Old age though despised, is coveted by all.

Corporal absence is good
I coveted, held and detested her.
The corporal presence is less endured;
I coveted, longed and pined for her.
The corporal absence is well endeared,
As it drops its defects being not close.

The Home Of Love
Ever since You were the home of love for me, my love has lived where You have lived. Because of You, I have delighted in the wrath of my enemies; let them be, let them torment the one whom You tormented. It was from You that they learned their wrath, and I love them, for they hound the wounded one whom You struck down. Ever since You despised me, I have despised myself, for I will not honour what You despise. So be it, until Your anger has passed, and again You will redeem
Your own possession, which You once redeemed.**
**From the bondage of Egypt.

The great art of giving consists in this the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated.

Do You Know Why You Are Unhappy?
you have always been unhappy
feeling unwanted, despised and hurt
yes, your ego is hurt
you believe that this ego is hurt
that this ego exists
try believing there is none
believe that there is no such word as
ego
try believing there is no you at all
let us see who gets the feeling of being unwanted
despised or hurt
there is none now
you see? 99% percent of what you do is for yourself
yourself
your ego and you are so unhappy, because in truth
there is no you
there is no ego
and all you did was for no one else
that is what emptiness is all about
precisely, that is what unhappiness is.

Don't Be A Scoundrel
The right infringed, the share denied,
The place encroached or the mate coveted,
One's agitated; fight or curse is left.
He is a scoundrel who subjects one thus.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

Opmeer
Tournaments,
Coveted,
A big blow!
With frequent heart breaks;
But twisted and pulled up to meet the demands of your love,
And, throughout the entire tournament!
Because, Opmeer told me about you.

Each light illuminates
Maybe it is
Two thousand watts Madhuri Dixit
That I utmost coveted,
But in utter dark,
A zero watts neighbour at wait,
I detest not.

To see a man fearless in dangers. untainted with lusts, happy in adversity, composed in a tumult, and laughing at all those things which are generally either coveted or feared, all men must acknowledge that this can be from nothing else but a beam of divinity that influences a mortal body.
Real Men
The real men today are not recognized,
For who they are.
In fact,
Those who are real men today...
Are despised for who they are.
And barred from getting their just 'do'...
And attention.
A working man who does what he can,
And without complaint as he does this...
To provide for his family.
Is rare!
And hardly seen.
A devoted husband and family man,
Is not given credit at all...
For standing tall.
As other 'men' shy away from being accountable.
While away busying themselves...
Leisurely making excuses,
To play all kinds of self obsessed, seducing 'ball'.
You name it!
There will be something entertaining,
And selfish attached to it!
And 'these' are the 'real' men...
Cheating women bar hop,
To pick and lay up with.
As they both trade their self respect,
For two minutes of unsatisfying...
Discreeted, deceiving, disease spreading sex!
The real men today are not recognized,
For who they are.
In fact,
Those who are real men today...
Are despised for who they are.
And barred from getting their just 'do'...
And attention.

A woman’s predicament
I had to forgo a painting I coveted,
For its formidable tag.
I had to forgo a tempting show
For its exorbitant cost.
I had to forgo a favourite concert
For its inconvenient site.
Don’t think that I have no heart
For I don’t get to you, men.

After heaven
We feel heaven on our way
To a coveted place
We feel heaven on our way
To win a woman’s hand.
Feeling hell will start once we got to it.

A man must make himself despicable before he is despised by others.
Little enemies and little wounds are not to be despised.
Little enemies and little wounds must not be despised.
When you are rich, you are hated; when you are poor, you are despised.
When you are rich, you are resented; when you are poor, you are despised.
