My First Poem

The wonderful love of a beautiful maid
The love of a rugged true man,
The love of a baby unafraid
Have existed since life began.

But the greatest love, the love of loves
Even greater than that of a mother,
Is the passionate, tender, infinite love
Of one drunken bum for another.

The Song of Life

Dry Your Eyes And Cry No More
Your Dreams Await On Nearing Shores
A Hand Extends From Someone Near
To Cast Away Your Doubts And Fears

Its Time To Start A Life Anew
With Changes For Me And You
Cling Not To The Things You have Had
Reminders Of A Time So Sad

Trust In Things You Cannot See
And Maybe Youll Believe In Me
So Now Before You Here I Stand
Just Make A Wish And Take My Hand

Dreams Provide A New Direction
To Change Your Life And Seek Perfection
Building Blocks Of your Thought And Mind
To Implement And Teach In Kind

Spread Your Words To Those Who Listen
And Watch The Light Around Them Glisten
Know Yourself And Theyll Know You
It Simplifies What You Must Do

You Alone Must Stand As One
Amidst The Glory Of The Sun
To Bring Together Those You Find
And Share The Secrets In Your Mind

I wandered through the wasteland,
Of long forgotten dreams.
You helped me to remember
What, true love surely means.

We dance along the sandy shore,
And under velvet skies.
I wondered where the stars went
Then I found them in your eyes.

I long for your tender touch,
To let you keep me out of harm.
I wondered where my heart went,
Then I found it in your arms.

There are times when I have wandered
There are days when I have wept
There are times when I have floundered
For there's darkness in every step.

Now's the time for my returning
Far from you I've strayed away
For your love my heart is longing
And that time must be today.

And I try to hide my feeling
Though I know where where I belong
Of your love my heart keeps singing
In a never ending song.

When I read your mail
It satisfies my soul
It quenches my thirst
And makes me feel whole.

But the world keeps always judging
For my heart it does not see
Only you with eyes so searching
See that change of heart in me........

That day I learned a lesson
That will always be true
Saying goodbye to someone
Is the hardest thing to do

I've never felt a loss
Until I said goodbye
I thought I was strong
But I broke down and cried

Never will I forget
The good times we had
Though the reflections are happy
It makes me feel sad

I peered across the waters
Of an ocean, grayish-blue
I looked to the horizon
With a wish that I'd see you

I looked through blurry vision
Of a tear-drop, soft and clear
I watched them stain my pillow
With a wish that you were near

The most strong of men
Cry at their past
I only wish everyday
That the good times will last

So I humor myself
I'd smile if I could
Why can't things work out?
Because I know life isn't that good

Looking at the moon and the stars shinning bright
'should I dedicate it to her', I asked the Moon
He smiled and said, 'Just do it soon'

I remember wandering over this world on my own,
I remember wandering here knowing I was alone.
I remember that sadness filled my heart,
I remember feeling that gladness would never start.

But then you entered my life, my special friend.
It seemed immediately I saw the darkness end.
For we soon started a partnered scheme,
And together we began to build our dream.

Two hearts that called out as one,
Two lives to meld - it has begun.
Two people that need to share each others gleam,
This is why we must build this dream.

I am not perfect, I find that I fall and fail...
But having you here, love, allows me to prevail.
And I will stand beside you through all of our years,
Even if all I do is catch your falling tears.

But between us I sense a rock on which we stand.
A place from which we can work as one - hand in hand.
For us this world is not cold ,as it once did seem
For us this world is now a place to build our dream.

Two hearts that sing out as one,
One life to build - we have begun.
The two of us that have become more than a team,
And we will live our lives living our dream.

Your beauty is the wind
Your beauty is the sea
One of gods creations
For you and for me.

Your beauty is the moon
Your beauty are the stars
There is no one like you
Even on Mars.

Your beauty are the birds
Your beauty are the fish
You are most unique
Yes, you are miss.

Your beauty is the sky
So fresh and so pure
Like the rainbow it brings
I can tell that for sure.

Your beauty are the flowers
Your beauty are the trees
So wonderfull is your love
In this sweet smelling breeze.

Your beauty is like a baby
So innocent and so sweet
My heart yearns for your love, girl
I just can't bear this heat.

Your beauty is like honey
So rich and so sweet
I've never met a girl
Who's more great and neat.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder
Why the sky's so big and blue,
Why is it not red or purple
I simply have no clue.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder
Why babies cry so much,
Maybe they see the devil
I only have a hunch.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder
How far is far from near,
Hell, I'm confusing myself
I think I should have a beer.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder
Why they say, 'tIT for TAT',
And not, 'tAT for TIT'
You must be thinking I'm having a fit.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder
Why people call me a cat,
Why not a dog or a monkey
Or even a shrewd looking rat.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder
I'm getting too old for this shit,
People keep looking at me
Saying, 'He's loosing it bit by bit'.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder
That you're near but far away,
Keep writing me e-mails, darling
I don't care what people say.

I'd like to build a playhouse
Way up in a tree,
And start my own religion
Where I only worship me.

I think I'd paint my shoes all gold
And only wear maroon,
In fall I'd go and hunt for frogs
Down by the lagoon.

My diet will consist of yams
I'll cook them many ways,
I'll eat only out of coffee mugs
Except for Saturdays.

On Saturdays I'll have a feast
And invite all of my neighbors,
They'll dance and sing and all get high
Then go back to their trailers.

But I wouldn't be so happy
Living in my tree,
If I didn't have you by my side
Living there with me.

We'll make love when the sun is out
And again under the stars,
You'll show me all the planets
And we'll plan to go to mars.

If you took to wearing minI's
I think you'd look quite dashing,
With Chirag Din's and sea shells
And socks that are not matching.

We will live together quite well
As long as we are able,
Then they'll put our ashes in a jar
And set them on a table.

Come spring they'll spread our ashes out
Atop an apple seed,
A tree will grow strong and bear fruit
Upon which our friends will feed.

Love is like a flower,
Blooming in the spring
I think of you in the morning,
When birds start to sing.

Love is like a full moon,
On a hot summer's night
Walking hand in hand with you,
In the silver light.

Love is like a letter,
Going to and fro
Expressing each other's feelings,
Going from head to toe.

Love is like a book,
It has a beginning and an end
When I read Shakespeare,
I wanna be more than a friend.

Love is like a drink,
Makes your mind so light
I want to be with you,
Each and every night.

Love is like a bird,
Who always wants to fly
My love for you, girl,
Will never ever die.

Love is like music,
Brings life into your soul
When you feel lonely,
And you're body takes the toll.

Love is like water
It is what keeps us alive,
It's even sweeter than honey
Freshly bought from a hive.

Love is like a fruit
Some sour and some sweet,
Depends upon your taste
And what you like to eat.

Love is like a diamond
So beautiful and so rare,
You can easily be fooled by fakes
If you don't choose it with care.

Love is like love,
It really can't be told
You've to experience it first hand,
And you have to be bold.

Love is like you
Sweet and honey pie,
Of all the people in this world
For only you I will die.

'One Happy Moment..',

I close my eyes and think of you
And dream away my time,
Dreaming of the day you'll love me
And say you want to be mine.

I'd show up on your doorstep
One cold and rainy day,
Bring you a single rose
And you'd ask me to stay.

We'd sit and drink hot chocolate
And talk and talk and talk,
Then when we were all warmed up
We'd go out and take a walk.

Your hand softly clasping mine
Whispers your sweet voice,
All the things I'd wished you'd feel
And making my heart rejoice.

The bliss would go on and on
Forever it would seem,
Till we both must part for the day
And leave each other to dream.

I walk you to your doorstep
And we both say our goodbyes
Then I lean softly towards you,
And look into your eyes.

A soft kiss to show how much I care
All the things words cannot say
We part from each other and,
You fade as I walk away.

I work in a place called NIIT
A best amongst the herds
No-where on this planet earth
You'd find, a better bunch of nerds.

R&D is the department
Headed by a jolly good ol' man
His name is Sugata Mitra
We're all passengers in his van.

Let me speak about Delhi
Our majority is present there
You won't find really gutsy people
In this huge world, anywhere.

Sugata is our leader
Who's mind ticks like a clock
He is a very good shepherd
Who looks after his flock.

Let me introduce Monica
Who's very sweet and dear
Always looking for a pub closeby
And a pitcher full of beer.

Then we have Mr.. Lalit
Engrossed in his VB code
He's always wishing his Windows
Would work in a compressed mode.

Across the R&D quaters
In a meeting room to your right
DN's drawing huge diagrams
And giving all a fright.

We have two sikhs in our team
They make quite a brilliant pair
Even though they look so stupid
They slog worse than a mare.

If ever you saw a couple
You won't find a plummer one
Their names are Rachna and Nandini
And they don't look all that dumb.

Renu's a sweet looking damsel
Who with her look and feels
Brings quality in every discussion
With everyone she deals.

Pari is the visualizer
A very thin looking dame
She's light as a fairy
With a funny sounding name.

If psychology is your subject
I have Ritu on my mind
With a smallish looking figure
And a cute little behind.

Sanjay, Arun, Vivek are working
With the PCB's and their tools
The kind of work they keep doing
Makes us all look like fools.

Spoken a lot about Delhi
Mumbai I'll speak about loud
Four people we have working there
They're not much of a crowd.

Kiran we first encounter
Graphics is he's love
He's trying to make an aeroplane
And make it fly like a dove

In the corner you'll find a creature
His name, they call him Jude
I've never come across a person
To whom he's ever been rude.

In every dept there's a clown
Who name I will not tell
For our freedom, fought his ancestors
I hope it rings a bell.

I think I've forgotten someone
Harita is her name
I can't tell your much about her
Accept she's quite a dame.

If you're offended by this poem
Don't take it to your heart
Just think you have a upset stomach
And release a great big fart.

As I sit and think of you
Tears well in my eyes
My heart is like a wilting rose,
Each petal slowly dies.

There are not many petals left
As I cry my tears of pain,
They keep on streaming down
Like the falling rain.

Your eyes always look in mine
Your laugh fills my ears,
Your love for me is in 'God's way'
My love for you turns to tears

Knowing you'll never be there
Is something I cannot face,
Your arms will never wrap around me
I'll never feel your soft embrace

Your lips will never meet mine
In a very passionate kiss,
We'll never be together now
I'll never be in bliss

I have everything else I need
So why can't I let you go?,
The truth is without your love
My eyes can never glow

My only wish is you'd stay happy
I won't worry any longer,
I'll go on crying all by myself
The pain just growing stronger

My Dream....

Yesterday night I had a dream
I wish that it was true
It's still there in my mind
As if its stuck with glue.

I was dressed up like a groom
Ready to steal a heart
To make a lady as my own
And play the husband's part.

A taxedo I was wearing
With a smart looking bow
With dreams bundled with me
I was ready for the show.

I never knew the bride till now
A complete mystery to me
It made me uneasy and anxious to know
Of, who she just might be.

At this point it must be midnight
My breathing rose and fell
I must have turned my self in bed
I truly cannot tell.

Anyway, I came to the church
The bells were ringing loud
And all this royal feeling
Just made me feel so proud.

Standing far was a lady
With her flowing wedding gown
'Oh, Shit I still can't see her face'
My mind said with a frown.

I started walking towards her
Her face it became clear
And to my utter astonishment
It belonged to you, my dear.

My heart was beating like a drum
It ran faster than a clock
My breath, it whistled like a horn
As a ship that leaves the dock.

Its still early morning, now
And, I'm very fast asleep
I'm still nurturing this dream of mine
Into an abyss so deep.

