From that world she came
(Known or unknown, no one cared)
Where those daily routines were the same
A moment to rest she was ne'er spared
Her palms bore the scars of her daily indulgence
The cracks in her heels was the other evidence
Daily at four she rose
Exhausted but always she was
Then after those morning duties away
To the classroom at midday

The journey long but what a relief
The moment sweet but only brief
Her hands and feet in a momentary freedom
From that sovereign rule of works' kingdom
She then rests by a roadside shade
Exhaustion another punctuation has made
She sighs taking in the breeze
In her mind wonders what life is
But up! To school she must run
For she remembers she has to learn

She is scolded for being late
And reminded of how punctuality to excellence is gate
In class, no place to sit
The classroom small, they all will not fit
She resigns, stands at the back
Her shoulders against that wall full of dirt
Those wide open eyes suddenly start to glitter
You can tell her heart is heavy
She then looked down to the ground with shame
And then from every eye, a tear came!

For all that beauty barely complete
And those feelings excessively discreet
For that temperament seemingly basic
A smile? Oh what dearth and defeat!
For these and all those things that aren't
I will love 100%

The figure I scarcely behold
The name too old to be told
The dimples create a tempting fold
From which he must be controlled
But why am I moved? Heaven sent!
I will love 100%

Heart pounding ever fast
Eyes down! All shame is cast
Must I love or must I forget
I will destroy and then beget
Then when all my guilt is spent
I will love 100%

The wind made the earth's constituents rise in a spiral fashion
And that cyclone-like sight gladly amazed we
All our worries seemed lost in that temporary hallucination
For nothing before had had the power to set us free

His pillow absorbs all his tears
His bed is as it were a cushion to his fears
The dormant curtains shut out all the light
And in his heart, the time is night!

There is hope a hundred fold
Hope for something we greatly desire
There is hope for a love untold
That it will yield what others will greatly admire
So the thing to do is to pray
That God will show and guide the way
For if white roses become red
Then a greater love has been bred
But bright flowers grow by a bright light
So that their growth can be prolonged in a darkened night
When comedians make audiences snigger
When trees from mustards become bigger
So it's not a thing anymore of grit
Nor to surrender to one's wit
But it's a thing purely of the divine
For in the end, that love will be yours and mine!

Her heart stopped its beating,
And the blood in her veins froze.
We were crippled by the resultant feeling;
And that loss brought us endless woes!

This heart has pumped blood to my brain for 30 years
But this heart, got its love and life from your heart
So my tribute, my homage to you can only be my tears
And in silence, in solitude, your memory brings me comfort.

She took a lifetime to decide,
yet the vision in her mind was complete.
All those feelings were hidden inside;
for words of affection, she could not speak!

The image in her eyes was the perfect door to that hidden world
And all her beholders had the trappings of the meek and mild
But what they saw was nothing of the ordinary
And it'd be uncomely to label it 'bereft of glory.'

She is the perfect light that has illumined this path
The sacred beauty that has trodden this earth
All the ancients and presents have pointed to her
For in every dark sky, she's the only star!

She is the sole star in her galaxy
Her walk is akin to that of the diety
Her radiant beauty that all men see,
Is the power by which mortal men are set free!

A pleasant guest deserves a fair goodbye
Only if he promises not to stay
But if he so pleases your eye
Be not ashamed to say
For if in your hastily timing
You make him change his mind
Then later at your combining
You may each other remind
Of how goodbye leaves sad partedness
With nothing to repair the broken-heartedness
So farewell is never the word to say
For true friends will always stay!

The strength of her embrace was as a salve to my soul,
And her love, - like reins -  my life would control.
Her glance was the perfect knell to my ear,
And no moment was more blessed as when she was near!

It's the image I see on my wall
And all the features I observe closely
The smile is like an ever sounding knoll,
That bids me seek that union boldly
My energies are well spent - I will not relent
For many joys to my life she's already lent

The tears: joyful tears they were
The endless stories and rib-cracking laughter
The cake, food, and drinks on every special day
The satiety, the tired, the headache thereafter!

