Dream your dream

2008-12-22T00:59:00.000-08:00

Close your eyes my little one

Close your eyes and dream

You can be anyone,

Anyone you dream

You can go anywhere,

do anything,

meet anyone

Just close your eyes and dream your dreams

Let your imagination take control

Take you on adventures never told

Just close your eyes my little one

Close your eyes and dream with me

You can fly above the mountains

You can swim beneath the sea

Its a great big world before us

Come along and dream with me

You can swing from every tree top

You can conquer every fear

There’s no need to be frightened

You’re not alone here in your dreams

Just open up your mind and let your dreams flow through

ts a great big world around us

Come on along and dream with me

Sweet dreams my little one

The Sun

2008-12-03T01:02:00.000-08:00

When the sun goes down,
The sun is jealous of the moon
When the sun goes down
The sun will have his revenge soon
When the sun goes down
The sun puts in plan in hand
When the sun goes down
It rises up again

Life

2008-11-25T17:26:00.000-08:00

Life is like the waves it has its ups and downs
Life is like a roller coaster it has its twists and turns
Life is like a sport it just depends on what we play
Life is like a game of poker it just depends on what we are dealt

Life can be given life can be taken
Life can be a curse life can be a blessing
Life can be a pain life can be in sain

Life has its ways life has its days
Life has its love life has its hate
Life has its gentler touch but it has its harder punch

Life brings you your knees when you feel in need
Life brings you a lot of things
but in the end it depends on what we do

Mystery of pain

2008-11-03T04:58:00.000-08:00

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.

It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.

only the blind can see

2008-03-22T00:10:00.000-07:00

The air we breathe cannot be seen
And yet it fills our breasts
The stars so high we cannot touch
But we admire them never the less

The depth of the world is oh so shallow
For we judge only what is in sight
If we close our eyes and open our minds
It will be revealed that night is day and day is night

Nothing is what it seems
If you trust in only with your eyes
Open your heart and release the spirit
Leave behind the tears and cries

True joy can only found
If you take the time to look deep within
The outer appearance is only a shell
While the truth is under the skin

Distance in fact is many miles
It is far if that is what you see
But if you look with your heart and not the eyes
I'm as close to you as you are to me

Acceptance prayer

2008-03-18T20:42:00.000-07:00

I accept myself completely.
I accept my strengths and my weaknesses,
my gifts and my shortcomings,
my good points and my faults.

I accept myself completely as a human being.
I accept that I am here to learn and grow, and
I accept that I am learning and growing.
I accept the personality I've developed, and
I accept my power to heal and change.

I accept myself without condition or reservation.
I accept that the core of my being is goodness and
that my essence is love, and
I accept that I sometimes forget that.

I accept myself completely, and in this acceptance
I find an ever-deepening inner strength.
From this place of strength, I accept my life fully and
I open to the lessons it offers me today.

I accept that within my mind are both fear and love, and
I accept my power to choose which I will experience as real.
I recognize that I experience only the results of my own choices.

I accept the times that I choose fear
as part of my learning and healing process, and
I accept that I have the potential and power
in any moment to choose love instead.

I accept mistakes as a part of growth,
so I am always willing to forgive myself and
give myself another chance.

I accept that my life is the expression of my thought, and
I commit myself to aligning my thoughts
more and more each day with the Thought of Love.
I accept that I am an expression of this Love.
Love's hands and voice and heart on earth.

I accept my own life as a blessing and a gift.
My heart is open to receive, and I am deeply grateful.
May I always share the gifts that I receive
fully, freely, and with joy.

Think Big

2008-03-18T20:34:00.000-07:00

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you won’t.
If you like to win, but don’t think you can,
It’s almost a cinch that you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,
For out in the world you’ll find
Success begins with a person’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

For many a game is lost
Before even a step is run
And many a coward fails
Before his work is begun.

Think big and your deed will grow;
Think small and you will fall behind.
Think that you can and you will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think that you are out-classed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the prize.