I was thanking the very good lord
For surprising me this way
I would never forget what happen
On this very special day.

After the wedding was over
I was asked to kiss the bride
I bought my lips to your charming face
With some chest swelling pride.

At this very moment
I was thrown out of my dream
It was like eating a wedding cake
Without any cream.

If God were now to ask me
What is it, you want in life
'I want that girl, in my dream last night'
'I want her as my wife.......'

As you lay me down to sleep
kiss my lips then let me speak
I'll hold my breath and hope you hear
All the things that cause my tears.

I'll cry for a life we'll never know
A love we share so hard to show
The love I want to give to you
A hug, a sigh, a kiss or two.

A touch of love through the night
Safe in your arms waking in the light
To know your thoughts, to hear you call
To be together without the wall.

Let it down, let me in
Is to love like this such a sin
I feel the wall is up for good
But no worries...Its..Understood.

I'll be content to stay like this
A bashful glance, an imaginary kiss
I'll erase my thoughts, have no fear
I love you always..my love...my dear.

Do not cry my lady
Your sadness I cannot bear,
The tears streaming down your eyes
My heart just seems to tear.

Do not cry my lady
I wish I was close to you,
To wipe away your salty tears
And start a life anew.

Do not cry my lady
I can't bear to see your tears,
I makes me feel uneasy
And gives me all the fears.

Do not cry my lady
The end is not yet near,
The future holds a lot for us
And we have nothing to fear.

Do not cry my lady
Our dreams may someday be true,
We'll live our lives together
You for me and me for you.

Do not cry my lady
In our own world we will live,
This much I'm sure of
That the lord will always give.

Do not cry my lady
With you I'm always there,
I bear the burdens of this world
And I truly care.

Do not cry my lady
Don't care what people say,
They always keep babbing shit
And they'll repent for it, someday.

Do not cry my lady
I always want you to smile,
I'll be with you someday, my love
And we'll live our lives in style.

Do not cry my lady
I want you to write to me,
'I will never ever cry again'
A promise I want from thee........

To a loved one.

As this is the first of the month,
And I am all alone,
I thought I'd try to draw me near
To thee, my dear, my own.

Yes, I'm alone, and don't you know
I do not like to speak,
Yet I will, as is fitting now,
My wanted silence break.

There is a love that in my soul
Burns silent and alone,
It kindles flames around my heart,
You know that heart's your own.

The dearest idol I have known
Is my dear Lord above,
The next one which I long to own
Is you, my precious love.

I call myself both chaste and pure,
And free from passions low,
Hence I know what I say is true,
For conscience says it so.

Thy sweet face I treasure indeed,
So modest and so kind,
Its presence I forever need,
May I call that face mine?

I've never written such a poem
To a mortal girl before,
Because I've never loved a woman
As the one I now adore.

As I review my past year's work,
Some things I've left undone,
And yet I feel that I have gained,
If your confidence I've won.

I hope that I have not done anything
To bring thee any pain,
For all I've done was done in love,
Dear, is my love in vain?

Throughout the year of ninety
If lovers still we be,
Let's have that love that warms both hearts
And let our minds be free.

Go whisper to her gentle winds,
While you are passing by,
The mighty secret of my heart,
The burden of my sigh.

Take to her from this blushing rose,
Such sweets of scented air,
As are befitting for a queen,
And one divinely fair.

And from this lily of the vale,
Take her who is to me,
The emblem of all that is good,
And sweetest purity.

The violets of azure eyes,
Which ever sweets impart,
Take her their gentle modesty,
So like her guileless heart.

Take all the sweets which you can find
Along your airy way,
To her whose face and daily life
Are like the month of May.

Blow softly on her lovely brow,
And give her lips a kiss,
The thing were I to do, O winds,
Would count a wondrous bliss.

She does not know my secret flame,
But what is that to you?
Oh winds, but take her from my heart,
Its mighty love and true.

The golden-rod was flaming bright,
The autumn day was fine,
The air was soft and scented with
The purple muscadine.

We travelled far a wooded path,
The sky was bright above
And all things seemed to smile and breathe
A blessing on our love.

O! sweet and dreamy was that face,
Such tenderness expressed
In every line, and born to be,
Love burdened and caressed.

So happy in my happiness
I could not think it then,
That after parting on that day
We should not meet again.

For hope is ever found with love,
And there were visions fair
For us of boundless happiness
In that sweet autumn air.

But many years of shifting scenes,
Have come and gone since then,
And those dear, tender, dreamy eyes
I have not seen again.

And once I thought with bitterness,
My God, forgive the sin
My barren life and hapless love
Would better not have been.

But looking back through all my years
Of weariness and pain,
I know that tender, dreamy face
I did not love in vain.

The lengthening days and months and years
Have brightened on my way
By living on in memory
One long past autumn day.

And late a faith has come to me,
I think it God has willed,
That all those autumn promises
Are yet to be fulfilled.

For I believe with all my heart,
The time I know not when,
With hearts still true, my love and I
Shall somewhere meet again.

In the garden I sit idlly by
Looking at a bright blue sky
A bird flys carrying on it's wings,
All the songs I long to sing.

A cricket chirps to itself all day
All the words I long to say
The colors of the flowers true,
All I long to reveal to you.

The stream flows by with gentle care
The things I think of when I stare
The trees stand tall, large and strong,
I could never stand that long.

I smile whenever I recall
The special moments we have had
Walking always hand in hand,
Through the good times and the bad.

Sometimes, I think it is a dream
The love you give me could not be,
But then when you are in my arms
There's no mistake in its purity.

Whether I'm with you or far away,
My thoughts are always drawn to you
Like a compass needle pointing North,
To a love much more than true.

Of all the people on this Earth
How lucky can a person be
To have found the likes of you, my love,
With whom to share eternity!

I was strolling in the park one day
A flower stood with a sexy pose,
I knew by looking at it from far,
It was none other than, the beautiful rose.

I will hide my soul and its mighty love
In the bosom of this rose,
And its dispensing breath will take,
My love where'er it goes.

And perhaps she'll pluck this very rose,
And quick as blushes start,
Will breathe my hidden secret in,
Her unsuspecting heart.

I will let my love capture her soul
And make her feel mine,
I know she has a soft part there,
Where my love will surely shine.

And there I will live in her embrace
And drown in her sweetness there,
Living with an ecstasy unknown,
Of a bliss beyond compare.

I sat me down at twilight,
When the even sun was low,
And his rays still bright, cast a golden light,
As the day was dying slow.

All things seemed weary and silent,
Save where the beetle flew,
And the dreary wind, with a sad, sad din,
Bid the dying day adieu.

I gazed on the buds and leaflets,
All coated with sweet summer dew,
And the bright golden west, brought a sigh to my breast,
And the thoughts of a dear one I knew.

For many an eve among blossom and leaves,
In the sweet happy moments of bliss,
When the west sun was low, and the breeeze it did blow,
In the calm hour of twilight like this.

We had gazed on the sun at the closing of day,
As we sat in the midst of June,
In a restful repose, midst flower and rose,
Alas! came her twilight too soon.

Right now I am here, sitting all alone,
Thinking about the day gone by,
The fun that we had, was never so bad,
All I can do now is cry.

I wish I had a beach house
Just across the sea,
The sound of waves, echoing in caves,
And nobody but you and me.

I wish I had a sexy yatch
We would go on a major trip,
Through the waves we'd sail, through the wind and the gale,
To a wonderful Caribbean strip.

With garlands around our necks
We would dance to the tribal tune,
The tribals would sing, songs ment for a king,
Maybe its the month of June.

It was a wonderful sight
A beautiful place with you in my arms,
We have nothing to fear, no troubles are near,
Lets just be lost in our charms.

We eat of the fruit of the trees
Its better that fish and curry,
Its what God had in mind, when he created mankind,
We can eat all we want without worry.

Its time to sail back home now
I think for a second or two,
With so much of fun, in this bright shining sun,
This happiness is ment for few.

I have never held my beloved
And said to her, 'I love thee',
I've never made the time, to tell her she's mine
I've never seen her dance with glee.

So why not live on this Caribbean paradise
And forget all our worries and fears,
I'll hold you real tight, throughout the night,
Whispering, 'Will you marry me ?', with tears.

Excuse me, God,
I didn't see you there,
To my nearsighted eyes
you looked like air.

You cleared your throat
with jarring thunderbolt,
but I heard nothing deep,
just felt a jolt.

I built my house
with quite a clever plan,
but didn't see the sign
that said, 'God's land.'

I walked through woods
and thought the cool smell
was only natural,
from trees that fell.

I thought it strange,
the orange western stain;
I thought it nice that clouds
Wrung out their rain.

I saw the stars
through a shallow telescope,
and saw eternity
as just a hope.

I meant no harm, God
I had my glasses off,
so next time, if I'm near,
please cough.

How are you this morning, my love
I hope you did sleep good
I dreamt of you last night, my love
Of being in a very good mood.

How are you this morning, my love
I hope your mood is great
I have a few things, to tell you, my love
I think I should say it straight.

How are you this morning, my love
The weather it looks fine
I keep thinking a single question, my love
Will you ever be mine.

How are you this morning, my love
The lord only knows it all
Maybe someday we'll be together, my love
And we'll really have a ball.

How are you this morning, my love
The wish the day comes soon
They say its gonna all end in 2000, my love
Can't really tell by looking at the moon.

How are you this morning, my love
I hope this day goes by fast
I'll be waiting for your call tonight, my love
I know it won't be the last.......

Its late at night
I'm sitting with this pen,
Writing poems for my lady
Writing poems for my friend.

I can't think of anything
A gruesome day I had,
My moods were real clumsy
Even the weather it was bad.

I had gone for a picnic
Far from where I stay,
To have some fun with my collegues
And to spend my entire day.

The place it was a beauty
With a large playfull crowd,
But my moods, they were not jolly
My mind was in a shroud.

I saw couples walking hand-in-hand
Even Romeo and Juliet would shy,
Pondering alone under the goddamn trees
All I could do was cry.

I was thinking about my beloved
Why God, to me is unfair,
Coming to this beautiful paradise
Just to hold on to this chair.

They say all have their chances
Its cupids fault I say,
If only his aim were straighter
I would've had a better day.

This paradise feels incomplete
Without my lady love,
I wonder, what cupids doing now
Hope he's not milking a cow.

I wish he did his work often
On poor souls like me,
I've even grown a long beard
And, I'm ready to pay a fee.

I guess he's out of arrows
An excuse so he can tell,
'If you're so anxious to fall in love,'
'Why don't you go to hell !!'

I wish I could catch this cupid
Slap him six or seven in the hind,
Set all my anger loose on him
'nd give him a piece of my mind.

Even as I think of this
I'm still sitting in this chair,
Watching couples walk by hand-in-hand
As if they don't really care........

I'll tell you about the queen
Who dwells into my heart,
She's taken over my senses
And she's never gonna part.

Her hair is like a flowing river
So smooth and soft as silk,
Her complexion is even better
Than the color of the purest milk.

Her nose is so much perfect
With a delicate little touch,
Its hard to imagine a structure
Which you'll like so much.

Her cheeks they always blush
With the colors of the rose,
Pinkish red with a touch of cream
Hope, its the right color I chose.

Her lips are full and sweet
The color of red red wine,
Don't even think of kissing them
They are nobody's but mine.

Her chin is so sexy
It gives the finishing touch,
Even Michealangelo with his artistic touch
Could not have done this much.

None of this matters to me
Her soul I like the most,
Her love for me, is what I adore
To this I'll raise a toast.

I have heard the song birds singing
I have heard the cuckoos call,
The sound of sweet charming music
On my ears they gently fall.

