Never thinks of being happy, with what one possesses

Everybody dreams
Throughout the life
Always searching
For better living
Fulfilling the desires
Remains the motive
Discontentment comes
When the same is not achieved
Frustration creeps in
Misery sets in
Happiness not to be seen
Keep sweating
Lose sleep
Priorities keep changing
Every day
Wishes increase
Loses peace
Lives in agony
Ready to compromise
With unholy deeds
Forgets the path of god
Wanders like a fraud
Cheating himself
To fulfill the endless wishes
Never thinks of being happy
With what one possesses

No! Keep It

Why are you smiling so broadly?
It is clear you have been prevented,
From achieving your wishes and desires.

'Really?
Gee, I didn't know that.
And which wishes and desires,
Am I being prevented to achieve? '

I uh
Only you would know that.
Maybe those who are trying to prevent you,
Know that too.

'You might have a point.
Who are they? '

The ones preventing you from achieving!
You know
Your wishes and desires.

'Oh!
So
Maybe I shouldn't smile so broadly,
To have anyone detect
My wishes and desires have already been met.'

No!
Keep it.
Let them believe you are crazed.
They think it anyway.
But lose that skipping down the street business.
That will really throw them off.

'Hmmm
Maybe you have a point.
Maybe I'll go back to my arrogant strut and swagger.
You know
The one they associate with pretentiousness? '

If I Am Not Seen Following You

My heart that beats,
May to you have no purpose.
Or my emotions felt,
To you may not be shown.
But what is known,
Without you condoning it...
Are wishes and dreams.
And although different they may be,
Every wish I dream seems to be mine alone.

I live with a desire to fulfill,
Those adventures that appear...
To have my signature on them clear.
And if I am not seen following you,
On a path you pursue...
That should leave you a clue,
My life is mine to live.
Just as yours is for you to do,
With wants and wishes made to come true.

Life..?

A life that I live for my dreams,
A life that will extend far beyond my realms..
A life to live without anything to fear,
A life to fulfill the wishes of my dear...
A life that has meaning even though not understood my most..
A life like a wave, stumbling to reach the coast..
A life of solitude desired by none,
A life of peace in search of someone..
A life that in size small might be,
A life which forever, end will never see..
A life in which luxuries might not be there,
A life in which happiness is everywhere..
A life in which the value is of time,
A life till its end will always be mine..

When Misery Surrounds

When
Misery surrounds
One forgets
It is a part of life
The mind is baffled
Loses its peace
Clouds of fear
Covers it
The heart cries
The eyes shed tears
Nothing pleases
One prays to god
End the agony
Make the life rosy
Enrich the face
With a big smile

Fate; not the only thing to depend upon

All we have some desires
Some wishes and ambitions of our own
But when it cannot be achieved
We say, we are unlucky
But fate is not the only thing to depend upon
So why it is said 'Man is the Architect of his own fate? '
Surely there should be no doubt about it
Need to keep faith and increase our confidence level
Need hard effort and labor
As 'Industry is the key to success'
So man can achieve his desires
By not depending on fate
But by trying and working hard all time.

Just Do Your Deeds and Be Done With It

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
Why struggle against ignorance...
When the force of it,
Can create powerful setbacks.

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
Without the need to seek attention.
Your deeds done will speak for themselves.
Leave them to do what it is to benefit!
And go.

Those living to fulfill an ego,
Will never understand...
Why their lives lived,
Have less peace in them!

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
That is all The Almighty requires.
And this 'Deity' is the judge of your soul.
No other opinion does The One solicit!

Just do your deeds and be done with it!

I'm On a Wow

I keep my loved memories...
Near me.
Ready to fill what had been...
Empty.
And happy I chose as a need,
To believe...
A life wanting happiness is...
The key!

And all woes I hold,
I can let go...
With a feeling of freedom to heed.

A life wanting happiness is...
The key!
A step that erases defeat,
That creeps...
Inside of a mind out of reach,
That weeps...
On a shoulder one wishes to seek,
And grieve.

And those who hold woes,
Can let them all go.
If they choose a freedom to heed.
With a happiness that's believed.

I keep my loved memories...
Near me.
Ready to fill what had been...
Empty.
And happy I chose as a need,
To believe...
A life wanting happiness is...
The key!

And all woes I hold,
I can let go...
With a feeling of freedom to heed.
I'm on a wow.
I feel so happy I can leap.
I'm on a wow.

And all woes I hold,
I can let go...
With a feeling of freedom to heed.
I'm on a wow.
With a happiness that's believed.
I'm on a wow.
I feel so happy I can leap.
I'm on a wow.

I keep my loved memories...
Near me.
Ready to fill what had been...
Empty.
And happy I chose as a need,
To believe...
A life wanting happiness is...
The key!

And all woes I hold,
I can let go...
With a feeling of freedom to heed.
And a happiness that's now believed.