Life’s battles don't always go
To the strongest or fastest man
But sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person who thinks she can.

rainbow bridge

2008-03-12T09:17:00.000-07:00

there s a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth
Its called rainbow bridge because of its colour s
Just this side of the rainbow bridge theres a land of
meadows greens and valleys with lush greeen grass

when a beloved pet dies,the pet goes to this place
ther s always food and water and warm spring weather
the old and frail animals are young again,Those who
are maimed are made whole,They play together all day

there s only one thing missing,They are not with
Their special person who loved them on earth
Each day they run and play until the day comes
when one suddenly stops playing and loooks up
The nose twitches!the ears are up!the eyes are staring!
and this one suddenly runs from the group

You have been seen,when u and ur special friend meet
u take him or her in ur arms and embrace
ur face is kissed again and again,u look once
more into the eyes of ur trusting friend

THen u cross the rainbow bridge together,
never again to be seperated

Lost as a light is lost in light.

2008-03-12T09:06:00.000-07:00

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

2008-03-12T09:04:00.000-07:00

Things that go 'bump' in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It's the hole in each ear
That lets in the fear,
That, and the absence of light!

JOKER

2008-03-12T08:53:00.000-07:00

I am a joker
with a smiling mask,
not a magician
but almost as amusing.

Thrown on the stage
to make you laugh.
The jokes you hear
are a kind of prayer,
a communication to God
my struggle to survive.

My mask vivid and colorful
reds and greens and yellows,
let the dark remain hidden.
Read the animated expressions
don’t look into my eyes
or I may crumble down.

Raise your hands
for a huge applause,
and grin, whistle and make my fun,
that’s what I am here for.

Please don’t sympathize,
don’t come for a handshake,
and don’t ask me how I feel,
don’t chase me behind the curtains.

I am a joker;
don’t ask my name
I don’t remember.
I was born normal
but its what they say
I don’t really know.

One day the show will end for me
but you won't get a clue.
What you recognize is a mask
that will be passed on.
The agony of death
I will bear alone.

lonely

2008-02-17T11:16:00.000-08:00

I am lonely and confused
I wonder about my journey thru life
I hear my heart beating
I see hurt and pain
I want it all to go away
I am lonely and confused

I pretend I’m floating
I feel the sun on my face
I touch the sky
I worry what happens when I don’t try
I cry in the dark
I am lonely and confused

I understand my responsibilities
I say what I want and how I feel
I dream of running away into the sunset
I try harder
I hope to find the light
I am lonely and confused

cast-away soul,

2008-02-14T22:23:00.000-08:00

I'm floating on a cloud of mystery, questioning my destiny, confused by my history.
stranded on the isle of the present.
the castaway soul on the edge of existence, but not letting go.
Counting the heartbeats, charting the time,
measuring my misery, looking for signs.
Searching for dreams with enchantment,
vision distorted, in need of enhancement.
Only the lonely conceive what it means to be me.
Only the faithful can fail and yet still believe.
Only the strong will survive, but I feel that's a lie,
because I am strong, does that mean I won't die?
Does that also mean that the strong don't cry?
If so, then why does it rain from my eyes?
Should I accept the most basic explanation,
or come to my own divine revelation?
While floating on clouds, suspended in reality,
the cast-away soul,
questioning destiny.

WHEN DARKNESS BECOMES YOUR COMPANIO

2008-02-08T07:21:00.000-08:00

When everything goes wrong
And there’s no melody in the song
When the world turns a foe
And you feel extremely low
When the reason to smile
Is left back far a mile
You want to cry
But don’t know why?
When you are betrayed by someone
And he gives you a run
When those gruesome thoughts
Occupy your mind
And the right direction
You can’t possibly find
When your inner soul
Bears all toll
Your past begins to hurt
With present not referred
Amidst the crowd you feel lone
Your self confidence is all blown
And you strive
To live each day of your life
Darkness becomes your companion
Its then you begin to love darkness
Which one fails to confess
You hide yourself from the glittering lights
And at this time nothing seems to be right
You don’t want to pair
And feel happy in despair
That little sunshine coming from the side
Pinches and pains your eyes
It’s the power of the golden silence
More musical than many violins
It let goes those tears
And sheds all the fears
It shares your burden
Not understood by anyone
Nothing confronts the agony in you
But the darkness loved by few

destiny

2008-02-08T07:19:00.000-08:00

fluttered,cloyed,i retire
wiNgs to wishes i no longer desire..
the purpose is lost,the hopes fade
the palace of dreams shall never be made..