I have heard the red breast robin
And the cooing of the dove,
I've been charmed by inspiration
Now my heart it melts with love.

Yes, the cuckoo's call reminds me
Of a voice, full well I know,
And the warm winds blowing gently
Drift my thoughts to long ago.

And the rippling brook reminds me
Of her laughter all the while,
And the bright and golden sunlight
Of her sweet angelic smile.

It is love that now possess me
And my heart for one does yearn,
I have loved thee true dear lady
Do ya love me in return?

Wish I was a Tarzan
You my beloved Jane,
We'd live in a deepest jungle house
Don't think I am insane.

We'd live a life so peaceful
Away from all these pains,
In a cottage built for only two
To protect us from the rains.

We'd sit under the huge big trees
And idle away our time,
Don't have to worry about anything
The jungle has zero crime.

On fruits and nuts which nature gives
We'd live throughout our lives,
Doing nothin' but caring for each other
And looking in each other's eyes.

We'd bathe in the coolest springs
That meet the rivers and the seas,
We'd swim like fish in the waters alive
Amongst the wild ducks and the geese.

We would yell and shout
We would just not care,
There's no one to object
There's no one to dare.

With the skies above
And the grass below,
We would count the stars
As the night comes slow.

In each other's arms
We would fall asleep,
Till the morning comes
In this jungle so so deep.

I love a lady
I don't know why,
It all just happened
In a blink of an eye.

I'd love her tender
Always be true,
For without her
I'd feel so blue.

I flip each time
I hear her voice,
Of all the others
She is my choice.

To see her smile
Gives me the thrill,
For her my heart
With love I fill.

I'd die for her
Give up my all,
To see her happy
On my knee's I'd fall.

I'd hold her tight
In my arms at night,
To win her love
An army I'd fight.

I wish she knew
How much I care,
I wish she'd look
And gimme a stare.

Someday I'll say
To this lady divine
'I love you so'
'Will you be mine'

Of the furthest star, of the coffee bar
Of the length of the China wall,
Of the village green and the asian scene
Yours is the greatest love of all.

Of the sweetest flower and the fastest car
Of the width of the greatest sea,
Of the bluest sky and the towers so high
You are the greatest love for me.

Of the brightest sun and the fastest gun
Of the deepest canyon I've seen,
Of the coolest spring and a happy grin
Its the happiest I've ever been.

Of the deepest space, of this human race
Of the vast galaxies we know,
Of the venus so bright, in the darkest night
My love will always grow.

Of the highest hill and the strongest will
Of the greatest king of kings,
Of the sweetest wine and the smell of pine
You're the power of my wings.

Of the longest day, of the crowded freeway
Of the height of the Eiffel tower,
Of the wind so strong and the temple gong
Your love is like a flower.

Of the worst of tears and few chilled beers
Of the people who happily live,
Of the cooing of doves and the mooing of cows
My heart full of love I'll give....

I was in office working
When at home your call came,
Bad I felt when I heard it
This damn work takes the blame.

I felt I had missed it all
An encounter with a queen,
I feel the pits now
And I can't change the scene.

I could'nt sleep all night
Tossing and turning in bed,
With tears on my pillow
And thoughts in my head.

I wish I had that instinct
To predicted your call, dear
I would'nt be so uneasy
If you were right now near.

I await to hear your voice
Every night and every day,
My heart says it all
There is nothin' more to say.

Even though you're far away
You're voice echos in my mind,
I get that soothing feeling
And I leave this world behind.

Well, somethin's just don't rhyme
And the fire it never dies,
It burns more by the minute
And it brings tears to your eyes.

Someday we'll be together
Just you and me alone,
No time and call and all that shit
Not even this damn telephone.

And then we'll talk and talk
Of every subject we know,
And the love we have between us
By a three fold it will grow.

I live with this good feeling
Day in and day out,
That someday you will be mine
I have very little doubt.....

I wish I had an oil lamp
With a real genie inside,
And all that I would wish for
Happily he would abide.

I'd wish to be a prince
Of a kingdom real vast,
With people as the extras
And ministers as the cast.

I'd wish to be a tiger
Rule the jungle with my roar,
Scare the shit out of everyone
And tell them what's in store.

I'd wish to be a bird
Flying high over the hills,
Free to do as I wish
And free to do my wills.

I'd wish to be a baby
And sleep in someone's arms,
Win the hearts and kisses of all
With my sweet looking charms.

I'd wish to have a penthouse
With a view of the city around,
It'd feel so much different
To be a few feet from the ground.

I'd wish to be a teddybear
So soft and cuddly I'd be,
The lonely would hold me tight
And I wish the lonely to be a she.

I'd wish to be an artist
I would draw what's on my mind,
The thoughts that I could never tell
In pictures people would find.

I'd wish to be a thief
And steal some lady's heart,
I'd rob just only once
And a new life I'd start.

I'd wish my love was near
So I would'nt be all alone,
I've always missed a companion
Through all the years I've grown.

I'd wish I had really wished
A wish that just made sense,
Am utterly confused and tired now
With sleep my mind is dense.

I'd wish to be left alone
With my beloved lady dear,
There's nothing more to wish for
Except a few pitchers of beer....

I had a dream of my love last night,
When the moon was low and the stars shone bright.
I saw as it seemed, a halo of white,
Encircled a swart damsel fair.

Her voice was so clear and sweet did she sing,
Her fingers danced over each golden string.
As she sang to the time of Cupid's bright dart,
And each note seemed to pierce through my heart.

Her teeth were as white as the snow flakes that fall,
Her delicate form was graceful and tall.
Her vesture was purple and curled was her hair,
So sweet was her music that echoed in the air.

Though she stood in the distance, plain my eyes could behold,
Her jewels of sapphire, of rubies, and of gold.
So gently and sweet did her tender voice flow,
Her music was sweet, and her music was low.

She sang with that ease and melodious grace,
Belonging to none but our Ethiopian race.
And her dark eyes shone bright,
With a sweet, calm, delight.

I asked for the song, at the sweet, closing strain,
She smiled with a bow and sang it again.
So sweet and so soothing her love-song did sound,
And sweeter the notes reechoed around.

I looked on the beauty her form did embrace,
That angelic smile, on her fair lovely face.
With courage I asked for her heart and her hand,
Embarassed, she fled to a far away land.

Let me tell you about
The woman of my dreams,
The lady who rules my heart and soul
The best of all the creams.

She's got that wonderful glow
Only my eyes can see,
You have to fall in love with her
To understand this mystery.

She's got that sensual walk
Which has stopped many a throbbing hearts,
You can feel the pain inside
As if hit by a coupla darts.

She's got that long hair
Gives her the looks of a queen,
With eyes that look like rubies
Its a beauty to be seen.

She's got that skillful grace
Of a model on a catwalk,
The swaying hips and those graceful steps
All thoughts in your mind they block.

She's got those longish legs
That never seem to end,
Hope you're not getting the wrong feeling
How you look it all depends.

She's got that tender look
That you always long to find,
You may search this whole world over
But you'll never find this kind.

She's got a way of kissing
In the day time you see stars,
The Moon looks like the Sun
And Jupiter looks like Mars.

She's nobody's but mine
In my dreams she makes me feel,
She's mine she's proved to me
In a letter with a seal.....

I sat beneath a willow tree
Where water falls and calls,
While thoughts upon thoughts keep buggin' me,
Some true, and some were false.

A singing lark rose toward the sky
Circling he sang amain,
He look so scarce in the visible sky
And then he sank again.

A second like a sunlit spark
Flashed singing up his track,
But never overtook that foremost lark,
And songless fluttered back.

A hovering melody of birds
Haunted the air above,
They clearly sang contentment without words,
And youth and joy and love.

O silvery weeping willow tree
With all leaves shivering,
Have you no purpose but to shadow me
Beside this rippled spring?

On this first fleeting day of Spring,
For Winter is gone by,
And every bird on every quivering wing
Floats in a sunny sky.

On this first Summer like soft day
While sunshine steeps the air,
And every cloud has got away,
And birds sing everywhere.

Have you no purpose in the world
But only to shadow me
With all your tender drooping twigs unfurled,
O weeping willow tree?

With all your tremulous leaves outspread
Between me and the sun,
While here I loiter on a mossy bed
With half my work undone.

My work undone, that should be done
At once with all my might,
For after the long day and lingering sun
Comes the unworking night.

This day is lapsing on its way
Is lapsing out of sight,
And after all the chances of this day
Comes the resourceless night.

The weeping willow shook its head
And cast its shadow long,
The west grew crimson with the bright red sun
The birds stopped all their song.

Slow wind sighed through the willow leaves
The ripple made a moan,
The world drooped murmuring like a thing that grieves
And then I felt alone.

I rose to go, and felt the chill
And shivered as I went,
Yet shivering wondered, and I wonder still,
What more that willow meant.

That silvery weeping willow tree
With all leaves shivering,
Which spent one long day overshadowing me
Beside a spring in Spring.......

Nothing to do but work,
Nothing to eat but food,
Nothing to wear but clothes,
To keep one from going nude.

Nothing to breathe but air,
Quick as a flash it's gone,
Nowhere to fall but off,
Nowhere to stand but on.

Nothing to comb but hair,
Nowhere to sleep but in bed,
Nothing to weep but tears,
Nothing to bury but the dead.

Nothing to sing but songs,
Ah, well, alas! alack!
Nowhere to go but out,
Nowhere to come but back.

Nothing to see but sights,
Nothing to quench but thirst,
Nothing to have but what we've got,
Thus through life we are cursed.

Nothing to strike but a match,
Everything moves that goes,
Nothing at all but common sense,
Can ever withstand all these woes.

Into the sunshine
Full of the light,
Leaping and flashing
From morning till night.

Into the moonlight
Whiter than snow,
Waving so flower-like
When the warm winds blow.

Into the starlight
Rushing in spray,
Happy at midnight,
Happy by day!

Ever in motion,
Tiresome and cheery,
Still climbing heavenward,
Never weary.

Glad of all weathers
Still seeming best,
Upward or downward,
Without any rest.

Full of a nature
Nothing can tame,
Changed every moment
Never the same.

Ceaseless aspiring
Ceaseless content,
Darkness or sunshine
Every element.

Ever loving and caring
Let my heart be,
Fresh, cheerful, constant,
My lady, like thee!

No words are spoken,
No feelings shown,
No dams are broken,
No love is known.

Head hanging down,
Eyes shut tight,
My smile, a frown,
I hide from the light.

Mostly alone,
Though I know not why,
Perhaps by free choice,
Perhaps I'm just shy.

An occasional glance,
For a second or two,
I wish for a chance,
To make a break through.

Just a few words,
That were on my mind,
Whatever you are my love,
You I'll surely find.

Every bird, every tree
Helps me know, helps me see
Helps me feel, you are love
And love's around.

For each river painted blue
To the early morning dew
This is love, you are love
Love's around.

Every sigh, every song
Makes me feel, I belong
To a world filled with love
That's all around.

From each day break, to the night
Out of darkness, comes the light
This is love, you are love
Love's around.

Every mountain, every stream
Every flower, every dream
I can feel, you are love
And love's around.

From the ever changing sky
To a new born babies cry
This is love, you are love
Love's around.

Every leaf, every tree
Makes me know, makes me see
That this world, is just meant
For you and me.

From the waves in the sea
To the honey made by bees
This is love, you are love
Love's around.

Every smile, every tear
Makes me feel, you are near
In this flood I'm drowned
Upto my ear.

For each joy that is there
I know you really care
This is love, you are love
Love's around......