The simple life: when you'd call my name from afar
A listening ear: when I'd tell you the things I prefer
Loving eyes: when you smiled endlessly at my sight
Warm hands: all the work you did to fill my life with light!

Heaven's now filled with comedy
No history nor tragedy
For heaven's known for the better
A place that never grows old
You partook naught of the nether
So in the former, we shall you behold
But, alas, you were gone so fast
Before our generation could spring to this crust
We miss you but not what you wrote
For in your writings, our pleasures are got
Now you have heaven for a fairest stage
No critics, no death, no tempest rage
So choose your plays carefully
That divine merry may last eternally
And when every Saint an actor you know
Send us on earth some scripts to show

Warm winds blew on the thirtieth day of March
And all the coldness of men's hearts was expelled
The inklings of love that were ignited begun their search
And men of stone and crust were equally compelled

Light does not get us thinking
Shallow waters are no good for sinking
Love does not get us loving
But desire performs the act well
The fool rejoices in having
But has no story to tell
The money man takes to progress
When hard times press
The sailer thinks of the shore
When the waves heap
No lover is a sower
And yet wants to reap!

This heart will always be your home
For you are well-rested but not gone
Your eternal sceptre still stands here
And my everlasting tribute will be a tear!

Their slogans and clatter mingled with untold fury,
As they charged towards him like a fierce gale,
His eyes widened, his joints collapsed, his face was pale,
But they just didn't care; he had to be dealt with duly.

The shy moon gave his face a sinister veneer
And made all his homely features quickly disappear,
So all they could see was a man afraid -
Afraid because of the guilt his heart bred.

With broken bones and bleeding flesh he lay half dead.
The last piece of life wrestled within him.
Only then was a voice from the crowd heard that said;
"Oh no! It was not him!"

Dark nights have faded - they had no power
Truest joys of life have now infected every hour
Bright loves now blossom and gently flower
And so, all such things that we proudly call 'our'

The snowflakes melted when they touched her heart
And her breath dispelled the cold of every man’s hearth
Her touch was like the promise of an ancient god
And her glance pierced deeply like an invisible sword

Those four walls were his companions
So darkness was the result.
In that world were many unknowns
And many a thing to worry about.

Dull or fine
Let this heart be thine
And thine, mine
Let us, as friends, dine!

Come today - don't delay
Show me the way
the smooth road to your heart
where I may rest in comfort!

Our troubles have truly overwhelmed us.
Afflicted we are by this unknown curse.
Everyday has had its lights extinguished,
And every hour has been but clouded in mist.

The winds propelled her scent to far and distant lands
Her smile was the portrait everyman held in his hands
Her voice like a melody sounded sweet in my ears
And her glance like magic brought an end to my tears!

Let the blood gently ooze
Let me this life slowly snooze
What new hope does the morrow bring
When dirges about me they sing!

With none to own,
Forlorn and gone.
Broken but reborn,
Will live for eon.

Exsanguinated; torn
Swords of sorrow; mourn
Joy had seen its dawn
But now, the man's alone.

His head couldn't contain the misery it had conceived
And his heart burst from the pressure of his woes
No more tears were to be shed - for he'd been happily grieved
And lost already was the fragrance of those roses at his toes!

Each mind poured into the other the anguish it bore
For agony had characterized their lives heretofore
Their skulls couldn't contain the weight of their commotion
So their hearts broke down as the only sign of devotion

Teddy my dear, when the leaves become yellow
Then know it is autumn
The season when my spirits are low
And my life short of fortune
But time flies as they say
So we hope spring will not delay
When the fields are once again green
And our beauties more clearly seen
But again time hastes its roaming
To bring summer heavily dawning
The heat is not for us to dare
For now autumn was a season more fair
That we dreaded but now is gone
Leaving me by my friend forlorn
Winter then brought us new wheels
Leaving us jovial from head to heels
We played about, sank in snow
It was then "Teddy," I said, "your love I now know."