restles mind,
does'nt know what to find...
not the hunger .nor thirst
enough of those outburts..

incompetent .hapless self
it cant get worse...
angels and castor
laugh at my disaster..

end of my story or a rebirth????
such moments do have a worth..
when nothing to gain,and nothing to loose
you seem to fall in love with the blues..

no complaints ,no regrets
its my destiny i beget...
as i close my eyes for a better tomorrow
being miles away from all the sorrow...

lifeless leaves

2008-02-08T07:15:00.000-08:00

To crush a plant you had sown
just because you cant own..
the seed of love
planted with heavenly blesings above..
Just to see the leaves wither
the force of wind it cant bear..

the rains this season
sloshed the plant for no reason..
Dreams of sugary fruits
turned sour under the foot..
the bud of passion was innocent
Bloomed sans guilt or hatred..

and as i look now at its state
feels ruthless and quaint..
will never touch the mud again
have no right to give leaves so much pain..
Wish could gift away my tree
in safe hands its future could be...

but the selfish heart
wont let me part
the fragrance of love is no more alive
the leaves this season live a lifeless life!

well written

2008-02-08T07:12:00.000-08:00

she came alone in this marketplace
knowing not a single face..
yet smiled at hundreds
wishing her nutrients to b fed..
pamper and love were her demands
wished everyone in the family to become her fans..

as she heard the fables and tales
behaving a princess infront of her pals..
seeking beautiful dresses
wishing mum to call her gorgeous..

then the competition at school
to be the most popular and cool..
some more marks and lots of adulation
from god she wanted all kinds of congratulations..

from earning big bucks
to have a gracious luck..
wanting the best mate
wishin a wonderful fate..

glory, husband a loving family
to live in her abode happily..
with carrer reaching its peak
the wishes never seems to go bleak..

no disease please,begged she
to ahve a name n fame, worth see..
even at 40 she went on her knees
wishing all difficulties to cease..

lived her life all these years
had no more aspirations or fears..
but the wishes never had an end
prayed to have her eyes closed peacefully on the bed..

this horse named wishes is never tired
with lots to expect and beget..
all her life it ran and ran fast
pnly to catch up a breath at last..

magic eraser

2008-02-08T07:01:00.000-08:00

need a magic eraser
to expunge my mistakes
in my whims,
belying truth, i opted fake

smooth was the jouRney
as i sailed high
succumbing to my desires,
thought peace i could buy

but as i look back now
to see how many storms i bore,
have been stripped grosely,
left to an inconsipicuous whore

all my my fantasies turn into agony
once i fell into the trap
kept assuring myself
of something i never had

i got a magic eraser
to expunge my mistake
and realised my life is left nothing
but a blank, blemished page!!

KNOCKED!

2008-02-08T06:59:00.000-08:00

knocked once, knocked twice
armed with vile and vice
bled innocense, bled togetherness
sans thy confronting presence

blown to bits, blown to tatters
at the end of it nothing matters
stood up then, stood up now,
unable to find, what trigerred the row

gaping wound, gaping eyes,
after a point, the tears become sublime
waited for it, waited long for it
only to be hit and kicked

tracing peace, tracing desire,
lighting the lost sparks of fire
it rained heavy, it rained futile
cried and consoled for a while

gave up the chase, gave up strength
twisted at each blend
got up once, got up twice
to fall back in the pit of cries!

the war of villiful voices!!