Whenever I view those lips of thine
Their hue invites my fervent kiss,
Yet, I forego that bliss divine
I wish it were that lucky bliss.

Whenever I dream of that pure breast
How could I dwell upon its snows,
Yet, is the daring wish request
For that, would banish its repose.

A glance from thy soul-searching eye
Can raise with hope, depress with fear,
Yet, I conceal my love, I know not why
I would not force a painful tear.

I never have told my love, yet thou
Has seen my burning flame too well,
And shall I plead my passion now
To make thy bosom's heaven a hell.

No! for you never can be mine
United by the priest's decree,
By any ties but those divine
Mine, my beloved, thou never shall be.

Then let the secret fire consume
Let it consume, thou shall not know,
With joy I court a certain doom,
Rather than spread its guilty glow.

I will not ease my tortured heart
By driving the lovely peace from thine,
Rather than such a sting impart,
Each thought in my mind I resign.

Yes! yield those lips, for which I'd brave
More than I shall dare to tell,
Thy innocence and mine to save
I bid thee now a last farewell......

It feels so good
To be finally here,
Its time to celebrate
With a few pitchers of beer.

Now that I'm so close
We'll have a good time,
I now surely feel
Loneliness is worth a dime.

I wanna be with thee
And talk and talk,
Maybe hold your soft hand
And go for a walk.

I've waited for this moment
Have even lost my sleep,
I'll always cherish, these memories
In my heart's, compartment I'll keep.

I've never wanted more
To be with anyone but you,
I've never said it to anyone
You'll soon see its true.

We have a lot in common
I know from deep within,
You will always be my queen
When I am the king.

So let's meet this evening
And have a great ball,
You know I can't say it
But my mind says it all.

Thought I'll have a good time
But my dreams never come true,
All because of an ancient creature
Who screwed the contents of the brew.

Don't know what's the problem
He has in his life,
Maybe he's never had the joys
Of being screwed by his wife.

Lets not talk about him
And waste our time,
We're only going to screw our happiness
And its not worth a dime.

We'll have a good time
No matter what it takes,
We'll ignore this world and its people
And all the bull-talk it makes.

Well I can't think more
So I'll end this sonnet,
See ya for the coffee break, girl
With my Chassis, Dickey and Bonnet.

This world is a peculiar place
Its really hard to live,
You recieve very less here
And more you have to give.

Man, I am so fuckin' tired
To live in this world this way,
I hope there will be happiness
In this stale world someday.

Now, I'll tell you a little secret
I've never uncovered before,
After you know this little bit
You'll wanna hear some more.

I've met this wonderful woman
I feel a luck man,
I secretly admire her whole self
Every single second I can.

It's not her beauty that interests me
But here whole inner self,
My soul is held by a powerful hand
Makes me feel like an elf.

Even though I cannot hold her
In these anxious arms of mine,
This world still seems a better place
And everything seems fine.

I know I'll never be the same
This world don't matter no more,
I'll live with this dream of mine
This feelin' I'll always encore.

I will not ask for anymore
The lord knows what I need,
Someday, Somehow, Somewhere
My inner feelin's he will heed.

And then I will cry
I will shout with utter joy,
My wishes have been fulfilled
The wishes of a lonely boy......

Hey, this woman
Confuses me a lot,
I'll have to try harder
Give everythin' I've got.

I guess I'm to blame
Cause I can't tell her,
She's everythin' to me
Gold, frankinsis and myrrh.

Oh, how can I tell her
There's gotta be a way,
I can't live like a moron
In this world everyday.

I wish she could read
The thoughts in my mind,
It would mean a big relief
And the answer she would find.

I wish we could spend
More time together,
Speak just about anything
Maybe even the weather.

I know in time we will
I have this crazy feeling,
Sooner or later, but soon
Her heart I'll be stealing.

When she least expects
I'll make my move,
Catch her totally unawares
And get her in the groove.

And then I'll stop scratching
This stupid head of mine,
I'll live happily ever after
Even give up drinking wine....

Wow, I can see stars
Me heart's pounding in my chest,
The evening we had yesterday
Was probably my best.

Walking hand in hand
With people staring at us,
It was great fun
Without any fuss.

The warmth of your hand
Still I can feel,
With you by my side
Any storm I can deal.

I had never in my life
Thought I would hold,
A lady's hand in mine
Did'nt think I was bold.

I still can't say to her
I want her to be mine,
I'll hold her and kiss her
Till the very end of time.

One day I'll kiss her
Those rosy lips divine,
They'll be more sweeter
Than the sweetest reddest wine.

On a cool moonlight night
We'll walk hand in hand,
With you by my side
In a far away land.

We'll spend our entire time
Holding each other tight,
Throughout the hot sweaty day
Till the beginning of night.

Then with stars as our guide
And sand under our feet,
We'll dance 'the Blue Danube'
With the waves providing the beat......

I hope you're not mad
I did'nt write much yesterday
Guess I'm mad at myself
For it all today...

How could I not write
To a lovely lady like you,
Whose sweet looking face
Reminds of honey dew.

I'm sorry my honey pie
My loving teddy bear,
I'll hold you real tight
And go with you anywhere.

When I see you everyday
My heart pounds in my chest,
I have met few in this world
Amongst them you're the best.

To be what I am
I need you by my side,
I will not worry myself
About what's on the other side.

You are to me
What flowers are to trees,
The sweet fragrance they give
To the early morning breeze.

The skies are clear
The birds are singing,
Sun's raising in the east
Great joy it is bringing.

Here I am standing
Breathing in the sweet air,
With thoughts going in my mind
Of my lovely lady so fair.

On a branch of a tree
Robins build their nest,
I wonder how they know
Which branch is the best.

Far over the horizon
I see a better tomorrow,
For me and my lovely lady
Love filled in a wheel barrow.

I can hear voices
That tell me I'm right,
This dream I always had
Just seems to get bright.

To work and live long
With my lady by my side,
All her sweetest wishes
I would humbly abide.

She is my precious jewel
More valued than my life,
Oh, what I would give
To make her my wife.

I guess its a pipe dream
Which may never be real
There might not be another woman
Whose heart I could steal....

My mind is thinking
As the train leaves,
You will be far away
And my heart weeps.

I wish you were here
To wipe away my tears,
Guess I'm not the luck one
The pain it just sears.

Your gentle it is lost
How much I'm gonna miss,
How much longer to wait
For that sweet loving kiss.

My mind it is lost
I can see no way,
I guess I'll be thinking
Every night and every day.

The fragrance of your hair
The innocense in your eyes,
Made it so hard for me
To say all the goodbyes.

But there is still hope
Something I can hold on,
When I'll be back someday
All sorrow will be gone.

The leaves are fading and falling
The winds are rough and wild,
The birds have ceased their calling
But let me tell you, my child.

Though day by day, as it closes
Both darker and colder grow,
The roots of the bright red roses
Will keep alive in the snow.

And when the Winter is over
The boughs will get new leaves,
The quail come back to the clover
And the swallow back to the eaves.

The robin will wear on his bosom
A vest that is bright and new,
And the loveliest wayside blossom
Will shine with the sun and dew.

The leaves today are whirling
The brooks are dry and dumb,
But let me tell you, my darling
The Spring will be sure to come.

There must be rough, cold weather
And winds and rains so wild,
Not all good things together
Come to us here, my child.

So, when some dear joy loses
Its beauteous summer glow,
Think how the roots of the roses
Are kept alive in the snow........

I'd do anything for you, my love
No matter the discomfort, in spite of the strain,
I would run the disposal for you
With nothing in the drain.

For you I would do anything,
Forgetting all the cost,
For you I'd clean my teeth, sweetheart
With unwaxed floss.

Because I love you deeply
I'd do things beyond all ken,
Why, I'd fill out carbons, honey
With a mushy Pilot pen.

It's true you hold me, darling
In the center of your hand,
That's why I'd even farm onions and potatoes
In a far away land.

My love abides so deep, dear
There'll be no riding fences,
For you I'd sleep each nighttime through
In daily-wear contact lenses.

And if that's not enough for you,
I'll show all efforts up,
I'll drink the best espresso coffee
From a styrofoam cup........

I want my arms all full of you
happy warm soft
Just for a moment or two
no undertones
just a little innocent pleasure
to say hello, good-bye, and so many other things
that words cannot say.

Just a small squeeze
my arms full of yours,
my nose full of the smell of your hair
my eyes full of saltwater.

Just a small, innocent hug
nothing more
at one point, seemingly long ago
it would have meant much more to me
but not now, that part of me is gone
and I just want your friendship
and a good hug.

Babies are like angels, we dream
Even though they don't have wings,
Pure in heart and little minds
A joy to one it brings.

They always know what's on our minds
Even though they cannot speak,
Howling and screamin' they know the best
When their diapers spring a leak.

The smiles they have on their chubby face
The word, 'worry' ain't in their list,
With an open mind, you look real hard
You'll find the world in their fist.

With dimpled chins and rosy cheeks
And a toothless loving smile,
They can make many a pompous men
Run a hundred mile.

They have that soft body
Remind me of freshly mixed clay,
You can mould and squeeze them as you wish
Believe me, its lovely when they play.

They mumble and grumble all day long
Its the ways that babies talk,
They look even more funnier
When they try their best to walk.

With a cry of triumph and infinate joy
They love to pull your hair,
That's why they give all babies
The hairy soft teddy bear.

With their tummies full they fall asleep
I wonder what they dream,
Probably a land where everything seen
Is made of chocolate and cream.

Sometime we were all babies
Liked by people all around,
We've lost all innocence and tenderness
Material things in this world we have found.....

Upon a gloomy night
With all my cares to loving flushed,
With nobody in sight
I went abroad when all my house was hushed.

In safety, in disguise
In darkness up the secret stair I crept,
Concealed from other eyes
When all my house in silence slept.

Upon that lucky night
In secrecy, I went without discerning,
And with no other light
Except for that in my heart was burning.

It lit and led me through
More certain than the light of noonday clear,
To whose presence well I knew
Where no other presence might appear.

Oh night that was my guide
Oh darkness dearer than the morning's pride,
Oh night that joined the lover
To his beloved bride.

Within her flowering breast
Which only for myself entire she save,
I sank into her beckoning rest
And all my gifts I gave.

Lost to myself I stayed
My face upon my lover having laid,
All worries ceasing, and all my cares releasing
I threw them amongst the lilies there to fade.

Sitting by the sea side
I watched the evening sun set,
The day is over for today
Lonely night to beget.

I can see the little children
Making castles in the sand,
They're gonna play, kings and knights
From a far away land.

Lovers walk close together
Cooing to each others delight,
Deaf to the world around them
Discussing plans for their plight.

I grope the silky sand
How many grains would I find,
A thousand, lakh, million grains
Far more than mankind.

Far across the dark horizon
The rising Venus shines so bright,
It's not what you think it is
Even though it gives out light.

I look up to the heavens
And see the endless stars,
What would all these people do?
If we were invaded from mars.

The waves lash the empty shore
Shells scattered here and there,
They gleam in the snowy moonlight
Like a virgin damsel so fair.

I think of my loved beloved
So near but far away,
Something in my mind tells me
I'll be with her someday.

The breeze brings me a message
I know, what it says is true,
The thoughts in my beloved's mind
Whispering, 'I truly love you'.

I ponder over the day gone by
And all the things I did,
Will the day ever come again
To be once more a kid.

Slowly, I walk back home
Satisfied and a happy man,
I know, I'm living this life of mine
As best as I can.......

I wish you were a pleasant wren
And I your small accepted mate,
How we'd look down on toilsome men
We'd rise and go to bed at eight,
Instead of staying quite so late.

