Serving of my nation for long long years
Being in pain without shedding tears
Many hypocrites and many soothsayers
Were in my way to create many fears

But still I maintain I paved my way
In that scorching fire of the day
I kindled my soul and dwindled to pray
For Beauty of Lord who has yet to lay

Her love on heart her beauty in eyes
Soul just cherishes and body dies
Then at times in those love cries
When truth of eyes changes to lies

After covering through that long distance
Crossing hurdles boarders and fence
I yet to think to finish this sentence
And be back with my people hence

Death should come in the company of friends
That is the point where body just sends
Clay to clay and trends to trends
That is where soul always bends

To her Master to her Lord
That is the time when call of God
Embraces soul being time barred
When the land takes back her ward

Love travels and beauty goes
Like the fragrance of innocent rose
The return of native will bulldoze
Where the world has,has supposed

All problems of the day
Where one has to ultimately say
Goodbye to friends and to foes
Soul has to go and body has to stay

With crazy desires and ***** needs
Nurtures again the soil seeds
Conviction being leader always needs
Where words are encountered by good deeds

Shadows moving down
these empty, vacant halls
playing with our memories
and dancing on the walls
their voices echo moments
that we painted with our love
as my sadness still recalls
that your in the sky above
as melancholy is drifting
in intoxicating wafts
a time when you were here
when we all felt so safe

this time a slow reminder
to live within today
to be careful who you know
and be gentle what you say
as I reach out for you
the shadows slip away
and knowing in that second
I can't buy back yesterday

I can only remember
how wonderful it all was
and be ever grateful
for the ...time
that we all shared down here.

It is only until Death comes knocking at our door
that we realize we have never left the house.

tender is your daydream so sweetly dreamt
written with joyful colors and inks of a
heart cherishing the bright and intimate light of
loves enduring song
you hum the tune and i put words to it
true spoken endearment one lover to the other......
we build a sailing ship with the strength of our love
put the wild winds of our passion in the sails
we will find our paradise in eachother's bodies
lets run the fast waves in the sweet night
as we fold our self's into eachother's pleasures
lets be lost at sea to the world outside
within this cradle of the love
we are reborn to each breathtaking waking moment
in eachother's arm

I've been told that I am too broken to be loved,
too damaged,
too crooked and bent
for someone to cherish.

But perhaps it is on those very edges,
those very ragged edges,
that loves snags and is held.

So before you tell me that no one can find beauty in my chipped soul, look at your own perfect life and ask yourself if love has ever crept into the crevices and hinged itself on smooth skin.

I am not
the girl of dreams.
Occasionally nightmares
but no dear, never dreams.
I am the girl of every moment
of everyday,
and you’ll cherish me,
or like a dream
I’ll disappear
with the last of the moonlight.

Stumbled looking deep into your eyes,
I felt this is where my happiness lies.

About you I fantasized and dreamed,
So lovely and ecstatic all it seemed.

You swept me off my feet with all your charms,
I began to imagine myself in your arms.

We realized we are different no later but soon,
It was our stubbornness which led it to ruin.

You said I will remain close to your heart,
But in reality we were moving apart.

We have always wished each other the best,
Although, we're not together, we can still cherish the rest!