2008-02-08T06:44:00.000-08:00

blithering teeth, persisiting voices
stripping the mind, echoing noises..
insipid talks, insane laughs
naming the tall, a giraffe..

the fools make merry
in their shouting frenzy..
no flies, no ants
have the almighty potential to stand..
flashing their venomous smile
accompanied with the villiful vice..

blithering teeth, persisitant voices
stripping the mind, echoing noises
battling against the angst inside
hard to bear, hard to confide..

the noise of 'cluttered' thoughts
not once, not twice, million times brought
grilling with gritty emotions
disturbing, the dillusioning visuals..
no help from this, no help from that
but to yelp amid the cacaphony of lame lads

{sitting at d last bench,, listenin 2 a repetitive lecture..n d result is dis!!)

infected

2008-02-08T06:38:00.000-08:00

the soul lies jaded,
all my hopes are faded
in the shallow night, i dig the silvery moon
to understand the dark, in its shimmery arc

this sleep wont help,
makes me yelp
i want to lie on the green grass and pluck it hard
i wish to taste the soil, and feel its warmth in my blood

close my eyes,
to the music of rain
caressing, crystallising
this oblique pain

i wish to slit the veins
to gulp some air
open my heart out,
free of this despair

swim to the puddles,
swing to the branches
i am nothing but a pert of another
infected ranches!!

Strangled by my emotions-colLecTIONS

2008-02-08T06:30:00.000-08:00

Strangled by my own emotions I lie
Trying out to figure out why
Why am I misunderstood always?
Stabbed every time on my facE
Like a gaping wound my heart bleedS
Will anyone understand my need
I committed no crime no murder
Nor did I do a blunder
Yet my soul is abrasively crucified
And I receive no respite
Memories of the past cant go of my mind
Reasons and explanations I fail to find
Future seems all bleak and dull
All I do is sigh and lull
Not a ray of hope do I find anywhere?
Lost and defeated in the trail
Don’t have the courage to get up again
All my efforts will end up in vain
The seasons change, the flowers bloom
But I stay exasperating in my room
Crying and sulking all day long
Everything appears just so wrong
My own life becomes a piece of burden
It happened all of a sudden
Everything seems all fake and myth
The person whom I shared everything with
There exists no word as trust for me
The same relationships can’t ever be
I stand aloof all by my side
Waiting for the end of my ride
Strangled by my emotions I lie
Bidding everyone goodbye ….

High!

2008-02-07T21:26:00.000-08:00

Let me take a puff of pleasure,
feel the smoothness
feel my own world..
hmmm, let me fly
let me touch the sky
dont hold me,
i am not yet high
it's just a pinch,
death is far,
i wont flinch
let me take a puff of pleasure,
feel my head spin,
there is nothing to lose,
everything to win..
hmmm, let me fly,
let me touch the sky
dont hold me,
i am not yet high...
it' my friend,
oh it's just my begining,
there i promise,
it will never be the end..
hmmm, let me fly
let the thousand lights flash by
oh hell, let me feel high...
let me take a puff of pleasure.
just a pinch of weed,
just what i need..
glory beyond words,
smiles and laughter unheard...
i see them all cry,
while I laugh,
while I feel high..
let me touch the sky..
let me sleep,
let me see...
let me learn...
how to die..

The things I love with a passion

I rock and roll with passion
I talk out my soul with a passion

I eat good food with passion
I defeat bad mood with a passion

I sleep well with passion
I weep hell with a passion

I dream endlessly with passion
I gleam ceaselessly with a passion

I aim for money with passion
I do the same for honey with a passion

I listen carefully with passion
I glisten dutifully with a passion

I search for fame with passion
I research to blame with a passion

I walk everyday with passion
I talk and play with a passion

I embrace life with passion
I face nightlife with a passion

I laugh out with passion
I chaffe about with a passion

I cook with others with passion
I look at mothers with a passion

I touch gently with passion
I clutch tightly with a passion

I work hard with a passion
I rock mad with a passion

I gear up goals with passion
I stir up roles with a passion

I make friends with passion
I take weekends with a passion

I love kissing with passion
I love teasing with a passion

I make love with passion
I take from above with a passion

If push comes to shove
Label me old fashioned
For these are things I caption
In life with all my passion

If-Rudyard Kipling

2008-02-07T21:15:00.000-08:00

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;

If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son

The Pessimist -by Ben King ~

2008-02-07T21:11:00.000-08:00

Nothing to do but work,
Nothing to eat but food,
Nothing to wear but clothes
To keep one from going nude.

