Should I, shouldn't I

-
I think I don't know him enough,
I'm sure I don't understand him enough,

Yet sometimes that feeling of unfamiliar familiarity…
Should I, shouldn't I…

What if it's a wrong choice?
What if it all fails?
What if it's a joke that's happening,

Yet if earnestly serious he really is…
Should I, shouldn't I...

Why not wait for a minute?
Why not hold back for a while?
Why not give it some more time,

But suppose it gets too late by then…
Should I, shouldn't I...

How far should I go?
How long should this flow?
When would I know?
Should I, shouldn't I...

An uncertain world we live in,
Yet certain choices we have to make,
Certainty in this uncertain world...
Beauty of our human predicament.

Bumbling Along

-
Bumbling, mumbling, tumbling along,
Blabbering, rambling, gambling,
Ambling through the maze of life…

Wandering, exploring, stumbling…
Wondering as I wander,
Can these myriad hues be fathomed…

Buttressing and contradicting,
With full earnestness, mind you Sir,

Rationalizing then irratiotionalizing,
With full sincerity, mind you Madam,

And then just laughing it all out :-D

As I bumble through the maze of life…

A Smile :-)

Beyond babble, beyond cacophony,
Beyond chatter and idle noise,
Beyond the confine of words,
A smile, your smile...

More than speech can ever voice,
More than reams of poetry can ever express,
Beyond the confine of words,
A smile, your smile...

Refreshing, liberating, exhilarating,
That smile, your smile...
