My Friend On a day when you are blue Let me tell you You're unique and one of a kind Someone like you I will never find Live a life of serenity Not of regrets You'll make it through Whatever comes along With a skip and a song Reach for your peak Your goal your prize Within you are the answers That the questions denied As you fly and you seek Take the time to Wish upon a star To look beyond the sea The rivers and chasms Across the mountains very far For someday You will know Just how special a person You are My friend Copyright ©2004 Roopesh Chandra Bose

Forever I wish that I could see you Just once more But it cannot be so I would have lived my life Under your loving gaze But was not to be And now If you cannot be a part of my life Then I must forget you Your memories And if I had to make a wish It would be to go on Alone, without anyone For if not you , then no one No one.

The Road The road is alive tonite For the winds sing the tune I have heard all my life For the moon shines lite A long walk down the road Watching the stars shine bright The birds fly high Down the road tonite It wound like a snake Across the forgotten wasteland A carrier of dreams & delight Down the long road tonite Bringing freedom to those who seek A path long forgotten It shimmers in the light For it goes home tonite Copyright ©2003 Roopesh Chandra Bose

The Ocean As I watched the sun go down Across the infinite sea I remembered a face that held me From deep within a voice Sail away across the the broken sea To be a nomad as can be I held on Far across the rising moon A lonely bird Tt's cries lost across the waves Made me wonder I had come too far To turn back now I reached out And watched as it flew across A barren ocean Someday... For the ocean will be forever As I turned and walked away Copyright ©2002 Roopesh Chandra Bose

The Most Beautiful Sound When you walk with the trees And hear the wind play through the leaves Laughing like little children a secret found That my friend Is the most beautiful sound When you hear your child take its First breath and cry Looking at the deep blue sky With a tear on your lips And a tinkle in your eye When you walk through the green grass Hearing it sigh heavily beneath your feet As the sun softly breaks new ground That my friend Is the most beautiful sound As I walk by the shore Hearing the deep blue sea roar White against the sand and boulder With nothing but the mighty wind To tease and to hold her A mothers song, sweet, lingering Beautiful than a prima donna melody The child sleeps as I walk the street around That my friend Is the most beautiful sound Copyright ©2005 Roopesh Chandra Bose

Tom shook the water off his coat as he stepped into the dingy inn. He stared at the falling drops as his steaming coffee arrived. Winter was coming fast and he had to find a job before his reserves ran out. Amid his gloomy thoughts her face came through, laughing and playful. He smiled as he thought of her waiting at home for him. He paid for the coffee and walked out, just as the sun broke through the clouds. Checking his empty pockets he pulled out his last coins. Grinning like a boy, he thought "Just enough to buy a rose". With a spring in his steps, he searched for a flower-shop. He had one more stop to make before he reached home.
