Life is opportunity
Every hour, every day
Every minute that ticks away
Luck is not what rules the world
There is always is an opportunity behind
A pearl to discover, to find
Waiting for us to realize
There is opportunity for us
To learn, serve and rise
The harder a problem seems
The higher we can grow
Seize every opportunity, seize life
So fear becomes inept
When we find the gift in everything
We will become adept.

every morning we are born again. what we do today is what matters most.

You are everything

You are everything**
You are the sea, which helps me to sail.
You are my umbrella, which protects me from the rain.
You are the medicine, curing internal pain
You are the courage, giving me your hand as not to fail.
You are my soul, cooling me down
You are the power, which I feel
I wish you lived forever
The love master
Embrace me! I believe on you
The corners-tone of my career.
You are the shade blessed by the divine
The loved queen…
You are the land
A place of livelihood
You are the educator
Care taker…
You are the icon of existence
The source of joy and happiness
You are the brain
The body machine
If I was a painter,
I could have portrayed you
All over..
If I was a magician
I could have put you, deep in the hearts.
Yes!... you are the love guardian
Blessed me again
To see the bright future
Mother
I wish you lived forever.

wooden life

for some time
you are proud, *****
the fresh buds thrive upwards
swaying gaily
to the touch of winds.
then, the season is over.
a saw tears through every vein
the whole of your graceful height-
collapsing down.
gray beauty, lifeless, dead soft
takes over the green past.
there you see, what you didn't see!
you are a born wood
or born to be a wood!
it's go her way time-then
life is the carpenter
holding the saw and the hammer.
she makes you ears...
eyes, nose and even color!
now and then reshapes you
to her taste and desire.
bit by bit, you dissolve into saw dust
every time getting smaller
until you finally disappear!

I Light the Torch

I light a torch and hold it high
It shines so bright it lights the sky
You see the light, you know it's me
You find the strength and set yourself free
From the pain and sorrow you've felt of late
Your heart now softens, gone is the hate
Two becomes one across the miles
We begin our journey to do the trials
Set out for us to complete
Each one we know we can defeat
At the end we know for sure
Standing side by side hearts are pure
We fought the bad and won hands down
Good prevails and wears the crown

Meley

You know I am a wild fire mama!
I burn like a battery acid,
I descend like rolling stone.
I fly like the eagle, I fall like a sparrow.
God, I race like a stallion,
I cut the world in half, like the sun.
But I can't run, I can't hide
From you Meley, city of love.
There is no need for me to try.
I have drifted to the edge of the world.
I have stumbled down in the snow land.
I have been frozen in cold moonlight
Lord, I have felt down.
Now I know I can't run, I can't hide
From you Meley, city of love.
There is no need for me to try.
No time, in a snow-land Meley
No peace of mind.
Yeah, am self-conscious now, mama
But I haven't learned to cold smile
Still me, I changed not!
I don't get nervous on eye contact.
Come Tuesday, I will be with you mama and be satisfied.
Show me some love, Meley
Give me a good time.