My wishes were not blown away with the wind
And my hopes - buried as they were - began to rescind
Of an ideal life, me she does remind
And my joy’s complete only when those pearls I find!

Your body in flames
Unable to call out our names
Slowly you gave up your breath
In agony, you met your death.

Your image disfigured
Consumed beyond recognition
Our estate beleaguered
Volatile things and their ignition.

Our eyes blinded by tears
Consolation and its lost appeal
The act confirmed our fears
The pain is deep - for real!

He wasn't looking for perfection,
But found its equivalent in her.
He wasn't looking for illumination
But found a bright light in her star.
In the end, he was eluded by that perfection
But found a loving heart in her!

Her smile was the perfect item of his devotion
And it's loss meant the start of his deterioration
He sees not now what he saw then
And his woes are such that no man may pen

Did we meet on such a day as this
My mind that memory shall ne’er miss.
But does it make you rue or rejoice
Were you even glad to have heard my voice
Was it my vain insistence that led us to this
And have you not for a moment longed for release
I see your heart glittering with innocence
While mine recovers from its daily offense
Must you not cast me away with haste
Don’t you dread being ruined by my quest
By Pollux! You will one day see the free
But Venus will keep you away from me
When you smile, I will blink not my eye
But, alas, my vision is blurred! Aye!
All those royal features I cannot see
And I am not (have never been) deserving of thee.

Weakness wrapped its hands about me
And patiently, it didst lead me to thee
Your worthiness was clear before my eyes
A part of me for thee was(is) willing to die
I recall many a homely encounter
And when for a time I was to you, “arbiter”
Perhaps my speech betrayed my desire
Which in turn sparked in your interiors a fire
Why did my fears bother you?
Yet you said you felt the same and that we’d rue
When to you did I appear offensive
But I too had my share of actions-repulsive
I still dread what shall occur on that day,
For the picture is still clear in my head
But Venus with alacrity will lead me away
I will then be, but in whose stead?

There’ll be a brighter light someday
When all my miseries will be wiped away
Perhaps then I’ll be more deserving of you
Unlike now, when my ‘qualities’ are few
So, let me sojourn in this barren land
And seek counsel from that golden hand
Let those wounds heal by degrees
I too need to feel the chilly breeze
I cannot teach you how to love
For my heart is engulfed in mauve
I, this day, shall have no gift to offer
But you in nearest days shall surely prosper
That “light” will be your guide
Joy shall forever be by your side
You see it all – You know my faults and fears
With shame, may my only tribute this day be my tears!

Their sorrows were halved when they cried
And daily, the strength of their empty hearts was tried
The dirge took them gracefully to another place
And every image of their death, they were quick to embrace!

You gave my life the brightness of light
You dispelled with your touch the substance of night
My heart absorbed the fervour you displayed
And that beauty in your eyes had me thoroughly compelled.

She listens closely for those soundless whispers
She even hovers about at vespers
She sees what no one sees
And shakes her head at the ******!

She’s always prying, never satisfied
She doesn’t care about the ‘classified’
When discovered, she says, ‘enough’
But then, she’s only started to bluff

‘I free you from *******’, saith she
Then I thought I was truly free
She lurked around though I couldn’t see
And surely, soon again, she was after me!

It was enough for him to try
For they departed one by one
The abode was left clean and dry
And brilliantly lit by the noonday sun

Come forth dark night
And extinguish all features of light
I have sought the latter with delight
But I’m enfeebled by your might!

In my world, all angels are heaven-sent!
Every moment with her fills me with amazement
Her eyes glitter like the midnight moon,
And her speech has the sound of my favorite tune.

Her embrace parts the waters of my misery
And her smile is the symbol of her verity
Her face is the treasure I carry in my mind
For a love as hers is truly a rare find!
