Life! O life!

You know you love someone

When it is just too late

You know you missed someone

When it is just too late

You want to help someone

When it is just too late

You want to cherish someone

When it is just too late

 You know Someone means a lot

When it is just too late

 

Life! O life!

Full of Mystery

The eye is blinded to see the efforts

But wide open for the mistakes

The heart is closed to accept the humble

But open for the crafty

The mouth sing praises for the corrupt

But condemn the just

Many judge from what they see

But not from what they know

It hurts to be on the other side

But guess what!

The truth leads to a legacy

My Friend My Boss

My Friend my Boss

My Boss my strength

All Praise and honor

To the heavens I give

Unto the heavens I give thanks

For unto me a guardian friend bestowed

The pride and the strength of my life he is

Ever drawing smiles on my face

Lifting my heart with too much praises.

They call him Names

I call him Boss

My Boss, my friend

How I wish you could understand

The fullness of joy in my live you brought

And how much of this joy I wish to return

So much you did

And so much you do

By His Grace I am who I am

Thanks to the man in you

A man of integrity

A man with a golden heart

In me you saw what many could not see

Though fresh from the four walls of varsity

Amateurish, empty, clueless and helpless

You opened wide that magical door

Yes! That great door

That door of light

That door of respect

That door of joy

That door of fame

That door of service

I remember the pains of rejection

The pains of distress I remember

Wondering the streets in lust I remember

The merciless scorching midday sun I will never forget

Searching and searching

Searching and cursing

Searching and crying

Searching For the means to survive

I remember that dreadful feeling of numerous snubs

I remember the boiling detestation of being disregarded

I remember the anguish of being turned down

I remember the numerous times I cursed myself

Yet I kept searching and searching and never stopped searching

Ho dear,

I will always remember

That faithful day

Walking through that door

Finding a man sitting in majesty

Behind that jam-packed desk

Staring straight

Right straight into my trembling eyes

No words spoken

No heads turn

Just staring

Staring at a helpless man

Standing in despair

With fabricated boldness

Wishing for a miracle

A MIRACLE FROM ABOVE

From the almighty comes life

Life He gives with joy

Happiness, love, peace, in abundance

Everlasting to everlasting to all mankind He gives

Bless Him I found you

For you made my life better

From the pit of despair there I was found

In the heart of depression, you lifted me up

Leading, guiding, molding, teaching, transforming

When I was wrong you scolded

When I was right you jubilated

My happiness your goal

In times of sadness you mourned with me

Above all oh dear

You gave me that secret

That secret to be a big fish in an even bigger water

What else do I have to say

What else do I have to do

To say thank you is an attitude

And to appreciate is divine

My Friend! My Boss

My Boss, my Strength

I salute you

What Did I Do

I heard the voice of my friend calling;
I heard the voice of my friend crying;
I heard the voice of my friend begging for help;
And what did I do?

I saw my friend in misery;
I saw pain in his dark blue eyes;
I saw that beautiful clean clear color of his face diminishing;
And what did I do?

I saw my friend feeble and exhausted;
I saw my friend wasting;
I saw my friend a walking skeleton; 
And what did I do?

I saw my friend on a stretcher; 
I saw my friend struggling with the medics;
I saw my friend ferried from hospital;
And what did I do?

Then, I saw someone wearing a mask;
And behold, I saw the angels descending;
Only then, and only then, I knew what I did.

Silver Jubilee

Years of toiling by day by night
Up at dawn with minds so tight
Exhausting energy to make things right
Yet no sign of slowing down.

 Years of mind busting pressure

No time for indolent pleasure
Concentration replaces leisure
Yet no sign of slowing down.

 Many have come, many have gone

Much work still to be done

Never see on the face a frown
But still no sign of slowing down

Symbol of hard work and dedication
Patience is of high notation
Success the outcome of devotion
Twenty five years no sign of slowing down

Many years of service we pray
Courage, wisdom, strength display
End of time our dreams repay
Then at last time to slow down.

 

 

Lady With The Dimple

The lady with the dimple
Lifts me up to stumble
Lord help me not to topple
Lest I become a helpless cripple

Her beauty is a complement
Coded number eight swings with the movement
Looking fault the commandment
Mouths full of thousand comments

Dreams! Dreams! Dreams!

Dreams! Dreams! Dreams!
Just too many Dreams!

Yes! Dreams of illusion
Days marked with endless desolation
Oh no! She leads me into commotion
I pray not to lead to depression

So! They call what

They call her Leo
Leo the dimple
Leo the beauty
Leo the lioness
Leo my illusion

 

Silent Tears

 

Oh Peace!                                                               

Where are you

On the mountain top I searched

Along the plains and lowlands I searched

In the deepest valleys I searched

Seems you left us

Gone too far to be traced

Wherever you are

Please make haste to return

Lest the heart flood with silent tears

That tender heart is bleeding

Anguish rips through the vessels of the being

The soul shivers with the midday sun 

Like a captive in the shackles of despair

Longing for the hour of freedom

To set at rest the silent tears

The land of peace turned a land of battle

Bullets have become morning breakfast

Fear, maliciousness, mistrust on full scale

Taking of life, a secret ornament no more

In the middle of shambles are the Innocent

Wailing and waiting for the gods to intervene

Just to set at rest the silent tears

knights many they say they are,

Setting rules man dare not,

Yet lips can’t speak

Nor the scribes can’t inscribe

Lest they become premium steaks

For creatures of the underground world

That wait patiently as drip on, the silent tears

Peace! Peace! Peace!

Please make haste to return

The land is under fire

Literacy is under threat

Commerce is under threat

Faith is under threat

Life is under threat

Come back and take your place

Overcome the tomfoolery with thy charm

Invade the darkest of hearts

Break the chains of maliciousness

And set to rest the silent tears
