A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.

A.l.o.n.e
Being alone is not just a word
Being the one that just can’t be heard
Is an elevation of loneliness inside
That makes a person’s outlook almost impossible to find
Being alone is not a principle act
Being alone is a factual fact
Being alone has an intense feel
That can’t be ignored since it is real
Being alone is a colossal mistake
Being alone just can’t be faked
Being alone is an emotionless sense
By which makes a person feel expressively dense
Being alone is living in a single solitary side
That makes this person want to always be secrete and hide.

The Very Thing That Makes You Rich
My father told me, lying on his bed of death,
"boy," he says, "woman she's gonna make it, don't fool your self
'cause she's got something to make a man lay that money, uh, right in her hand
And the very thing that makes her rich will make you poor
The very thing that makes her rich will make you poor"
That's right!
Well, i put you behind the wheel of a deuce and a quarter, yes i did
Had you living like a rich man's daughter, yes i did, i sure did
While you were living high on the hog
You had me down here scuffling like a dog
Well, the very thing that makes you rich makes me poor
The very thing that makes you rich makes me poor
Don't you never ever make such a bad mistake
You know i'd rather climb into bed with a rattlesnake
Then to work hard every day bringing that woman all my pay
The very thing that makes you rich makes me poor,
Makes me so damn poor
The thing that makes her rich makes me poor
The very thing that makes you rich make me poor
Very thing that makes you rich makes me poor
Makes me so damned poor
Money won't change it, no no...

Taste Or Life?
They say honey is sweeter than wine;
Many say kiss is sweeter than wine!
Some are fond of sweet taste in all;
Many like hot taste in food we eat ever.
Taste is just a flavour of coffee we take;
Tasteless food nobody likes at first ever;
But food for living life cannot be ignored.
Sugar coated pill makes us take medicine;
Just like that taste makes food delicious!
Taste various from person to person ever;
Hence one man's food is another's poison!
So also taste for poetry, novel and articles
Say about one's mind, heart and soul ever;
More than taste food for living is fine ever!

Everybody Wishes
Everybody wishes for
that one special person
who will light up their life.
That one special person
who will take care of them at night.
They ask no more
than just one love
to wrap their arms around
and in winters to keep them warm.
Just that one love
to comfort them in any storm.
That is what everyone wishes for,
but some seldom find
that just one love
that they are wishing for.

That Person You Are
Sometimes I sit with wishes,
Wanting you to be someone different...
Than the person you are.
I have my fantasies of you being,
Warm and romantic.
And you finding me...
A delicious meal to eat.
And when I pray before I go to sleep,
I pray for someone other than you...
To show up in my dreams.
Someone that has your qualities...
But without your moods and distant attitudes.
Sometimes I sit with wishes,
Wanting you to be someone different...
Than the person you are.
And yet that person you are,
Is the one I fell in love with.

A Lonley Girls Wishes
a lonley girl wishes for one thing,
and one thing only,
to end her life,
only one person can changer her mind,
her lover,
because a lonley girl wishes for,
someone who can love her without being told,
someone who is warm and not cold,
a lonley girl wishes to be treated like gold,
they want to be loved,
they want to be held,
a lonley girl wishes to be out of danger zones,
they want no more than to die or be loved,
i would know,
i am a lonley girl and these are my wishes.

What is love
Love is just a world. Love is a feel. Love is strong. Love can make do things that you thought you will never do. Love makes you happy. For love you would give everything to be happy. Love make like your flying. For love people can live with out eat or drink. Love is give. Love can make you give up something so that person you love can be happy. Love makes you grow up. When you fall in love grow up because you think about the other person feel. Love makes different size and shaped of world. People not choose who to love and love come when you not think about. Love is everything. Without love the world will be like living in bad place to live.

Rainbow wishes
Rainbow wishes
Have you seen high up there in the very dark sky
Shining through stormy drops of heavy rain
Appearing like a colored stream
A rainbow inviting our imagination
To make us wish wishes full of dreams
Looking up there into the very dark sky
Seems as wonders could take place
Where does the rainbow come from
To make us wish wishes full of hope
Blinded by lightning up in the very dark sky
Us humble humans take shelter
Measuring tremendous strength of nature
To make us wish wishes full of caring
Astonished eyes search the very dark sky
Wondering why such beauty from above
Touches lightly our beloved earth
To make us wish wishes full of love
Watching slowly the incredible shades
Now definitively fading far away
As the rainbow disappears into cloudy sky
To make us wish wishes for a good earthly life
(2008, Switzerland)

Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.
Sunny Day Thoughts
The sun’s shining bright
The clothesline is full
It makes me feel happy
Not a moment is dull
As I woke up this morning
A life check I did
Yep, looks very good
All important things said
My marriage is happy
My kids doing well
My grandkids are healthy
They make my heart swell
Today is my birthday
Happy Birthday to me
Mamta sent sweet wishes
From across the sea
It just can’t get better than that
And before the day’s through
More birthday wishes will come
Saying, “Happy Birthday to you”
Ah yes, sunny day thoughts
And birthday wishes
For all those who noticed
I send big hugs and kisses!

Life Is Just Life
life is neither a heaven nor a hell.
not a puzzle to get displace.
life is life n only life
which we have to live n survive..
life is not a trauma of tumult..
nor of sporadic spryness or sundry sadness
life is living n to live is life
life is not a season of summer or springs..
or of being at shed or scortching heat
life is what it is l-iving i-t f-ullest e-clatically
is the message it gives..
life is not a sea of sorrow or plethora of pleasure
nothing so special nothin to err
life is living n only living..
& the one who defines it, does it for living
life is not a boon nor a bane
& nthng being so estrange
life is to live n to live is life..
& living life makes us suffice.........

