My lucky day

You in my life
Will live eternally
I knew the first day we met
You were meant for me.

Forever Love

You are my description of love
You are my description of friend
You are my description of everything
You are my description of beginning to end.

You have put me on a pedestal
You make me feel ten feet tall
You've always been there for me
You've loved me through it all.

You've stood by me through thick and thin
You've always been patient and kind
Just thought I'd let you know
You're the owner of this heart of mine.

So you ask how long I'll love you
Well this is what I have to say
Past, present, future, always
Forever and a day!

Remembrance

She remembers it all,
All the people who had said
They cared, but did they really?

She remembers it all,
The sound of laughter and
How happy she'd been, but was she really?

She remembers it all,
His arms around her and
He said "I love you," but did he really?

She remembers it all,
The pain she'd felt when he left,
How her heart ached, but was it really?

She remembers it all,
The feeling of being so alone,
The feeling no one cared, but did they really?

But now they'll remember her,
Staring at the knife in her hand
How easy to slit her wrists, but will she really?

Nishad, Our friend

A couple of months ago,
My friend Nishad was fall down in the floor and
It was like a clash of thunder creeping through the sky.
My friends and I just prayed for the Lord to heal him through
Nishad's spirit will never fade
because he is like an angel watching over us
At the end we had to say goodbye
but we all knew that he was raised up on eagle's wings
And now through these days we hear him
soaring through the skies like a little butterfly
"And Nishad, don't forget we're your friends, your best friends"

A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole.
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see,
My foe outstretchd beneath the tree.

William Blake

Happiness

So early it's still almost dark out.
I'm near the window with coffee,
and the usual early morning stuff
that passes for thought.

When I see the boy and his friend
walking up the road
to deliver the newspaper.

They wear caps and sweaters,
and one boy has a bag over his shoulder.
They are so happy
they aren't saying anything, these boys.

I think if they could, they would take
each other's arm.
It's early in the morning,
and they are doing this thing together.

They come on, slowly.
The sky is taking on light,
though the moon still hangs pale over the water.

Such beauty that for a minute
death and ambition, even love,
doesn't enter into this.

Happiness. It comes on
unexpectedly. And goes beyond, really,
any early morning talk about it.

Raymond Carver

THEY FLEE FROM ME

They flee from me, that sometime did me seek
With naked foot, stalking in my chamber.
I have seen them gentle, tame, and meek,
That now are wild, and do not remember
That sometime they put themselves in danger
To take bread at my hand; and now they range
Busily seeking with a continual change.

Thanked be fortune it hath been otherwise
Twenty times better; but once, in special,
In thin array, after a pleasant guise,
When her loose gown from her shoulders did fall,
And she me caught in her arms long and small,
Therewith all sweetly did me kiss
And softly said, 'Dear heart, how like you this?'

It was no dream; I lay broad waking:
But all is turned, thorough my gentleness,
Into a strange fashion of forsaking;
And I have Leave to go of her goodness,
And she also to use new fanglencess.
But since that I so kindly am served,
I would fain know what she hath deserved.

My Lost Love

I held what before my eyes stood
At eyes of beauty I locked
she was beautiful and fair
There was fragrance in the air
cupid's arrows pierced my heart
I asked who though art?

She stood in silence leveling none
for long the silence stood and spoke none
Then she said to me
You need not my aid
for men I have seen
A part of them I have been


All were in fluttery dreadful
in love they were unfaithful
And but for this i accept you as lover not
I begged for a change
For in love you will be faithful not
she gave not glance
my heart shattered
my eyes watered


Then I a solemn oath love
At failics never to look
for my love was not cherished
And my love perished for ever.

Love for me!!

Love, I never tried it,
But what happend to me suddenly
I can't see the world without you......,
I can't hear a word without you.......,
But you never cared for it.

You stole my dreams.....
You stole my heart....

Love, I never tried it,
But what happend to me suddenly.
How I am supposed to live without you....
But why can't you love me?
What should I do to impress you?
Come baby, please be hidden in my heart...
No one except me could see you;
But you cared little for it.

My baby, Why can't you love me?
Don't make me mad!!
Everyday I thought of you....,
And everyday,
I see you to dream in my heart....,
My baby, I am really loving you.....,

You stole my dreams.....,
You stole my heart.......,

Love, I never tried it,
But it swerved my life for ever.

Memories

Memories are the only things
Which you can keep forever,
You need not tie strings
To keep them together.

They need no place
Nor they need any space,
They don not crack
Nor they break
But they can only fade away,
If you don't need them,
But that is also hard to do

For they are important too,
In many ways of life
Memories can help you,
Good ones can make you smite,
Bad ones can make you cry.

Keep them, for they can help you
In the Journey of miles.

My Friend

There is no music without symphony,
No life without harmony,
And without YOU there is no ME
Whenever I lift up my hands,
You showed me the right path.

The essence of your presence,
Gave me the energy to move forward
And, I moved forward......a lot.
When I not knew what to do,
You were my guide.

You taught me the LIFE
And what is wrong and right,
Whenever I went astray,
You were always by my side.
Even when I fell,
You pushed me forward.

In my life you taught me,
Never to look backward.
In this vast ocean,
You taught me to swim,
Walking hand in hand.

You helped me to win
And when I flew high,
You were my feathers.
Also, today you are my feathers,
I will reach there,
My destiny, to my dream.

You taught me,
To stand proud, in all my endeavours
So I take this moment,
To thank you with all my heart,
Thank you for being with me,
As a light, right from the start
And hence I say,
Like, there is no music without Symphony.
There is no life without harmony
And without YOU there is no ME.

My Aspiration

I need to have a beautiful flower
With fragrance of all the perfumes of Arabia
I need to see some more moonlit nights
Shedding light on my uncertain life
I need to drink water from all the seven seas
furnishing me with unique cheer and health
I need to view all the great wonders
Of the world that i have never seen before.

I need to possess the ocean of knowledge
And drink it to its last drop
I need to enjoy all the sensual pleasures
And like a migratory bird I need to
Fly the North, East, West, South
When the seasons change

Muhsin John Kurishingal

Yours and yours and yours

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours.
