Gone Fishing

 

Fishermen cast out their nets 

We all in turn go fishing 

Some will use a rod and line 

While others fish by wishing

Some wish for so many things

 Like numbers in a line 

If the line is lacking some 

Next time they say that’s fine

Others fish for gossip 

So they can tell to others 

No escape for anyone 

Not even someone’s brothers

Fishing for a missing sock 

The washer won’t release 

Hiding out behind the drum 

With fluff and bits of fleece

You see we all go fishing 

Not always using bait 

Just cast a line for what you want

 Then settle down and wait

Song of the Boatman

  Come Sir, I shall
take you across
safe and easy
in my small boat
across the river

we are all
crossing all the time
going places
and passing stages;
let me help you
on this one, Sir

a small fee is all I ask
and really it'll be a
pleasant journey across;

you can put your
hands in the cool water
while I paddle us across

I was born here
in the sheds along the shore;
I learned my trade
as soon as I could walk;

all my life has been here
and this is where
I shall be all my days

It's all good, Sir, for me
if I can do a good turn
as you pass by;

and so you might
also do me a good turn
at the end
giving me a deserved fee
that I can bring to my
wife and children

Come Sir, I shall
take you across
safe and easy
in my small boat
across the river

Raj Arumugam

for your valentine day

Looking for love

What makes one love
What makes one miss
And grieve the one
That's gone?

Emotions... nothing but emotions.
Emotions come emotions go
Yet we remain alone

Alone to dream
Alone to hope
That one day soon
The One will come along
To be with us

We love, we cry
We hope...
Yet we remain alone

Faces, dreams...
Hearts that search for love
A sea of souls
Hope that never ends
Looking for their true love.
