Teenage dream

Round n’ round we go

Scream n’ shout we did

Hop n’ hopped the ropes

Jump and jumped the bounds

Rip n’ ripped the boards

Rebelled n’ rebels we were

Chase n’ chased that will

Love and loved our thrills.

Fight n’ fought no cause

Smoke n’ smoked the fun

Pump n’ pumped we were

Its teen and teenage dreams

Taunt n’ haunt the kids

Old n’ the older still

Fast n’ faster we passed

each race and raced in time

Fly n’ flew we past

All times and timed age

the Passions n' passionate affairs

of the teens and teenage dreams.

Reverie

Flirting sunshine in shades of grey,

hints for a smile on a busy day.

Colored glasses reflecting a hidden soul,

by and by the smiles begin to grow.

Reduced tempo of the tapping toes,

pause awhile into sudden glare.

Absorbing fortunes from the star,

brings hope in you untold.

The shades of pastel with changing light,

reveals an art beyond the frame.

All travelers of searching soul,

draw close to a satisfying end.

As the clouds of doubts disappear,

to radiant gleam and twinkling eyes.

Looking at the heavens above,

we have, have found our dreams.

The intrepid

Oh what a fool I've been,

laying in memories for time being.

In the whole enchilada I see,

associates back to familiarity.

Have come a long long way, 

thorough missions in a tragic past.

Haunting in the glory of bygone

wane to find anew each day.

But time is no excuse,

For the one that strives for verity,

if one is true to own divine,

there’s no pain but sovereignty.

As only a mighty
can fight the war of hope within,

to amend the very thought,

from slothful habitual undertaking.

It’s that slightest change

sets apart ones every resolution,

bringing life to a definitive conclusion.

Kindling the passions of love and accord,

to steer every consequential action.

and bring peace within mind and soul,

together they'd stay and live unafraid.

Legacy

In a world filled of amused melodies,

we’re often distracted by cacophony,
In a life engulfed in laughter,
many a brave have had shed a tear.

In reasons we believe,

yet words betray the truth,
In love we trust but,
the hate eats in you a bit.
In all wonders of coincidences,
at times we find ourselves offbeat.
In the youth of surprised enthusiasm,
memories and flesh wear out in time.
In dreams a future we revere,
but the past unsettles in you a bit.

Through a life of assured opportunities,

there are questions if we’re truly free.
For if the heavens quake to thunder,
tis only to soften the land under.
Then we must avenge all compromise and dogma,
and thus in our legacy we shall be free.
