Let the critics tear me down
I am a wall they will not drown
A darling moon their hate cloak not
Pearly smile to jade their frown
My truth blooms whilst their lies rot
Weeds of evil by hatred sown
A ghost of friends torment my cot
But lies do not rule our good town

When I crave for you, the touch absent,
And will this then be my fate to be rift?
And will our love be forever cleft by the distance of jails?
As if any wall barricades the fury, force Of Love, magnificent, pure, deep, rare as ocean,
The longevity of tides that churn, erode the bricks, bars,
You seek escape, Peace your destination.

As I meet the man, the legend infamous
And will this then (I thought) be true epiphany of him?
And so when the illusion is shorn is he still wrought bright?
(As if one alone could understand his Heart's motives,
So big a book to read, its story,
Fathoms deep in joy such as eludes even the Gods,
Who themselves know not the Beauty of their sketch.)

Music is the dream
Of World abloom with song
Consciousness of Peace
As Nature riot in the throng
Imagined by the Heart
Beacon of delight
Far outshine the stars
Incessant motion! In the night
An opera, a ballad
Descant of the noon
The opera evolution
Ballad birdies' croon
Sonata of the summer
Sunrise writes the score
Pure as hymns of Sunday
Tell of a pious war

Dear Friend, it has been long, how do you do?
The season's turn, are lonely for you gone
No doubt you have some tales of Love, of fun
But distance turns my heart from red to blue

Lady, belle, beau babe, you are a light
Of majesty towards which I must fly
For you are dancing in a freer sky
Than that which cloaks me in the darkling night

The devil haunt and topple my sky which
Brilliant, bright with dreams, by tortures crushed
But when with you the memory of him hushed
For you bring Love, for you superior witch

For you I beget sweet and tender psalms
Would regale thee hours long with drams
Let's see the world from Tokyo to Amsterdam

Be forever happy, forever young
At Heart, never such a passion sung
By saints or angels from illustrious tongue

Love the craving to follow your light
Greater than the impulse of sin
Like dove on wing I take nascent flight

Fathom eternity deep and bright
The mysteries that reside within
Aura of the seraph burnished bright

In gold and sparks of iridescent white
Their Hearts and Love, an honour to win
The Devil, his curse they interdict

Soaring through the worlds and spheres
Past the stars my mind zoomed, ran
Untainted by bludgeon of times years

Towards the all, the goddess nears.

Let Change Ourselves for Peace
Love has different shades which culminate
On oneness of humanity on the color of blood
Let us purify our hearts to be the associate
In violent human emotions like vehement flood

Peace of soul and heart totally refines mind
Inner eye sees the things in light with real clarity
Steps in love makes it easy to declare,find
Hearts start to beat in a trance but with solidarity

Let us initiate love for peace and peace for love
Let be frank, free and straight in our approach to life
Let listen to our heart and symphony from above
Let us abolish the barriers of hate and carriers of knife

Let us celebrate each day as the World Peace Day
The absence of war and violence is the only solution
Let us join hands from all shades of humanity to pray
This may be the only pact and contract for resolution
