TIME

A dream for tomorrow

Where there is no sorrow

A life for today

Where I live someday

A beauty since yesterday

Where it's no more grey

Time moves on so fast

Forgetting what it can cast

We leave our burdens behind

Our souls finally unconfined

PAVEMENTS

Pavements that lead me to you,

Distances that lead you to me,

We keep coming back to find refuge,

In the protection of arms spread,

Open under the sky with prayers endless,

For each other to prosper,

For each other to grow,

As a good human,

In every single way...

OH, MY FRIEND!

Distance is ruling between me and you,

And a thousand pebbles I am bearing too,

I am stepping on each stone one by one,

I love to lose this battle that you've won,

Empowerment versus strength where it will end

Patience can never fail do you know that my friend

Distance is blooming between me and you,

And a million roses I am smelling too,

I am touching on the edge of each petal,

This bond is not easy just made of metal,

Obstinacy versus resilience where it will end

Love can never destroy do you know that my friend

Distance is lighting up between me and you,

And a billion flames I am feeling too,

I am walking on the top of each furnace,

When a will is strong why to feel nervous,

Passion versus compassion where it will end,

Nothing is impossible to do you know that my friend.

CRIME

Recreation of a society is what everyone desires for

Peace and serenity forever and there would be no war

My idealism urges me to think about my country's fate

Spreading only a level of understanding, eliminating  hate

Life is much more than daily chores and little disputes 

Let's live for a greater cause with deep strong roots

Positivity is to be implemented if not today then when

At least in this feeling, I do not forget to raise my pen

Aspirations never die, why not try one more time 

Not loving your homeland, for me is a major crime

UNAFFECTED

Wherever I go wherever I live I own the same heart

Once broken then healed with love it's all a life's part

Some call me poetry some call me a philosophy of life

The world is treacherous never believe this two-sided knife

Intentions need to be pure and actions follow their lead

Watch the thorns in the way they may make you bleed

Let the fluid of blood wash your wounds with cuts so deep

My eyes shine brighter than ever though heart does weep

Hope is that bird which soars really high when you are dejected

No matter whatever happens good or bad I remain unaffected

COMBINATION

Like moon is essential for night 

Like valor is essential for fright

Like light is essential for sight

Hearts are combined with a loving might

EVER

Higher than ever

My sky is illuminated

Brighter than ever

My soul is enlightened

Firmer than ever

My earth is grounded

GOD'S MERCY

Clouds are a sign of God's mercy,

When the earth feels so thirsty,

Enveloped by thoughts of your presence,

When my world seems like heaven,

Life reveals the hidden meanings of Love,

Together we soar high above.

STRENGTH

Strength is not a mere word...

What do u know about this bird?

A feeling of staying grounded!

How many stars have you counted?

Keep your inside will strong...

Then nobody can do you wrong!!!

CONNECTED

Unafraid of those long distances

Life brings so many acquaintances

But the ones meant to be connected

Stay there always like never expected

LOVE AND DISTANCE

In the war of love and distance,

Why not choose the path of resistance,

The flames overpower darkness,

Why not explore the woods of wilderness,

 The imagination cannot replace reality,

Why not ignore the illusion of fantasy,

In the war of love and distance,

Why not show the power of persistence,

The stars fade in brightness,

Why not change the way of politeness,

The bitter cannot replace sweet,

Why not erase the story of retreat,

In the war of love and distance,

Why not relish the fruit of endurance.

SOMEBODY

See stars are whispering tonight,

Somebody is missing your subtle sight,

See memories are slowly fading away,

Somebody is wishing for another day,

See moments are moving ahead,

Somebody is recalling that is dead.

MIRACLES

Like a land so barren, 

Sometimes it never rains,

Like a solitary walk,

All that has to be born are pains,

Like a place with no trespassers,

It's only deserted world inside,

Like a baby left alone,

So many times you must have cried,

Like a hope for miracles,

It's only a test of your patience,

Like a mother full of love,

"He always loves His creation."

A HEART CUFF

A silver outline shining so delicately bright

I was mesmerized by nature's mysterious sight

A cloud as soft as cotton floating above my head

A scene so serene as if today earth and sky wed

With message from God revealing His mercy

My land really dry, my soul really thirsty

Waiting for rain, my eyes forget to blink

My hands tremble, my body starts to shrink

The sun was departing leaving behind the twilight

Leaving the face of the sky, welcoming the night

But that cloud, still covering my roof

This time enveloping the moon, so aloof

Blessing me instantly with its cool light

Once again giving me a tremendous delight

Oh Nature, I cannot ever get you enough

Your beauty is what a captivating heart cuff!!!

SNOW

Like snow brings magic to mountains

Your presence brings to my fountains

Sprinkled sparks out of my soul

Your love my only desired goal

Like snow covers those rocky faces

Your warmth brings to those places

Deserted long ago in silence

My heart remains full of diamonds

Only you can discover to own

The wild blossom of snow has grown

Like snow brings magic to mountains

Your presence brings to my fountains

WHITE BIRDS

Watching the sky has been my passion

Let me declare today this confession

White birds flying in a flock

As I stand spellbound in a shock

What message it is sending

A new beginning or an ending?

Why it intrigues my heart

While those flying birds depart

A mixture of joy and despair

Sometimes life is not fair

But you must focus on the bright

Instead of proving what is right

The darkening sky cannot scare you a bit

If you keep your mind perfectly fit

White as snow the tint of their wings

Never pay heed to the other things

Elevate your spirit like their flight

A brand new day after every night

To never let your hope die

You were not made to cry

Those white birds are so appealing

As they are surely a sign of healing

Your horizon will be completely changed

And your life all rearranged

Learn from my inspiration my friends

Before my story ends...

FLOWERS GROW

Flowers grow not only in gardens,

But also in my heart,

When I take your name,

Like a scented candle,

I vanish the haunting darkness,

When I take your name,

Like a shiny sword,

I fight the lingering fears,

When I take your name,

Flowers grow not only in gardens,

But also in your heart,

When you think of me,

Like a fearless firefly,

You continue to proceed,

When you think of me,

Like a passionate river,

You pave your own path,

When you think of me,

Flowers grow everywhere we go,

Leaving our traces behind,

When I take your name,

When you think of me.

IF THE SKY WAS A CANVAS

If the sky was a canvas...

I would paint my heart,

 On the face of clouds,

To let you know,

Wherever you go,

Cover you from sunshine,

Bless you, with rain,

Whenever you like,

Let your dance freely,

If the sky was a canvas...

I would collect all the stars,

And lighten up your name,

To let the world know,

How beautiful it sounds,

Only if one wish comes true,

If the sky was a canvas...
