SOMETIMEs


Sometimes all you can give is love 
Sometimes all you have is not enough 

Sometimes life is like a dream 
Sometimes dreams aren't what they seem 

Sometimes laughter can heal your heart 
Sometimes it's s laughter that breaks it apart 

Sometimes the world goes faster than you can go 
Sometimes even fast is still too slow 

Sometimes going home is the only thing on your mind 
Sometimes home is the only place you can’t find 

Sometimes you are too tired to sleep 
Sometimes you are too sad to weep 

Sometimes freedom holds you back 
Sometimes a wedding dress is black 

Sometimes loneliness is what you need 
Sometimes there's s a harvest without a seed 

Sometimes darkness can be too bright 
Sometimes rain gives you delight 

Sometimes you think you understand 
Sometimes you know you really can't t 

Sometimes what sets you free are restrictions 
Sometimes what makes most sense are contradictions

Fire Snow

Some say that love is born of fire, A frantic flame that feeds on breath, To satisfy a wild desire And lead a soul to golden death. I’ve tasted such a burning brand, It seared within my heart and mind; A drought upon a summer land That left a bitter dust behind. But I have known a different cold— Not like the hate that freezes deep, But like the hemlock, dark and old, Where winter crows their vigils keep. For when the fire begins to wane And leaves me heavy with my rue, A dust of snow, like falling rain, Descends to make the spirit new. A sudden brush against the sleeve, A quiet word, a cooling touch; Small graces help the heart believe That passion does not owe us much. For love is neither ice nor flame, But how the white drifts drench the red; It gives the day a gentler name And saves the path that we must tread. -Jairam Kshirasagar