Nothing to breathe but air
Quick as a flash 'tis gone;
Nowhere to fall but off,
Nowhere to stand but on.

Nothing to comb but hair
Nowhere to sleep but in bed,
Nothing to weep but tears,
Nothing to bury but dead.

Nothing to sing but songs,
Ah, well, alas! alack!
Nowhere to go but out,
Nowhere to come but back.

Nothing to see but sights,
Nothing to quench but thirst,
Nothing to have but what we've got;
Thus thro' life we are cursed.

Nothing to strike but a gait;
Everything moves that goes.
Nothing at all but common sense
Can ever withstand these woes.

death

2008-02-07T21:08:00.000-08:00

Death is not the end
Death can never be the end.

Death is the road.
Life is the traveller.
The Soul is the Guide
...

Our mind thinks of death.
Our heart thinks of life
Our soul thinks of Immortality

Friend

2008-02-07T21:03:00.000-08:00

"A friend is like sunlight,

filtering into the quite corners of ones heart,

offering bright new mornings and

fresh hope -yet

demanding nothing in return."

friendship- Terri Fanning

2008-02-07T20:59:00.000-08:00

Friendship is like the breeze,
You can't hold it,
Smell it,
Taste it,
Or know when it's coming,
But you can always feel it,
And you'll always know it's there,
It may come and then go,
But you can know it'll always be back.

Peace

2008-02-07T16:55:00.000-08:00

In seeking you will loose it

by renouncing you shall find

By exploring the world you shall learn

its all in the mind

By clinging you lose

by letting go you leave a bond

By judging you stand trial

by forgiving you abscond

Only when you face the wrong

will you see the right

Only in the darkness

darkyou shall find your light

You think you stand common

to be struggling with the lot?

You find you are all alone

triumphant at the top

What shall i gather and save

for the vehicle that won't last

let me gather momentum

for the light in me that rises fast

There is evil on both sides

which side will you fight

Peace is the way of love

Peace is the way of light

Light doesn't struggle

Light doesn't fight

Darkness is merely

the absence of light

when the light of knowledge shines

the ignorant darkness will cease

when love outshines hate

We shall see the peace

dreams-langston hughes

2008-02-07T16:51:00.000-08:00

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

listening

2008-02-07T16:43:00.000-08:00

it's far better just to listen!
The most supportive thing you can
do is to really hear.
This helps more
than anything else.
Remember to breathe.
Realize there's nothing to solve.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to correct.
Maybe even nothing to say.
Don't take anything personally.
Just be there.
And mostly be quiet.
This is actually one of the greatest gifts you can give.
For the one u luv.

time i sleep

2008-02-07T16:40:00.000-08:00

I have walked many a miles
It's time I rest a while..
shed no tears and I silently weep..
It's time I sleep..

I have seen many a dream,
not lies to what it may seem,
seen many a truth and I silently weep..
it's time I sleep..

I have heard many a story,
travelling through the roads of glory..
seen many a vise and I silently weep..
it's time I sleep..

I have travelled through time,
fallen through space,
lost what was mine
seen time change and I silently weep..
it's time I sleep..

All the World's a Stage-William Shakespeare

2008-02-07T16:36:00.000-08:00

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

you are just left
with yourself
all the time,
whatever you do
anyway,
you have got to get down
to your own God
in your own temple.
its all down to u mate,.

it is all a life
a life where its u
a nd u alone
u r the master
u are the artist
u play the game
u do ur way
life is fair
life is brilliant
for all who knows to handle it
life is pure
there is no evil
all philosophies
vanish
when we know our song
when we know our sign
when we know what
makes us tick
finding that is brilliance
don bother it happens after all!!
even if u dont
