For better or for...Verse

Walk through this world with me...

2010-03-19T19:59:00.003-11:00

Walk through this world with me,
Don't ever let go.
Stay by my side each day,
Show me how to love you, more and more!

Walk through this world with me,
Be my God, my teacher, and more.
Inspire me to be a better person,
Help me to learn and grow.

Walk though this world with me,
Show me how to serve.
Bend my heart to be humble,
Teach me patience, kindness and love.

Walk though this world with me,
Till my end draws near.
Then, call me Father to you rest.
For I am your child, your child so dear.

Peace

A dream forever.
A secret wish.
A repeating thought.
A persistent issue.
A contrast of views.
A troubling topic.
A continuing saga.
A need for decision.
A time for discussion.
A surge of emotions.
A raise of voices.
An outburst of resentment.
A scene of drama.
A break of hearts.
A crash of dreams.
A loss of words.
An absence of thoughts.
A cry for peace.

Death, thou art such mystery

2008-06-25T13:02:00.004-11:00

Death, thou art such mystery
Thou maketh every Man history.
Thou knocketh at my door
At an hour I do not know.
Thou sendeth me to a deep sleep
And leave my people to mourn and weep.
Thou cometh and bringeth everything to an end...
Art thou my enemy? Or art thou my friend?

The time is now...

2008-05-23T22:06:00.002-11:00

You heard the call.

You had the dream.

You saw the vision.

You can feel it within you.

The time to ACT is NOW...

A test, is it?

2008-04-22T11:43:00.002-11:00

Why do I feel how I feel about you? Why this anger and unrest within me?
Why am I on the verge of turning over, into a person I never thought I would be?

Why are you putting me to the test? What do you want me to do?
Please be aware that it's not doing me any good. Or does that not matter to you?

I feel so rotten deep within me. There's a horrible feeling surging from within.
It's a feeling that I've never ever felt before. Haah! Now you sure know each and everythin'.

I don't even know what I want to say to you. But I am deeply hurt, you should probably know.
And in case, you ever realize what I feel, then do something in your power to change the way of the flow!

And if you think, you are going to just stay and not pay heed to my plea...
Then, soon the sheep will have moved into the dense darkness, far far away from the shepherd's watch and keep!

The end has come

2007-03-03T15:47:00.000-11:00

The end has come.
The story has ended.
The dream, shattered.
And the love…destroyed.

The end has come, o woman…
Did you see it coming?
Did you imagine what it could do?
Did you ever think it could happen to you?

But come, it has.
And look what it has left you with?
A wrecked life! A broken heart! A wounded soul!

O! How I want to laugh out loud looking at you and your plight now!
How I want to tell you how stupid you were to believe in love!
How I want to declare to the world, how the songs of glory you sang about love have now lost its melody!
How I want to show the world the tears that rest on your cheeks!
How I want to show the world how your heart, in pain, weeps!
How I want to show the world your pretence, while you hurt deep within!

And how I want you to know that... true love long ceased to exist!

It probably, never did!

Shane – God’s gracious gift

2007-02-11T02:55:00.000-11:00

The call I heard, one fine day,
As the Lord, He spoke to me.
I didn’t know where I was heading, then,
But He showed me where I was meant to be.

He unveiled His plans, with a path to match,
As I let Him guide me along.
I asked Him for the gifts of judgment and wisdom,
To help me pick, right from the wrong.

He said to me, “Shane, you are my chosen one”,
“A shepherd, to all of my sheep.
Far from the evil ways and works of this world,
Safe, my people, you must keep.”

A prayer I make to the Lord above,
“Give me the strength, each day,
Be at my side, through darkness and light,
As I tread on my mission today.”

On this grand day, as I pledge my vows,
My commitment to the Lord to keep,
I’ll remember that I’m Shane - His gracious gift,
He’s my Master, and His people, my sheep!

This verse was composed for Fr. Shane Verghese, on the occassion of his Holy Ordination.

Hasta la vista...

2007-02-08T00:08:00.000-11:00

Goodbye for now, I had to say, to my lover & my friend...
But this, I know, is just for a short while, 'tis just a turn around the bend...

Time will go by sooner than I know, and soon our paths will meet...
Till then, he will reside in my heart, as the sound of my heartbeat...

There he will be, till the end of my life...till the last breathe I take...
There will he be, till the end of my days, till the last move I make...

And when the distance grows painful, and the silence...too much to bear...
I will remind my self, that his love was, is and will always be there...