Then you'd see the nest I'd build
The wondrous nest for you and me,
The outside rough perhaps, but filled
With wool and cotton, you'd see,
The coziest nest that it would be.

We'd have our change of hope and fear
Small quarrels, reconcilements sweet,
I'd perch by you to chirp and cheer
Or hop about on active feet,
And fetch you dainty bits to eat.

We'd be so happy by the day
So safe and happy through the night,
We both should feel, and I should say
It's all a season of delight,
To make merry in daylight.

Perhaps some day there'd be an egg
When spring had blossomed from the snow,
I'd stand triumphant on one leg
Like a proud rooster I'd almost crow,
To let our little neighbors know.

Next you'd sit and I would sing
Through lengthening days of sunny spring,
Till, if you wearied of the task
I'd sit and you'd spread your wing,
From bough to bough, I'd sit and bask.

Fancy the breaking of the shell
The chirp, the chickens wet and bare,
The untried proud paternal swell
And you with housewife-matron air,
Enacting choicer bills of fare.

Fancy the embryo coats of down
The gradual feathers soft and sleek,
Till clothed and strong from tail to crown
With virgin warblings in their beak,
They too go forth to soar and seek.

So would it last an April goes
And early summer fresh with dew,
Then should we part and live as god knows,
Love-time would bring me back anew
And build a happy nest, just for you.

There is a mystic thread of life
So dearly wound with mine alone,
That destiny's relentless surging knife
At once must sever both, or none.

There is a form on which these eyes
Have fondly gazed with such delight,
By day, that form her joy supplies
And dreams restore it, through the night.

There is a voice whose tones inspire
Such softened feelings in my breast,
I would not hear the Vatican Choir
Unless that voice could join the rest.

There is a face whose blushes tell
Affection's tale upon the cheek,
But pale at our fond farewell
Proclaims more love than words can speak.

There is a lip, which mine has felt
But none had ever felt before,
It vowed to make me sweetly smelt
That mine alone should feel it more.

There is a bosom all my own
Has pillow'd off this aching head,
A mouth which smiles on me alone
An eye, whose tears with mine are shed.

There are two hearts whose movements thrill
In unison so closely sweet,
That pulse to pulse responsive still
They both must heave, or cease to beat.

There are two souls, whose equal flow
In gentle stream so calmly run,
That when they part oh, no
They cannot part those souls are one.

My mind to me a kingdom is
Such pleasent joys therein I find,
That it excels all other bliss
That earth affords or grows by kind.

Though much I want which most would have,
Yet still my mind forbids to crave.

No princely life, no wealth in store
No force for which to die,
No wily wit to treat a sore
No shape to feed a loving eye.

To none of these I yield as thrall
For why? My mind can serve for all.

I see how plenty excess oft
And hasty climbers soon do fall,
I see that those which are aloft
Mishap would threaten most of all.

They get with toil, they keep with fear,
Such cares my mind could never bear.

Content to live, this is my stay
I seek no more than may suffice,
I press to bear no lordly sway
Look, what I lack my mind supplies.

And, thus I triumph like a king,
Content with that, my mind can bring.

Some have too much, yet still do crave
I little have, and seek no more,
They are but poor, though much they have
And I am rich with little in store.

They're poor, I rich, they beg, I give,
They lack, I leave, they grieve, I live.

I laugh not at another's loss
I grudge not at another's pain,
No worldly waves my mind can toss
My state at one will still remain.

I fear no foe, I fawn no friend,
I hate not life, nor dread my end.

Some weigh their pleasure by their lust
Their wisdom by their rage of will,
Their treasure is their only trust
A cloaked craft their store of skill.

But all the pleasure that I find,
Is to maintain a quiet mind.

My wealth is health and perfect ease
My conscience clear my chief defense,
I neither seek by bribes to please
Nor by trick to breed offense.

Thus do I live, thus will I die,
Would all did so as well as I

We'd build a little bungalow
If you and I were one,
And carefully we'd plan it so
We'd get the morning sun.

I'd rise each day at rosy dawn
And bustle gaily down,
In evening's cool, you'd spray the lawn
When you come back from town.

A little cook-book I would buy
Your dishes I'd prepare,
And though they come out black and dry,
I know you wouldn't care.

How valiantly I'd strive to learn
Assured you'd not complain!
And if my finger I should burn,
You'd kiss away the pain.

I'd buy a little scrubbing-brush
And beautify the dirty floors,
I'd warble gaily as a thrush
About my daily little chores.

But though I'd cook and sew and scrub
A higher life I'd find,
I'd join a little music club
And cultivate my mind.

If you and I were one, my dear
A model life we'd lead,
We'd travel on, from year to year
At no increase of speed.

For you, my love the things I'd do
You cannot even think,
Just tell me all you want to do
I'd do it before you blink.

Ah, clear to me the vision of
The things that we should do!
And so I think it best, my love,
To string along as two.

I take a jewel from a junk-shop tray
And wish I had a love to buy it for,
Nothing I buy will make you turn my way
Nothing I give will make you love me more.

I know that I've embarrassed you too long
But I'm ashamed to linger at your door,
Whatever I embark on will be wrong
Nothing I do will make you love me more.

I cannot work, I cannot read nor write
How can I frame a letter to implore,
Persuasiveness is a lie. The truth is trite
Nothing I say will make you love me more.

So I replace the jewel in the tray
And laughingly pretend I'm far too poor,
Nothing I give, nothing I do or say
Nothing I am will make you love me more.

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

A Robin Redbreast in a cage,
Puts all heaven in a rage.

A dove house filled with doves and Pigeons,
Shudders hell thru all its regions.

A dog starved at his master's gate,
Predicts the ruin of the state.

A Horse misused upon the road,
Calls to heaven for human blood.

Each outcry of the hunted hare,
A fiber from the brain does tear.

A skylark wounded in the wing,
A cockatoo does cease to sing.

The game cock clipped and armed for fight,
Does the rising sun a fright.

Every wolf's and lion's howl,
Raises fear from a human soul.

The wild deer, wandering here and there,
Keeps the human soul from care.

The lamb misused breeds public strife,
And yet forgives the butcher's knife.

The bat that flies at close of eve
Has left the brain that won't believe.

The Owl that calls upon the night,
Speaks the unbeliever's fright.

He who shall hurt the little wren,
Shall never be loved by men.

He who the ox to rage has moved,
Shall never be by a woman loved.

The reckless boy that kills the fly,
Shall always feel the urge to die.

He who torments the mother sprite,
Weaves a bower in endless night.

The caterpiller on the leaf,
Repeats to thee thy mother's grief.

Kill not the moth nor butterfly,
For the last judgment is soon nigh.

He who shall walk the horse too far,
Shall never pass the polar bar.

The beggars dog and widows cat,
Feed them and till they grow fat.

The bug that sings his summer's song,
Poison gets from defamed tongue.

The poison of the snake and newt,
Is the sweat of envy's foot.

The poison of the honey bee,
Is the artist's jealousy.

The prince's robes and beggar's rags,
Are toadstools on the miser's bags.

A truth that's told with bad intent,
Beats all the lies you can invent.

It is right it should be so,
Man was made for joy not woe.

And when this we rightly know,
Through this world we safely go.

Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.

Under every grief and pine,
Runs a joy with silken twine.

The babe is more than muffled bands,
Throughout all these human lands

Tools were made, and born were hands,
Every farmer still understands.

Every tear from every eye,
Bids farewell to a fond goodbye.

This is caught by Females bright,
And returned to its own delight.

The bleat, the bark, bellow and roar,
Are waves that beat on heaven's shore.

The beggar's Rags, fluttering in air,
Does to rags the heavens tear.

The soldier, armed with sword and gun,
A deal strikes the summer's sun.

The poor man's riches is worth more,
Than all the gold on Africa's Shore.

One mite wrung from the laborers hands,
Shall buy and sell the miser's lands.

Or, if protected from on high,
Does that whole nation sell and buy.

He who mocks the infant's faith,
Shall be mocked in death and age.

He who shall teach the child to doubt,
From the rotting grave shall never get out.

He who respects the infants faith,
Increases his very own trait.

The child's toys and the old man's reasons,
Are the fruits of the two seasons.

The questioner, who sits so sly,
Shall never know how to reply.

He who replies to words of doubt,
Simply puts the light of knowledge out.

Nothin' can deform the Human Race,
Like to the armour's iron brace.

When gold and gems adorn the plow,
To peaceful arts shall envy bow.

A riddle or the cricket's cry,
Is to doubt a fit reply.

He who doubts from what he sees,
Will never believe, do what you please.

If the sun and moon should doubt,
They'd immediately go out.

To be in a passion you good may do,
But no good if a passion is in you.

The whore and gambler, by the state,
Are licensed to build that nation's fate.

Every night and every morn,
Some to misery are born.

Every morn and every night,
Some are born to sweet delight.

Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.

We are led to believe a lie,
When we see not thru our minds eye.

God appears and God is light,
To those poor souls who dwell in night.

But does a human form display,
To those who dwell in realms of day.

All my ways she wove of light
Wove them all alive,
Made them warm and beauty bright
So the trembling ambient air
Clothes the golden water where,
The pearl fishermen dive.

When she wept and begged a kiss
Very close I'd hold her,
And I know so well in this
Fine fierce joy of memory
She was very young like me,
Though half an aeon older.

Once she kissed me very long
Tiptoed out the door,
Left me, took her light along
Faded as a music fades
Then I saw the changing shades,
Color blind no more.

There was, as in the fairy tales
As never in the time's raid,
There was, a soul so young 'n pure
A most beautiful maid.

She was her parent's only child
Bright like the sun at noon,
Like the virgin midst the saints
And among stars the moon.

From the deep shadow of her room
Her step now she directs,
Toward a window, at its nook
A valiant knight she expects.

She looks far into the distant road
As he approaches, he darts his rays,
And leads the victorious army behind
On its marchin' conquering ways.

To look at him on this moonlight night
Her soul her instincts spur,
And as he looks at her from far
He falls in love with her.

And as on her elbows she leans
Her temple and her whim,
She feels deeply in her heart and soul
That, she falls in love with him.

And every night his stormy looks
More strongly renew,
When in the shadow of her room
She shows to his bright view.

And to her room with her slow steps
He bears his steps and aims,
Weaving out of his sparkles warm
A toil of shaking flames.

And when she throws upon her bed
Her tired limbs and reposes,
He glides his sight along her hands
And her sweet eyelash closes.

And from the mirror on her shape
A beam has spread and burns,
On her big eyes that beat though closed
And on her face that turns.

Her smiles viewin' him, the mirror shows
Him trembling in the nook,
For he is plunging in her dream
So that their souls may hook.

She speaks with him in sleep and sighs
While her heart's swelled veins drum,
'O sweet Lord of my fairy nights
What's takin' you so long to come.'

'Come to me, my brave knight
My senses have began to beam,
Enter my dwelling and my mind
And over my life gleam.'

And he listens and trembles
Still more for her love he craves,
And as quick as the lightning
He shreds his armor aways.

The land at that very spot
Moves rolling many rings,
And out of the unknown, dark, depth
A handsome young man springs.

As on a threshold over the sill
His hasty steps he leads,
Holds in his hand a mighty sword
Which has its handle made of beads.

A young lad he seems to be
With soft and blackish hair,
A blue shroud binds in a knot on
His naked shoulder fair.

The shade of his face is of the moon
And you can't see throughout,
A handsome young man with live eyes
That throw their sparkles out.

'O come, my treasure wonderful
And your world leave aside,
For I am the knight you dream of
I've come to make you, my bride.'