The now in the noise in the ripple
It is this interest in the
now
in the
noise
In the ripple of the concrete splash
As the stone is dropped
in a running river
It is not the tomorrow or even the tonight
Of our wishes that is making me live,
In fact our wishes about another nice evening
In the garden’s candle lighted dinner
Is what makes me leave, that will be too much
Honesty for me, it is the life of my lies
That supplies blood to the veins of my existence
I do not have life since then, living has been so
Miserable, your touch is pain, your gaze is pain,
Your asking me how am I, is causing me pain,
I am not true to you, I am not yours anymore,
It is pain, it is this pain, that must decide,
To live like a coward or die once like a brave man
I am a shameless man, and you are too honest.

Give Love Another Try
After all pain and suffer you been put tooo
Give love another try
I promise you that I won't let you fall down
Take my hand and take this chances while we can
I will make you feel special, happy and smile again
Make our wishes come true
God bless the broken road and
Lead us into each other
Please stand back up on your feet and
Give love another try
You will miss all good times
You will have with me because of past
You shouldn't let this get to you too much
You making yourself all sad and miserable
It's time to let it go
That person was jerk for doing that to you
Deep inside I know you're a great person that I want to love
Don't lose your chance to be with me
Because you will regret this for rest of your life
You will keep wonder
I know what's like from my experience
I miss on a great person
I don't want to get hurt from him or any other guy so
Give love another try

My Death Is Coming Soon
My death it is coming soon
I can feel it in the air
And I know that I will not be missed
Even when I am lying there.
I have tried the best in this life
And I helped out all that I could
But when it came my time for help
I looked around, and no one stood.
I don't know who I am anymore
I know that I just don't belong
So when I leave this world I wont care
Because I believe my living was all wrong.
My death it is in my dreams
So in reality I am dying everyday
I have pleaded and begged to everyone
Even to GOD I fell to my knees to pray.
I wished that I would be missed before I was gone
I wished someone in myself, would just believe
But all I hear is that I didn't miss much in this life
But they never had to plead, what about me.
If I were someone else it would be a different story
Their life and memories wouldn't be at the end
Someone would be there for them each and everyday
And everywhere they look, they would see a friend.
My life is coming to an end
Everyday I feel the coldness that much more
Now overtime that I look, I am alone
As no one sides with me, no one has done before.
Why must one person in life be treated so bad
Why must his dreams and wishes be washed away
Is everyone else wishes more important that is
Should his dreams and wishes be all erased.
I am told to wish and dream what others expect
Even if its the dreams and wishes that others had
But then all theirs smiles have been from yesterday
And yesterday was the time that made me glad.
My life is almost at its end
I can feel the people walking on my grave
And one thing I do know, it is I will be replaced
And truly I wish everyone a happier and peaceful day.
So why must I be treated the way that I am
I truly do try my best to help people in this life
To see them smile and not to hurt anyone
What wrong could be worth that simple price.
So I wish my life was a better time
I wish and pray that all treated me like a friend
And I wish I wasn't used or took advantage of
And sadly, I wish that my life wasn't coming to its end.

Is It?
Is it perserverance
That makes us strive and achieve success?
Is it guilt
That makes us try again when we give up?
Is it practicality
That makes us learn from our mistakes?
Or is it pigheadedness
When we can't reach success
Or whining
When we feel like giving up
Or carelessness
When we make mistakes we shouldn't have?
~
Is it mercy
That makes a person end the life of a pained and ailing family member?

No right
The person has no right to speak
When physically and mentally he is weak
He will not only be off the road
But also trouble others with so many loads
Life and death is known cycle
That is repeated after regular interval
No one is spared from that divine circle
Either it comes peacefully or with lots of trouble
No one can take shelter under the excuse of grave loss
Whether it is loss of person or with holy wish of cross
One has to bear it with peace and stand with calmness
There is no other go than to keep little restrain on face
Life may be felt as living hell
There will be no one to whom you can confide or tell
Yet it is not desirable that one must resort to alcohol
Loose the common sense and strike against wall
It is really unforgettable experience
Once has to under go it with patience
Life partner was towering strength
She had matched on every wave length
If one has really to pay for beloved
It must be befitting and not showed
She must be remembered every time
When you realize that her wishes are fulfilled sometimes
Respect her wishes that were disclosed to you
Taken in confidence with pledge you were to pass through
Simply lying unconsciousness on the road is no solution
That marks end of your respect committed for resolution
Let people resort to alcohol free stage
Where he can show wisdom with the age
Time and again people may remember good quality
Not what you do out of despair as bad quality
We are human being and now for sure
That life is like bubble and nothing is granted for sure
One may depart early or late as per His wishes
We are here to fulfill whatever we can in time and finish

Someone Comes Along
Every so often
Someone comes along
That makes you want to sing a song
Or laugh and be free
They fill you with glee
A person who can brighten your day
A person who always knows what to say
From time to time
A person will appear
Who makes all worries disappear
This I know is true
Because that person happens to be you

Good? bye
Is there any good
In goodbye
Most of the time
It makes you cry
Makes you think
That this is the end
Of something you thought
Was everlasting
Is there any good
Tell me please
For when it said
My heart sinks
To my knees
What kind of person
Could make up or say
Such a word
A person who reallly
Never cared