For my Love...Adios Amor! Hasta la vista...till we meet again!

After I am gone...

2007-01-24T13:07:00.001-11:00

This day may be the last I am seeing,
As I may not live to see tomorrow.
A few hours hence, in my coffin I'll rest,
Leaving my beloveds in sorrow.

They may weep and mourn and cry and ache,
For 'me', who by then would be gone…
They'll remember the moments I last spent with them,
Going back to the day I was born.

They'll stare at my picture, be filled with grief...
As they look for me in my room.
So the very next day, they'll surely appear,
With candles and flowers by my tomb.

I may want to break free, and reach out to them…
To wipe off the tears from their face,
But it seems far too impossible, now,
To drown in their warm, loving embrace.

Their pain I may not stand to bear,
And so I will say to God,
"Please fill their hearts with hope and courage."
And He'll reply in an affirming nod.

Suddenly we'll be so different,
Will feel like a world between us,
We both would have lost each other then,
Now, isn't that what death always does?

Within moments it will all be finished,
As I will return to dust,
But I have always loved you,
And this, remember, you must.

I may breathe the last of this world,
This can happen any time, any day,
So hold on to me and cherish me,
Cause all I may have is today.

To have and to hold...

2006-12-18T06:50:00.001-11:00

Two people come together, their love to pledge for life,
To unite in marriage for ever, as Man and as Wife.

This day forward you will live, to have and to hold,
When you and I become ‘us’, sorrows will divide and joys, multiply a double fold.

So may you journey through life together, taking every step in sync,
May you cherish each other forever, and enjoy a love everlasting!

Should there come a time, a stormy weather, when you run low on love,
May He shower you both with some more, from the heavens right above.

And may the years of your lives go by… living, loving and thanking Him for one another…
Knowing there couldn’t be a better someone, cause you two were simply made for each other.

Dreams...do come true!

2006-09-28T23:29:00.000-11:00

I wonder if you'd ever believe me,
If I'd say that dreams come true.

Cause the ones that really happen...
Are just a handful and few.

But when I say, I'm one of those...
Who're living a dream for real...

Just turn around, and say to me...
"You sure are a lucky gurl!"

You Created Me

2006-07-31T20:26:00.000-11:00

The mountains so mighty...
The oceans so deep...
The flowers so pretty...
The vallies so steep...

You made them all,
And then created "Me"...
I have, yet, no idea,
The powers you've gifted me!

You are not the first...

2006-02-15T23:29:00.000-11:00

You are not the first...
Nor the last, will you remain.

To experience a heartbreak,
And go through the pain.

Words of consolation,
May seem surreal and untrue.

They'll seem cold and inappropriate,
For all that you're going through...

And so I'll make a heartfelt prayer,
In the silence of my day.

May God give you the strength
And show you, the way...

May He heal the wounds of hurt,
May He wipe your tears all dry,

May he restore the smile over your face,
And bring back the sparkle in your eye!

This verse is for all those hurt in love, heartbroken and unable to love again...
Know, that the SUN will shine out every morning, despite the darkness of the night!

Under a different name!

2006-02-15T23:20:00.000-11:00

Different names we give our faith.
But still cry out to GOD.

Different ways we worship him,
But still He is our Lord.

Different prayers we’ve learnt to say,
Voicing the desires of our heart.

Different festivals we celebrate,
With fun and merriment a part!

Different books and scriptures we read,
Yet the message is the same.

Why don’t we instead, embrace HUMANITY?
It’s the only binding religion - under a different name!

She

2006-02-15T23:14:00.000-11:00

She walks like a ghost
In a world of her own
Her hair is messed up
And her clothes, they’re torn.

Her stature is small
And frail she looks
Gullible that she is
Always bullied by crooks.

Nothing to call her own
Just a corner down the lane
Drown into her eyes
If you wish to see her pain.

She lives on the hope
That God’s children are good
If not some money
They’ll give her some food.

She mumbles to her self
And people call her mad
They ridicule and condemn
This woman, so sad.

No one really bothers
Not one ever cares
All they have for her
Are hard inhuman stares.

But she is far humane
Than these people, and how,
Shares her little grub
With a dog and a crow.

Disaster Quakes!

