHS - National Health Service of UK which is already pressurized and plagued by many health issues and hence, its quality of care has also gone down over the past years. GPs and Nurses are having to cope with a lot of diurnal pressure. Lots of cases come to NHS relating to cancers and other severe diseases caused by chronic smoking and drinking. If people give up alcohol and cigs, it will not only benefit them, it will ease the amount of pressure on NHS. Our health is in our hands if we take care of it, rather than spoiling it by our everyday bad habits of nicotine and tobacco, binge drinking, etc. What's the use of spending so much on drinks and cigs and then spending a lot more time, money and effort in getting the right treatment for our maladies which could have been prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle..??
Want
What I want
From you,
You'll not
Give it to
Me
What you
Want from
Me, I'll not
Give it to
You
So let's not
Want anything
From each other
As there's no
Giving from
Me and you
Recall
I always
Wondered
Why they
Never
Talked
About
Their
Childhood
They
Didn't have
Much to talk about
Who wants to
Recall -
A painful
Childhood?
It's Time
It's time
To stop
Talking
To
Everyone
Why?
'Cause
I need to
Save some
Energy
For
Talking
To the
Only
Invisible
One,
The
Invincible
One,
That
Silent
One
Who
Doesn't
Talk much
But makes
Us do
All the
Talking
Pray,
Who is it?
