You humble me down By the naivity of your actions You make me wander in the streets of town Overwhelmed by jollity's screams, innumerable captions You make me find out my purpose Searching the long way but eventually grasping Indirectly, with no ease, then at last to find it in my purse Unfolding my life answers, now overlapping You scare me enough to gape When I scrape off your tint to find the glittering gold In patches I can align to shape Then I discover, illusions could be cold I feel right in my heart for the fossils i have gathered I now know you better and my doubts have been scattered

Despite
Do not fall in love With the wind You can feel its air But you can't touch You can laugh and cry But it won't hear you You can try hard and hard But it won't look at you So yes Do not fall... For the wind that blows

Wind
Oh rain! Fall on my riddles Where i go i see no path bain Getting far away from me are my life's tiddles Oh rain! My soul dies with bitterness everyday And it is me who feeels the pain Wash it so tranquility may find space to stay someday Oh rain Chase my fog away and find me a way To undress and blow my sorrows so they wind around any chain To let me fly so i may even in May Oh rain! Gather your drops To join my broken then cease to allure sunshine to befall on my crops.

Rain
So what are you enraged at? Do you not know the secret of pacify? Stay mirthful like a kitten relying on a mother cat Enhance the bounty of art and upon smiles magnify Write, read, recite poems Dance to end your moves with a feathered heart Ignore life's vexing potholes they are just bumbs Never heap your gloom for that only does hurt Sing loudest if it will suppress your pain Make sighs, go for a walk, swim Draw what makes you sad and love your art for that is main Run fast for laughs and store your medals to the brim Play the ball, tennis, chess and then chase victory with your art Tell stories but above all aim with burdens part!

Sweet sonnet
She troubles my mind Her body is installed in my brain I try to put her behind But none of my thoughts seem to trickle or drain She has rendered me restless And she does not want me calm She is white her heart needs me not helpless And she is sorry destiny chose not to stay in her palm The promises of my ancestor's adage That i should work hard to find seems like a fad Since till now i have not found someone of her gauge The way she is confined by the magic of her lover makes me mad ...I have come across many buoyant and classy Although i still envy her partner because she is more sassy

Love Sonnet
I am the pretty one She feels my head with irk Being his pet she has to learn I am sure she will blunder when she tries to mimic For i am she who taught him love's fantasy And you vanished while i covered his flaws Even when his voice was never bassy Even when he was still staggering to make acquaintance with life's laws I stood by his throne of tin and became his queen Till now i make his chest vibrate His love for me does not have to be instigated by how we have been You can go away flattering yourself and upon my sight hate I am glad for within him i have nurtured my home So i can smile because i know his second will be just but a mome

PRETTY ONE sonnet
I did not know i was the thorn To ***** my laughter mates to bleed I did not know i was the stone To heave burdens on their shoulders never meant to be their deed Not even aware of my spikes Which pierce their skins to tears Ignorant to know that me was the somebody they sought for with mikes Yet so near for all those years I did not know i was the scissors Cutting and perforating their hearts to feel with desire Having no righteousness next to Jesus But being granted the loyalty of a mayor When i become binded no longer free like a bird in a hurry Is when i know the demon in me but all i say is sorry

DEMON ME sonnet
Be not good at loosing hope Everyone preaches that for our tomorrow That is the anchor with storms to cope That we must possess not borrow Whom do we leave it for? If that is the bird we have at hand? Strife is part and parcel of our lives therefore Like lyric is part of band Beliefs that make normal our abnormalities Yet inside filled with physical and mental disease Where grows past, present and future's uncertainties But despite all bestowing an optimism that never wants to cease Hope is a sinew for every daily suffering And energy's fadedness always colouring

HOPE sonnet
Why do I still rush? Back to the land of ******* Is it because my legs and mind coalesce? They are aware it is like hell Yet they still run into that fire ...The reason is because they look at the future And tell the rest of the body How diverting to glory for such a little span of time Will vanish in a few moments They want to take it slow while heading for success But not by drowning themselves In the shallow oceans of deceit Why do I still roam in the night? The night which has already shown me its dead side And whose torture I still remember ...The reason is because I want to play a game A nice drama in which I turn out to be the winner How pleasing I imagine To prove others in good will, without fight? How soothing is it to see them Break into dance by my tone of silent song? Why do I keep on meditating about the past? The past so unfair... That has always tarnished my good image once I remember? That has always wanted me to change the perception Of those whom I long ago forgave? ...The reason is I don't want to forget I want those memories to drive the conscience of my mind That never once should I do such cruelty to another being The memories that once triggered... remind me constantly that "Recall where you come from and the wishes of your people also" Why do I still allow myself to live? In this place full of my enemies... Whom I know very well do not want me apart from treating me like trash Why do I keep on subjecting myself to this? Yet I know it takes away the peace in the whole of me And fixes it with all kinds of disharmony? ...The reason is I am still tracing the map of a happy destination Once I set off, that will be it forever Why do I still ride? In this path of sin Why do I still agree, yet I know it is a serious shameful crime? Allowing my body to get tampered with? ...The reason is, I aim for something I know that I am just one(God pardon me) And these sacrifices I make Are relied upon by many They all adore me knowing that all in all I got them covered That on this earth I am their second god... In their hands they got my trust, and in mine I got their safety Why do I keep on running into the rain? This rain which once it falls Collects all its anger on me When it lands on me...three drops already make me yell in pain The first one I feel like it is the pain of a needle The next one I feel like its pain resembles that of a spear The last one I feel like it I'd fire Surely what kind of mercies do I plead for? ...The reason is Every time I am always looking for a fortune in that rain I know its other good side and so I won't stop

...Their lies They just seem like They grow everyday Their air is stronger And so it is what I breathe But it hurts that After all this I am the one who lags behind ...Their talks They are just like Flowers which blossom every morning To concentrate their scent on every person's ***** But their acts of love hurt Such that they speak a lot of good Which have a lot of void in them They make promises Too bad that I am the one Who ends up being unfulfilled ...Their jokes Huh, they never cease And the one who laughs is me Who expresses great talent and pleasure in them Who even in the unseen Can still sing praises about their invisible goodness ...Yet when they fly They reach the sky alone ...Their walks It just seems like Their company is heaven sent Any time, any day There is always me Who won't just resist their ways But they walk with the same two legs I use And leave my path unclean They run when I don't see Since I had to constrict my eyes For them not to grp I'll by the touch Of the dust they blew Beware of them Those caring who te you things Those loving who you will do all to please I pray you have ears But do not listen Because they have minds and you think pure Whereas their thoughts are impure Thinking on how they can step on you So they can emerge winners among the crowd Try this day Find your own way That has been waiting for you I promise that You will not get lost once you set off Because at least you do your work open mindedly And again the light Loves the reflection of the genuine Go your way, and be happy