2006-02-15T23:06:00.000-11:00

The ocean beds roar.
The crusts, they crack.
The seas surge, the waters rise,
As if to devour the world.
Hundreds and thousands of unfortunate souls
Drown in a mighty wave,
Thrown over land…
To wash away all,
Sweeping away a civilization.
Cries of help, wringed out of shock,
Leave behind corpses,
For all the world to see,
The numbers rise.
The count, still on...
Fishermen, tourists, inhabitants of the coast,
Now…the faithful departed.
Nature has shown her wrath.
She is mighty and forceful.
We are small, inconsequential.
Do we still dare to prove our power?
The milk of human kindness
Flows out of the human heart,
The people of the world now offer help.
They’ve forgotten all their misgivings.
While people mourn,
Life resumes.
What has gone,
Will soon…be forgotten.

May the souls of all those who were devoured by the disastrous Tsunami rest in peace.
While we assure ourselves that they have been reunited with The Almighty.

I hear voices…

2006-02-15T22:57:00.000-11:00

A drop of blood flowed out of him,
The world rushed to his feet.
My son, he bled to death for you…
At his tomb was placed a wreath.

My children learned to be forthright and honest,
Values that you learnt, too.
But when their life was put to threat,
Where on this Earth were you?

I live in a land, where fear precedes life,
While you rest in the comfort of your home,
While you crib about fanciful comforts of life,
In a moment I could be gunned or stoned.

He traveled by the bus with a bomb beneath,
That snatched from him, his life.
The last he said was, “Honey, am coming home”
Now his widow, once his wife.

You are a Hindu; you are not like me,
I am pure, you are unclean,
Wash yourself off the saffron,
Or later, you may label me cruel or mean.

Don’t speak of missionaries or Judgment Day,
We know you are out to convert,
You anyways do not belong to our land,
Remember, this is our share of the Earth.

Preach your lessons of goodness,
To some other fool around,
We only believe in nuclear strength,
To the end, we will stand our ground.

In the name of Jehad, you killed your brother,
You believe yourself to be the chosen one,
But remember there is something called Kayamat, too.
When you will be accounted for all you’ve done!

They spoke of peace and love to all,
They left examples to follow,
What lessons to learn! What scriptures to read!
The world lives a life that is hollow.

Live a life free from sin,
Change your wickedness, you must.
The greatest religion is humanity, my friend,
One day, we must all return to dust.

I won’t love you anymore

2006-02-15T22:50:00.000-11:00

I want to cry, but the tears don’t come,
I’m wondering what to do,
The past and the future, are worrying my present,
And I can’t stop loving you.

For you, it seems all so easy,
To just deny it all,
But I am the one, who is troubled,
I want to scream, yell and bawl.

Why on Earth are you pretending?
To be so free and cool,
I know what your heart is going through,
Did you think you could make me a fool?

Or am I still misunderstanding you?
Is it something else on your mind?
It’s strange you want me to leave you,
"New love" you want me to find.

When I am working on a solution,
To a problem, that only seems to be there,
It’s so mean of you to end everything,
It’s really so unfair!

If an ‘end’ is what you’ve asked for,
Then that is just what you'll get,
I am going to change myself,
Take it from me as a bet.

Now life will take us along,
Two paths that will never meet.
I will erase your sweet name,
From the sound of my heartbeat.

We will never be together,
Even if the Gods want us to be,
Try as hard as you may,
Now, you’ll never get to me.

Into the skies...

2006-01-19T19:09:00.000-11:00

I looked up into the skies,
It promised me all of my dreams.
And that I would see my self through,
No matter how hard life seemed.

I looked up into the skies,
And its vastness told me that I could fly.
No matter how weak or strong the winds were,
My wings would take me high.

I looked up into the skies,
And I knew I’d get where I’ve wanted to be.
But dark clouds got in my way,
And then suddenly, I just couldn’t see!

As I look now into the skies,
I am now flying to my dreams.
A little anxiety, but loads of joy,
Oh, how my heart now beams!

Composed for my self! Ode to my dreams...

I will always be there for you

2006-01-19T18:30:00.000-11:00

My first ever...

I will always be there for you...

You and Me can never be,
This is something you must know.
You and Me can never be,
Like how we were before.

We were so very different,
And yet so similar.
Enjoying each other’s company,
We grew so close and dear.

Trust me dear, I will miss you,
Wherever I may be...
And so I will remind my self,
That ‘we’ could never be.

It hurts to see you go away,
Nor look, nor say a word,
But I will not hold unto you,
You are as free as a bird.

Come to me when you're sad or troubled,
Think of me when you're blue.
Take this as a promise, beloved,
I’ll always be there for you.
