He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.

Kiss of life

-
Let not my stubbornness kill her, let not your stubbornness kill her,
Let not my ego kill her, let not your ego kill her,
Let not my stupor kill her, let not your stupor kill her,
Let not my naivete kill her, let not your naivete kill her;

She is as much your child as she is mine,
I can't heal this baby without you, you can't heal her without me...

Don't allow me to abandon her, don't abandon her yourself;
Our baby deserves the kiss of life, not the kiss of death,
A life of great vigour, tempered by our own experiences...

Selfish Organs

-
Its doomed to fail, the brain tells me,
The heart implores - go try once more,
If you jump ship its torrid waves, brain warns,
The heart tempts me - there’s an oasis ashore!

You’re brazenly being wronged, the brain tells me,
Heart says – balancing accounts can wait for later,
Its only agony and pain, the brain cautions me,
Heart counters – increasing torment increases the ardor!

The brain pleads – I’m just trying to save your heart,
The heart retorts – I’m ‘smart’ enough to take my own care!
And so I lie battered, in this internecine battle of selfish organs,
Of the wounds they’re causing to their master, they seem so happily unaware!