'In my palace on a far away hill
I'll take you for ever-more
And the entire world of this human race
Will kneel before your door.'

Days have past since but the brave knight
Comes up again and stays,
Just as before, spreading over her
His clear, translucent rays.

In sleep she would remember him
And, as before, her whole,
Wish for the lover of her dreams
To clinch now to her soul.

He waits and from dire despair
Of such an woeful weird,
One day he dies, and the heavens revolve
Where he has disappeared.

Soon in the air flames spread
The world in their grip hold,
A terrific form that spasms off
The chaotic valleys to mold.

On his locks of black hair he bears
His crown a fierce fire frames,
He floats as he really comes
Swimming in the sun's flames.

His black shroud lets develop out
His arms marbly and hale,
He pensively and sadly brings
His face awfully pale.

But his big wonderful eyes gleam
Nothing seen so deep,
Shows two unsatisfied wishes
Which but into the dark peep.

'O come, and upon your silky hair
Crowns of stars I shall crowd,
And more than all of them, up there
You will look fair and proud.'

'the depths of my breast ache
From the desire of your fierce love,
My heavy, big eyes also ache
When into them your love shove'.

'But how would I come down
For I know not it's a lie,
I am immortal, while you are
One of those that must die.'

'I hate big words, nor do I know
How to begin my plea,
And although your discourse is very clear
I do not understand thee.

But if you want my flamed love
And that would not be sham,
Come down on this temporal earth
Be mortal as I am.'

'I'd lose my immortality
For but one kiss of thine,
Well, I will show you how much too
For your fierce love I pine.

Yes, I shall be reborn for you
Receive another creed,
From that endlessness I'm tied
I shall forever be freed.'

And out he went, he went out fast
Loving a human fay,
He plucked himself from off the sky
And went for many a day.

Meanwhile, an earthly loafer, Jack
Sly, and who often jests,
When he's filling with wine the cups
Of all the banqueting guests.

A rascal that does nothin' good
Always looking up a ladies gown,
A wandering bastard, but somewhat bold
Like no one else in town.

His little cheek, a scar it holds
That under the sun stews,
Watchful, just like a thief, he sneaks
In this beautiful lady's views.

'How beautiful she grew', thinks he
'A flower just to pluck
Now, Jack, but now it is, you bum
Your chance to try your luck.'

And by the way, hurriedly,
He corners that human fay,
'What's with you, Jack? Let me be
Alone and go your way.'

'No! I want you to stay away
From thoughts that have no fun,
I want to see you only laugh
Give me a kiss, just one.'

'I don't know what it is about
And, believe me, retire,
But for my knight I'm dreamin' of
I've kept my strong desire.'

'If you know not know I could show
You all about love's balm,
Only, don't give way to your rage
Just listen and be calm.

So as the hunter throws the net
That many birds would harm,
When I'll stretch my left arm to you,
Enlace me with your arm.

Under my eyes keep thine and don't
Let them move on their wheels,
And if I lift you by the waist
You must lift on your heels.

When I bend down my face, to hold
To hold me, must be your strife,
So, to each other we could throw
Sweet, eager, looks for life.

And so that you have about love
A knowledge true and plain,
When I stoop to kiss you, my love
You must kiss me too and again.'

With much excitement her mind
The little boy's word fills,
And shyly and nicely now she
Wills not, and now she wills.

And slowly she tells him,
'since my childhood I've known such wit,
And as you are glib and fuckin' small
My temper on you would fit.

And secretly, she closes her eyes
For her eyelash tears dim
Thoughts in her mind of her brave knight
Traveling toward him.

He shines with love unspeakable
So that her pains he'd leach
But higher and higher soars,
So that his hand she'd never reach.

Sadly thrusts from the worlds
Which from his cold ray bar,
'I shall love him for ever-more
And for-ever he'll move far.'

Like the unmeasured steppes my days
Are deaf and wild, therefore,
But my nights spread a holy charm
I understand no more.'

'You are my lady! Let's go!
Through new lands our own fate let's frame,
Soon they shall have lost our trace
And forgotten even our name.

We shall be both wise and glad
As my judgment rightly infers,
And you would not long for your kin
Nor yearn for heavenly stars.'

Then the knight went out
His wings grow, into heavens dash,
And on his way millenniums
Flee in less than a flash.

Below, a depth of stars
Above, the heaven stars begem,
He seems an endless lightning
That is wandering right through them.

And from the chaos he sees
How in an immense ring,
Round him, as in the world's first day
Lights from their sources spring.

How, springing, they hem him like
An ocean that's swimming nears,
He flees carried by his desire
Until he disappears.

For that region is boundless
And searching regard avoids,
And time strive vainly there to come
To life from the dark voids.

'From that dark, choking, endlessness
Into which I am furled,
Father, undo me, and for-ever more
Be praised in this whole world.

Ask anything for this new fate
For with mine I am through,
O hear my prayer, Oh lord almighty
For you give life and death too.

Take back my endlessness,
The fires that my being devour
And in return give me a chance,
To love my beloved for an hour.

I've fought many a battle
I'd return to my former nest
And as I have been brought to life
From rest, I crave for rest.'

Almighty God, that comes from
The depths with the world's swarm,
Do not ask signs and miracles
That have no name nor form.

'You want to be counted amongst men
Take their resemblance vain,
And would now, the whole mankind die
Men will be born again.

But they are building on the wind
Ideals void and utter blind,
When human waves run into graves
New waves spring from behind.

Fate's expulsion, lucky stars
They only are to own,
Here we know neither time nor space
Death we have never known.

From the eternal yesterday
Drinks what today will drain,
And if a sun dies on the summer sky
A new sun shall quickens again.

Risen as forever, death though
Follows them like a thorn,
For all are born only to die
And die to be reborn.

But you remain where-so-ever
You would set down or flee,
You are of the prime form
And an eternal prodigy.

You will now hear the wondrous voice
At whose bewitched singing,
Mount Richmore gets skipping to skies
Into sea island sinking.

Perhaps you will more, show in deeds
Your sense of justice, might,
Out of the earth's lumps make an empire
And settle on its height.

I can give you millions of vessels
And hosts, that, bear your breath,
Over all the lands, over all the oceans
I cannot give you death.

For whom, then you want to die
Just go and see what's worth,
All that is waiting there for you
On that earth that I gave birth.'

His second reign on this earth
God almighty restores,
And like in his first day, his light
All over again he pours.

And upon the paths of the groves
Her sparkles again drone,
Under the row of oak trees
Two youths sit all alone.

'O! darling, let my blessed ear feel
How your heart's pulses beat,
Under the ray of your eyes clear
And unspeakably sweet.

With the charms of their cold light pierce
My thought's fairly glades,
Pour an eternal quietness
On my passion's dark shades.

And there, above, remain to stop
Your woe's violet stream,
For you are my first source of love
And also my last dream.'

Now, Jack beholds how love
Their eyes equally charms,
Scarcely his arm touches her neck
She takes him in her arms.

The silvery blooms spread their smells
And their soft cascade strokes,
The tops of the heads of both youths
With long and blackish locks.

And all bewitched by love,
She lifts her eyes toward the fires,
Of the witnessing brave knight
And trusts him her desires.

'Come to me, my brave knight
My senses have began to beam,
Enter my forest and my mind
And over my good luck gleam.'

As he did it once, into woods
On hills, his cry he urges,
Guiding throughout so many wilds
The resonance, moving, surges.

And he looks not as he did once
From his height into swells,
'What matters you, clod of dust
Is it me or someone else.

You live in your sphere's narrowness
And luck rules over you,
But in my steady world up above
I feel eternal, cold and true......'

The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wing of night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in its flight.

I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and mist,
And a feeling of sadness comes over me
That my soul cannot resist.

A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles rain.

Come, read to me some poem
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.

And the night shall be filled with music
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.

Will you tell me of your future plans,
How you intend to bring to earth caravans.

Of goodness and gladness, before me I see,
Men plotting destruction and plunder icily.

It is not that I have no faith in you,
I glance into your heart and find my due.

At last I have come with much travailling,
To the apparently firm, to he without cavailling.

I will reveal to you a glimpse of my soul,
As you travel out and beyond your past goal.

You may see the glowing presence of mind,
You may witness that the laws are all kind.

For to wish upon yourself much happiness,
It is necessary to undergo the trial of sadness.

All the hurt you have gathered to your self
Is no more than a thin covering, time's pelf.

I listen to your heart , it sounds good,
But I have problems without answer, a dark mood.

I tread worried through, then have revealed,
All the horrors and agony my mind concealed.

Do you seriously expect me now to reconsider
My foolish hopes and dreams? They make me snigger.

I cry to comfort my heart and gasp,
So lost, sunk, drab and sore is life's clasp.

I'll tell you in anger, babe, my great wish,
To seek all, to expect all, to not relinquish.

One tiny fragment of the dreams of yesterday,
To tell my self ardently it happens like a play.

Where good overcomes bad in due course and time,
Where true love is rewarded, taken to heaven's clime.

I cling to my hopes as I cling to despair
For in perfectness is the warm heart repaired.

Good lady, your words pour through me full,
I sense their lifeblood, recover some not all.

Of my passion for living, of my will to run,
After the unknown and unexpected, to hunt the sun.

And having found his warmth to hold it close,
Within me I can make him twice splendid, the utmost.

Holding him I'd fly on any dream to any part,
And yet, and I wonder, is this my end my start.

Good lady I'll leave you with a kiss of promises,
I'll pay you my respects, good wishes and homages.

I've watched you glide effortlessly up to me,
I've danced you round the stuff of infinity.

You may have glimpsed me there shining bright,
Have known the love that waits in peaceful night.

But I'll not rest until I bring you more and more,
Of the warmth and light the universe has in stored........

To reach across the bounds of time,
To know again your touch sublime.

Glistening palaces of brilliant white,
Illuminate the darkness of the night.

Your hand in mine from times of old,
And memories of thoughts untold.

Kept apart by winds and sand,
Till journeys to a foreign land.

To set aside your self at last,
And feel the feelings of the past.

As time grew short, the music played,
The moments passed, the feeling stayed.

So walk with me inside your dreams,
And know our love is what it seems.

Picture scenes from far away,
And know we'll meet some day.

Cast away the chains that bind,
Free the essence of your mind.

Find the strength within your heart,
To hold the love while we're apart.

Ask not why it must be so,
There's so much time, so much to know.

Believe with your heart and not your mind,
There's so much out there you will find.

Trust the thoughts you don't believe,
The truth that's there will not deceive.

Things aren't what you thought they'd be,
We're out of place, but wait and see.

The time is soon to dream about gin,
And ponder about where lifes been.

For in your mind you'll find a land,
Where we're together, hand in hand.

Cardinals fly over mountain streams,
Aloft with all my hopes and dreams.

To see us both off on your own,
I wish you all the joy I've known.

The walks we took were many,
But these next steps are few.

Alone you walk this final path,
Then turn and leave as two.

If ever should you need me,
Just take a walk outside.

And cast your thoughts upon the winds,
And watch the cardinals fly.

Dear I'll see you one fine day,
Another place, another way.

Hold me close deep in your heart,
And in that way we'll never part.

Do the things we liked to do,
If not for me than just for you.

Tell the world I love you so,
And to a new land we will go.

Smile and let your heart be free,
Know you'll always be with me.

Your love, it let me live again,
And now anew you must begin.

I'll be there for the things you do,
And always be a part of you.

To know the place, to know the time
For all the others who don't yet know
This is the purpose of this rhyme,
It's time for the love show.

