"Thou shall never love me............."
Thou shall never love me,
I know this well.
Cause I'm not a good man.
Tell me where shall I go ?
Thou shall never love me,
I know this well.
Those mountains are too small,
To hide my sorrow and pain.
Thou shall never love me,
I know this well.
These oceans are too shallow,
To hide my feelings for you.
Thou shall never love me,
I know this well.
This world is too small,
To hide my love for you.
I cannot be the best for you,
As best as your man.
What shall I do ?
Where shall I go ?
Can you ever love me ?
Love me forever more.
More than your man ?
Can I ever be your man ?
P.S :
This time I let you go forever because you do not love me and you never want to be with me. And it burns my heart just thinking about you loving someone else, someone who isn't me. But then I have to remind myself that love is about letting go. I will always pray to God that in my next life may you be the princess of my little kingdom till then goodbye..........

"It reminds me of you.........."
When I look at the stars,
It reminds me of you.
The shining of the stars,
Are the shining eyes of yours.
When I look at the ocean,
It reminds me of you.
The unending waves of the ocean,
Are the unending hair of yours.
When I look at the sun,
It reminds me of you.
The gleaming reddish sun,
Are the reddish cheeks of yours.
When I look at the river,
It reminds me of you.
The perennial flow of the river,
Are the perennial smile of yours.
And when I look at you,
It reminds me of an angel.
An angel always by my side,
Sent from the heavens above.

'FEELINGS' for you until death.....
I feel for you,
The best I can.
I feel for you,
The best I have.
My feelings are treasure,
For the special to share.
My feelings are precious,
For the one to care.
My feelings are few,
This is all for you.
My feelings are due,
This is all for you.
My feelings are expressionless,
I'm neither Shakespeare nor Keats,
For you I'm a common man,
Whose feelings are forever emotionless.
My feelings are universe,
To paint the world,
All I can is with my feelings,
No matter how hard it hurts or pains.
My feelings look out,
For you in the wilderness,
All I can find are memories,
That don't fade away.
My feelings are everlasting,
Though I may die someday,
Wake me up from death,
If you ever feel the same.
What is "POVERTY " ?
My friend from ages,
My friend from cages,
Poverty my friend.
My partner in crime,
My partner in rhyme,
Poverty my partner.
My companion in food,
My companion in hood and brood,
Poverty my companion.
My mate in darkness,
My mate in lightness,
Poverty my mate.
My comrade in tatters,
My comrade in shatters,
Poverty my comrade.
My soulmate in sadness,
My soulmate in happiness,
Poverty my soul mate.
My life at dawn,
My life at dusk,
Poverty my life.

"MY" - Old Age
My Life is not easy,
My face has thousand linings,
What do they speak ?
Years of pain and suffering.
My Life is not easy,
My back bent with age,
What do they speak ?
Firm affirmation to life's challenges.
My Life is not easy,
My power of sight diminishing,
What do they speak ?
Atrocities that cannot be seen.
My Life is not easy,
But I live happy and cheerful,
Living each day as my last,
As I dwell in my glory past.