The vision of a shadow
A shadow of a dream,
For any who might question
All is what it just seem.

The hills that rise so peacefully
Above the sun bleached plains,
Have long forgotten man's presence
Or the coming of the rains.

It's not so much the presence
Of things that you can see,
But rather it's the presence
Of things that used to be.

And so it's there we turn now
With passion in our hearts,
The hill surrounded valleys
The place where future starts.

I look into your eyes
I see you're endless mind,
I look into your heart
I know that you are kind.

The things you say with only thoughts
Of people past forget-me-not,
And memories of a future soon to come
And the feelings that you've got.

I see past your tears
I look into your heart,
I see your deep fears
The hopes and dreams you've fought.

To live life happy, never sad
To have a rainbow for your very own,
Like the views you've seen from mountain tops
That now seem far away from home.

Or some future night on a moonlit beach
Of some enchanted lonely bay,
These things I say, you know are true
Though yet to become the day.

I've looked at you and listened to
The you behind your eyes,
Express your thoughts to me through sound
My love it never dies.

Journeys cross the ball room floor
Like silhouettes from time before,
To grace the stage of life again
And dream of days in utter galore.

The lights come up, the stage is set
Repayment from a distant debt,
And so the music plays for me
And lifts me up the cleft.

Adrift on waves of distant thought
Rehearsing all the steps we're taught,
You wish to hold the future true
With the love that you have bought.

The dreams and sounds before us
In you now they are cast,
Dry your eyes and cry no more
Your dreams will come true fast.

A hand extends from someone near
To cast away your doubts and fears,
It's time to start a life anew
With changes life just steers.

So rise about the mire and silt
Cling not to the things you've had,
And free yourself of fear and guilt
Reminders of a time so sad.

Question not the things unknown
Just please accept the love you're shown,
Trust in things you cannot see
And maybe you'll believe in me.

So now, before you here I stand
Just make a wish and take my hand

Driving alone at night
I stopped my brand new car,
My bladder was bursting from
Too much beer in the bar.

The car I had just parked
By the lonely road side,
The tension was just too much
For me to let it hide.

I looked here and there and everywhere
Opened my pants to pee,
When I saw into the dark bushes
A tiger grinning at me.

Paralyzed I was to the very spot
With my willy in my hand,
To pee or not to pee, was all I thought
Why did I venture in this land.

With a bold heart, and a clogged mind
Backwards I began to walk,
Saying the few prayers I knew
One could barely hear me talk.

The tiger with the wide grin
Looked quite plum and fat,
A mighty roar, was all he gave
And in my pants, I nearly shat.

You may be laughing at the scene
But, vulnerable there I was,
Looking at this grinning tiger
Reminded me of my boss.

The worst position I've come across
Can't even run, can't even hide,
My pants open in the front
With my precious jewel outside.

I began to think hard
The tiger would do somethin' soon,
With the whack of his mighty forearm
Send my jewels to the moon.

Thank the almighty lord
I made it to my car,
Never in my life again
Will I stop by at a bar.

Right now, it makes me laugh
When I think over in my mind,
'MAN MAULED FOR PEEING ON A TIGER'
And the tiger not being kind.

While we have you on a roll,
Lets discuss this time space hole.

Many are there through-out space,
But you can make them any place.

The universe has special a pattern,
One place to learn is planet saturn.

Patterns seen in that direction,
Will teach you more of golden sections.

Building blocks that form a series,
May answer many of your queries.

Your simple view of light and mass,
Is something you will soon surpass.

To probe the world in four dimensions,
It's best to seek with pure intentions.

There's much for which you can aspire,
But careful when you play with fire.

When ancient poets wrote, and they wrote many
I am certain that they were inspired by you,
For the similarities that I see are so uncanny
I almost can't believe them to be true.

So now I write because you still inspire
And since my words come out the same,
As the words of poets from centuries prior
I can only imagine how lengthy is your fame.

How many artists poured your likeness on a page?
How many battles of honor lost or won?
Who'd fight for your honor in this day and age?
You can be certain that I still would, for one!

For it to last through so many a century in rhyme
Shows how true beauty stands the test of time,
To know your touch for me, this is my dream
Impatient, I await love's shining gleam.

Oh how I've longed to touch your wondrous skin
My fingers to caress that silken flesh,
That wraps you all around, so warm within
And covers you with beauty so fresh.

I wonder how I'd breathe should we begin
The dance that lovers share in every age,
Would ours be passion soft, a subtle win ?
Or blistering fire, pulsing wild, uncaged.

Perhaps someday we'll know that heat intense
It may be then we can enjoy such love,
Yet between that time and now there stands a fence
That I must climb and clear to fly above.

You're in my every thought, my beauty queen
Your eyes are so bright they at my heart pull,
I long to touch and caress that ebony sheen
Of curls that around your shoulders hang so full.

Your wondrous face alight with inner glow
So radiates a warmth I can't resist,
Your warm, soft breath, I almost feel it flow
Over your sweet lips, more beauty on your list.

Such joy you bring me, words cannot express
To see you here before my eyes, I soar,
To be near you, my love, I must confess
Is all my heart's desire, down to my core.

Happy as I am to feast my eyes upon you
I don't know for sure what your beauty enslaves,
If I was to surrender my heart that is now free
Whom could I count on that, blind fools saves.

And good as I feel to hold you ever so dear
I ought not for you simply need holding,
And I, by holding you so often, do so often fear
The hour upon which your freedom is unfolding.

Thus, tormented as I am by all of your scope
I can only pretend to feel myself the smarter,
For my love is true and it gives me true hope
Which makes not seeing you that much harder.

And so, for that reason alone, I choose to stay
Yet dare I say the words and tell you this,
To love and feast upon you as if my last day
And risk your anger, or, might I hope, a kiss.

Of all the flowers and butterflies,
Starry nights and rainbow skies
There was still much to be desired.
All the wonders in this world,
Had never left me whirled
As the fantasies that you inspired.

Heard of miracles from priests,
Love between beauties and beasts
There are a million and one stories.
They can keep their magic wand,
Because you and I go far beyond
Mortal tales and fleeting glories.

I have heard told of regrets,
Hell-bent Romeos and Juliets
Bad loves lost and tragedies.
Rusty knights cloaked in chivalry,
Maidens under lock and key
But we far outweigh all of these.

Where love lives, there love reigns.
When love is love there are no pains
And two as one should forever be.
Love that is true is unconditional,
Creates things as untraditional
As joining people, as unlike you and me.

Stronger and deeper
My love has grown,
Brighter and purer
My heart has shown.

Hour after hour
And day after day,
I find it easier and easier
And now I can say.

There's no one like you
Who knew me like this,
Gave me the world
Oh, What lovely bliss.

Long past time
And the world we know,
My love for you
Will continue to grow.

We've seen so much
And almost done it all,
We've come so close
But always stopped the fall.

I know in my heart
That you are the one,
You can see it in my heart
And the actions I've done.

Always and forever
I feel it is true,
Believe me, my lady
When I say, I love you.

Hold me this night, darling
Tight in your arms,
Tomorrow brings troubles
And dreaded alarms.

Tonight is the perfect time
For us to prepared,
So hold me tight, darling
And let joy be shared.

Moon in heaven
Shining for us
Fire on the hearthstone
Burning for us.

What are the stars thinking
Up in the sky,
But of our perfect love
Sent from on high.

Bend your lips down to mine
Bend down your heart,
Never shall earth, from this kiss
Tear us apart.

Heaven is smiling down
Praying for you,
So must it, from this hour
Pray for me, too.

So, enough, words are vain
How can I tell,
That your love is highest heaven
And, lack of it, hell.

I'm thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight,
If its wrong to love you
My heart, won't let me be right.

I'd give my all to you
I'll make you feel fine,
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine.

Love, can you feel me
I am looking in your eyes,
I see you very clearly
Can you hear my loving cries.

I won't be too far away
I will breath for you each day,
Comfort you through all the pains
Gently kiss your tears away.

Everytime I feel the need
I see you caressing me tight,
And, so I go back in time
To that lonely rainy night.

Last night I dream't of you
Felt your soft lips on mine,
You finally in my arms
Oh, what lovely feeling divine.

A single day without you
Seems impossible to bear,
Like you, a lady I've never met
Lovely, damsel so fair.

Can't describe the feeling
Why did'nt we meet before,
Now that we've finally met
Let's share the love in store.

I know not what is my future
What lies ahead of me,
But you holding my hand
Is all I can clearly see.....

I remember my good ole' school days
What a brilliant boy I was,
Envy of the entire school
There was no room for flaws.

Then I went to college
They say its frolic and fun,
But guys in my classrooms there
Called me, 'Atila the Hun'.

Now I am really working
If you wanna know the scenes,
Its fun being creative and all
And programming in Java Beans.

I had combined talents
The lord has given me much,
It is upto me now
To develop the likes of such.

Great parents, selfless teachers
Few friends and a lady love,
What more would a man need
This place is like heaven above.

I have withstood the weathers
Felt the rains, snow and the heat,
I have walked a many miles
With only sandals on my feet.

Let's talk about love
Words it has but few,
You can only see glimpses of it
Like the early morning dew.

Have you felt the love of children
They are little angels sent by God,
Creator of this wonderful universe
I cannot repay the lord.

The lakes, rivers and the seas
Sanctuary to the animals and birds,
Just like the great Punjab is
Sanctuary to the mellow surds.

Do you know about cupid ?
Little one with the arrows and bow,
Cute naked guy with wings
Pumps love into hearts that are low.

Don't let this arrow hit you, buddy
You'll end up like me here,
Pondering and looking into empty space
Writing poems to your dear.

Have written many a poems
They're not the greatest of them lot,
I write what's on my mind
And give it all I've got.

Though I must thank this lady
Who kindled the fire within,
No one boosted my energies like her
Not even my next of kin.

The road to happiness is easy
Give all that you can afford to give,
Do not expect much in return
For you have a short time to live.

There are many in this world
Who do not have, what you have today,
Make the most of it, pal
Or you will repent for it someday.

Hunger for love, not riches
For it is love that binds us all,
If you think I am really crazy
Ask the lonely kid with her doll.

We see war and we see hunger
Have you given it a thought?,
No love, understanding but hatred
And all the tragedies its bought.

The days of my lovely childhood
Will they ever come again ?,
That passage of life I will never get
Even if I try my best in vain.

My only wish in life
Is to live by the ocean side,
With my sweetheart's hand in mine
And peace flowing inside.

Ninety-nine times I have written
Hundred makes quite a lot,
Thank you, my lady for giving me
All the love you've got.

I wish I could make you mine
It is after all fates game,
How about you and me challenge fate
And put all who watch to shame.

I will not forget thee
Until my very last day,
Cross my heart and from deep within
'I adore and love thee', is all I can say'

Dreams provide a new direction
To change your life and seek perfection.

Building blocks of thought and mind
To implement and teach in kind.

Spread your words to those who listen
And watch the light around them glisten.

Know yourself and they'll know you
It simplifies what you must do.

Sharing brings your tasks to bear
In ways that nothing else compares.

Challenging yourself through others
Helps identify your brothers.

You alone must stand as one
Amidst the glory of the sun.

To bring together those you find
To share the secrets in your mind

For years I stood upon a hill
I could see with a glance,
And all around me I enjoyed
A beautiful expanse.

The ocean waves rolled in, I saw
On the other side of me,
A lonely beach stretched onward
Toward far infinity.

I sang a song to all I saw
It echoed in my mind,
But though I looked expectedly
No person could I find.

I stood alone - my heart was sad
Because I now could see,
No person who could be my friend
And love me happily.

But still I sang to all I saw
My sad and lonely song,
I did not try to search for love
For here I did belong.

I sang and sang, no person came
To share my hill with me,
And so it seems I'll always stay
Still all alone, but free.

Every time I close my eyes, I think of you,
I give my heart to you, all to you.

Who would have thought love could run so deep,
Now you are not here, and I cry myself to sleep.

Every time I close my eyes I think of love,
I thanked my lord, for you must have come from above.

And I know that you really care,
I will always be with you there.

Though our time together was so short,
My heart and mind are confused and unable to sort.

I would give all I have up for you,
I hope you would do the same too.

Memories of your beautiful face is all I have for me,
You are the only one for my heart that has the key.

I think my life has finally begun,
And I have finally found someone.

I don't want to be all alone without you,
My heart knows no bounds for love, even though it's new.

I will give all my heart and soul can give,
If you can stand it you shall receive.

With you I dream of love that would last forever,
Do not think this to be never.

How many dreams will end with you there,
How many times have I told you that I care.

Kissing you is not what I planned,
I do not know or comprehend where I will stand.

Until the moment when I give myself to you,
I dream of love that is so true.

You touched my heart, that no one had before,
You cared for me and opened that closed door.

I wonder if you know how much I care,
Though to touch your heart I try and dare.

Saying I love you means so much,
Awaiting that moment for your tender touch.

I could lose my heart to you if you stay,
If you don't my heart will surely pay.

I fell in love with you,
But how could I not?, this is true.

With you, hours slow to lengthen our time,
You are so loving and so kind.

Do you know who I am, for I do,
I am your love, you are mine too.

You made my dreams come true,
For this I must thank you.

Nothing is ever going to change, my love for you,
Remember this, I cry too.

One thing you should know and be sure of,
I never wanted anything but your love.

I will give you my heart,
Please do not say let us part.

All the lessons we learned in life,
Of love and pain should not end in a strife.

You will always be beautiful in my eyes,
Though they be filled with tears no more ties.

Tell me you love me, and I will let you go,
But I will keep you if you tell me so.

Always know, my love is true,
Every time I closed my eyes I think of you

Love is like magic
And it always will be,
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery.

Love works in ways
That are wonderous and strange,
And there is nothing in life
That love can't change.

Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind.

Love is the answer
That everyone seeks,
Love is the lauguage
That every heart speaks.

Love can't be bought
It's priceless & free,
Love is like magic
It's a sweet mystery.

Willow blow just as they please
Dancing with each subtle breeze.

Orchestras command the wind
Much like the way it's always been.

But clouds aren't like they used to be
And rainbows come in twos and threes.

Winds that blew the night away
Continue on into the day.

Perhaps the earth won't turn as fast
And revert to patterns of the past.

Maybe turning upside down
And throwing many things around.

Watch the sun's coronas glow
For when it's time you'll surely know.

By then you will be in your place
To help preserve the human race.

I love you more
Than the rivers flow
The bits of tiny crystal-like snow
More than the way the flowers bloom,
My love goes way beyond the moon.

I love you more
Than a sunny day
Even more than birds that fly far away
My love for you goes beyond the trees,
Beyond the quietness of the gentle breeze.

I love you more
Than the animals of the earth
More than any piece of gold is worth,
Even more than the birds sweetly sing
I love you more than anything.

I love you more
Than the mountains in the sky
And the wondrous wings of a butterfly
More than the chipmunks and the squirrels
Even more than diamonds and pearls.

I love you more
Than a jungle rain
More than a parched desert plain
More than a field full of flowers
Even more than light spring showers.

I love you more
Than you'll ever know
My love for you will only grow
Wherever I go, whatever I do
Don't ever forget my love stands true.

Maybe one day I will return from hel
Maybe one day I will fall in love again,
Maybe one day and forever, well
I will light my heart for you, that's certain.

Maybe one day I will meet you truly
Maybe one day we'll be together,
Maybe one day I will stop feeling lonely
And I will finally be happy forever.

Maybe one day my heart will stop bleeding
Maybe one day I will navigate your heart,
Maybe one day I will stop seeking
Maybe one day I will have a new start.

Maybe one day I will caress your face
Maybe one day you will give me sweet kisses,
Maybe one day you will leave a trace
In my soul full of sutures.

Maybe one day you will become reality
Maybe one day I will see your eyes,
Maybe one day we will promise fidelity
Maybe one day, it won't be just lies.

Much I will have to grow
Much I will have to undergo,
How many times I will have to revive
Until my fears learn to forego.

Maybe one day I will be able to navigate
Maybe one day I will be able to understand all above,
I needed a lot of time to learn, but it's never too late
Now I know, the meaning of the word 'love'.

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox is oxen, not 'oxes'.

Then one fowl's a goose, but two are called 'geese',
Yet the plural of moose should never be 'meese'.

You may find a mouse, or a nest of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not 'hice'.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called 'pen'?

If I spoke of my foot and showed you my feet,
Then I gave you a boot, would a pair be a 'beet'?

If one is tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called 'beeth'?

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother we never say 'methren'.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, 'shis' and 'shim'.

So English, I fancy, you will agree,
Is the craziest language you ever did see.

The morning has come
And the birds are singing,
Night has gone by
A new day is in the bringing.

Soon the sun will rise
Showering his royal rays,
The sky seems a little cloudy
'tis one of those rainy days.

I look outside my window
And sniff the sweet smelling breeze,
So green and colorful outside
With gayful swaying trees.

I get up and brush my teeth
Put some coffee on the stove,
Soon when I reach my office
I'll be writing poems for my love.

Breakfast I don't have none
I like to work when I'm light,
My body don't feel lazy
My mind feels just right.

Having left home refreshed
I catch the bus at eight,
Its better to be early in office
Than to be late.

I simply love my workplace
Its where my life belongs,
I spend more time at work than home
While listening to favourite songs.

I send the poem to my lady
Note what has to be done today,
I know there's much for me to do
So late at work I have to stay.

I enjoy my work and what I do
'tis what I wanted in life,
Now all I need, that I must say
Is a wonderful, loving wife.

Someone who share and cares
Who wipes away my tears,
And when in times of a small celebration
Joins me with a coupla beers.

Well, evening draws to a close
The sun has set and the stars shine bright,
I'm still working late in office
Under the bright tube-light.

I finish my job atlast
Feel satisfied for the day,
Leave for home, in the midst of the night
On my bed I just wanna lay.

I have a good refreshing bath
Read a book for a while,
Have a light dinner that's done
And go to bed with a smile.

As I drift off to sleep
I know, of what I will dream,
About my wonderful lady love
Till morning, when the roosters scream.....

On the wind of January
Down flits the snow,
Traveling from the frozen North
As cold as it can blow.
Poor robin redbreast
Look where he comes,
Let him in to feel your fire,
And toss him some crumbs.

On the wind in February
Snowflakes float still,
Half inclined to turn to rain
Nipping, dripping and chill.
Then the melt swell the stream
And swollen rivers swell the sea,
If the winter ever ends
How pleasant it will be!

In the wind of windy March
The shrubs drop down,
Curly and caterpillar-like,
Curious green and brown.
With gathering of nest-building birds
And leaf-buds by the way,
We begin to think of flowers
And life and nuts some day.

With the gusts of April
Rich fruit-tree blossoms fall,
On the hedged-in orchard green
From the western southern wall.
Apple-trees and pear-trees
Shed petals white or pink,
Plum-trees and peach-trees
While sharp showers sink and sink.

Little brings the May breeze
Beside pure scent of flowers,
While all things wax and nothing pale
In lengthening daylight hours.
Across the rose beds
The wind lags warm and sweet,
Across the thorny tree tops
Across the blades of wheat.

In the wind of sunny June
Thrives the red rose crop,
Every day fresh blossoms blow
While the first leaves begin to drop.
White rose and yellow rose
And moss rose choice to find,
And the cottage cabbage-rose
Not one to be left behind.

On the blast of scorched July
Drives the pelting hail,
From thunderous clouds, that blot
Blue heaven grown lurid-pale.
Weedy waves are tossed ashore
Sea-things strange to sight,
Gasp upon the barren shore
And fade away in light.

In the searing August wind
Corn-fields bow the head,
Sheltered in round valley depths
On low hills outspread.
Early leaves drop loitering down
Weightless in the breeze,
First fruits of the year's decay
From the last withering trees.

In the brisk wind of September
The heavy-headed fruits,
Shake upon their bending boughs
And drop from their shoots.
Some glow golden in the sun
Some show green and streaked,
Some set forth a purple bloom,
Some blush a rosy-cheeked.

In the strong blast of October
At center of the equinox,
Stirred up in his hollow bed
We see broad ocean rocks.
Plunge the ships on his bosom
Leaps and plunges the foam,
It's oh! for mother's sons at sea
That they were safe at home.

In the slack wind of November
The fog forms and shifts,
All the world comes out again
When the hazy fog lifts.
Loosened from their sapless twigs
Leaves drop with every gust,
Drifting, rustling, out of sight
In the damp or in the dust.

Last of all, comes December
The year's sands nearly run,
Speeds on the shortest day
Trims the blaring sun.
With its bleak raw wind
Lays the last leaves low,
Returns the nightly frosts,
Bringing back the snow.

And thus in a complete cycle
The seasons ever change,
Time it does'nt stand still at all
Providing a really wide range......

I behold a raven beauty
A rare sight to see,
I count my lucky stars
That you belong to me.

Don't ever stray too far
I'd be lost without you near,
Because just the thought, of losing you
Is my greatest fear.

I wish you were near
To nibble at my ear,
I wish you were close
To see the wriggling of your nose.

You are a friend and much more,
These things are meaningful, to my life
If one or the other, were to end today
This would cause chaos and so much strife.

I hope these words are enough
To show you how I feel,
Because every time I'm with you
These feelings are for real.

I think you know, how I feel for you
Enough things have been said,
All I simply want to say now
Is, 'I'll love you till I'm dead'......

A stranger came to the door at eve
And he spoke to the bridegroom fair,
He bore a green-white stick in his hand
And, for all burden, care.

He asked with the eyes more than the lips
For a shelter for the night,
And he turned and looked at the road afar
Without a window light.

The bridegroom came forth into the porch
With, 'Let us look at the sky,
And question what of the night to be
Stranger, you and I.'

The dry leaves littered the yard
The wasted berries were blue,
Autumn, yes, winter was in the wind
'stranger, I wish I knew.'

Within, the bride in the dusk alone
Bent over the open fire,
Her face rose-red with the glowing coal
And the thought of the heart's desire.

The bridegroom looked at the weary road
Yet saw but her within,
And wished her heart in a case of gold
And pinned with a silver pin.

The bridegroom thought it little to give
A loaf of bread, a purse,
A heartfelt prayer for the poor of God
Or for the rich a curse.

But whether or not a man was asked
To break the love of two,
By harboring woe in the bridal house
The bridegroom wished he knew.

I know not of ballads really old,
Nor epic stories that have been told.

I only know what sounds to me,
A sound of quiet dignity.

To rhyme and tie and link and blend,
Into a verse that I can send.

To my love, the words that I,
Feel in my soul from earth to sky.

The words of love that take to her,
Like the softest of all known fur.

My song of love and gentle touch,
A love so strong, my love is such.

As man has never felt before,
A love that'll last forever more.

A love that takes away my breath,
And leaves me to my quiet death.

For I know there'll never be a day,
When I will have the strength to say.

What's in my heart and in my mind,
The thoughts that while away my time.

The thoughts of her that came to stay,
The thoughts that take my breath away.