No Way We Can Lose

There can be no answer for us all
There can be no stopping what is ever changing
Living for the perfect dream
Its time to make a resolution
There will be some peace in our hearts and our minds
We can all find a way to resolve our differences
Theres no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
Theres no way we can lose
Ready or not
We can all find a way
We will be forgiving to the ones we love
We will see the blossoming of the new spirit
Shaping everything to our design
Well build a brighter future
We will free ourselves from the chains that would bind
We can all find a way to resolve our differences
Theres no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
Theres no way we can lose
No way we can lose
Ready or not
Ready or not
Theres no way we can lose
We can all find a way
Ready or not
Ready or not
We can all find a way to resolve our differences
Theres no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
Theres no way we can lose
No way we can lose

Tiger Dreams

Little diamond in the rough
borne of joy and other stuff

Sleep, sleep, sleep
to where your secrets keep

For everything your heart wishes
is just what your life promises

Yes, like a tiger with wings
you can do anything

No, neither fool's farce, fog or fire
can keep you from the well of desire

Where dreams, secrets and wishes
you lap up like little fishes

Now soon you will awaken
and that is when you will make them

Come True

Wanting 'Things' Never Seems To End

Teased with a wish of wanting 'things',
Never seems to end.
Until an aging with maturity begins
And the payments of keeping those dreams,
Seem to numb when they come...
With the changing done to one's priorities.

And difficult as it is to focus,
On that which one wishes brings happiness.
With that eventually happening,
To surprise one wanting just the basics of life...
Over the obtaining of having things just to keep,
After addressing the impression made on others.

To recognize the difference between wants and needs,
Is the first step in weeding away fluff stuff.
And that which feeds on ego with late charges to make,
Attached to overdraft fees.
Awakening to the basicness of happiness,
Relieves one from nightmares of attempting to make ends meet.

Broken

I'm A Lonely Road Of
Broken Dreams

Its A Boulevard That
I'm Searching For

These Stars Are All
So Dull

Its The Moon That I'm
Searching For

Happiness Is So Angry
At Me

Its Life That I'm
Searching For

There Is A Crowd
Around Me At All Times

Its a Friend That I'm
Searching For

My Life Is Just Like
Path

Its A Destination That
I'm Searching For

Don't Know What Is It
That I've Lost

May Be Its 'ME' That
I'm Searching For! !

Longings

How many dreams really come true?
Not too many I'm sure.
You can probably count them on one hand
and not one finger more.
Seems like the ones you wish for so hard
are never in your sight.
You can wish in the morning and in the noon
and while in bed at night.
And you wake up knowing they can't occur
and that they're all in vain.
You think you'd wise up from all of this
but still the wishes remain.

It's time to stop wishing the impossible.
It's time to face the fact.
If you need someone else to fulfill your wishes
you're on the wrong track.
You need to stop hoping for the impossible
and get on with what you've got.
Shut the lights on those wishes
and let your stomach unknot.

Blue Lit Clouds

How my mind travels
And longs to be among the stars,
With the blue lit clouds
Surrounding me,
As I listen to all the wishes
That has been wished upon each star,
And only hope that they may be fulfilled,
Because everyone deserves fulfillment
Within their lives
To reassure themselves
That there is still hope to be sought,
And there is still time
That their wish can be fulfilled,
But not because of some higher power,
But simply because
They believe it can happen
And they have found
The strength to believe
In themselves and with that strength
Were able to fulfill their wish
On their own and on their own doing,
Because they now know in order
To fulfill themselves,
All they have to do is
Fulfill their wish,
Which they wished upon a star
One night when everything
Seemed less than they wanted,
When they realised
They can be more than they were then,
And after this sudden revelation
They wished,
They wish upon a star.
Which is why my mind travels
And longs to be among the stars
Because each star, to me,
Represents all the dreams and wishes
Of all the people on Earth,
And it fulfills my wish,
Which I wished long ago
On a star high in the blue lit sky
That I may never be alone.

A Little Merman (Fun Poem 51)

Just beyond the reef
where the little fishes swim
there lives a little merman
and his name is Gunga Din.
He frolics in the ocean
from morning to night,
playing with the mermaids
is his hearts delight.

One day while playing
on the ocean floor
Gunga din found a bottle
with a Genie trapped within.
He opened the bottle
and set the Genie free.
The Genie then said to him.
“Three wishes I now grant to thee.”

“Three wishes? What are those? ”
Gunga Din asked the Genie.
“Wishes are made
for anything you want,
and then I will make them come true.”
“But I have no need for wishes.
I have everything my heart desires.”
“But surely there is something
that you would like most of all? ”

Gunga Din shook his head.
“There is nothing I require.”
“Nothing? ” Asked the Genie.
“Nothing.” Gunga Din replied.
“You see Mr Genie
I have everything I need.
I am completely satisfied
with everything I have got.”

“The oceans are my gardens
to play around all day within.
I have plenty of friends
to keep me company.
So what do I need your wishes for?
I have everything I’ll ever need.”

“But I must grant you three wishes
for setting me free
and If you won’t take the wishes
I cannot be free.“
Gunga thought for a moment.
This cannot be right.
Everyone must be free
to do as they wish.

“Get back in the bottle, Mr Genie.
I’ll take you to some distant sandy shore.
I’ll put you on the beach
for someone to find.
I’m sure in that greedy world out there,
that there is someone
who will take up your wishes
and set you free.

On A Path One Has Cleared Of Thorns

Desiring a life to accomplish what one wishes,
Is a challenge against those odds...
That come to discourage,
The one who remains focused.

Obstacles impossible seem to pop from everywhere.
To test emotions and one's endurance.
And anyone who has ever faced opposition knows...
Friends can become unconsious foes sometimes.
And those thought to be foes...
Eventually become those who are the most close.

One truly doesn't know who 'is' or who isn't...
Until it is recognized,
The one who has lived a life dedicated...
Being who they are from the beginning,
Becomes more appreciated by those...
Who acknowledge a life lived devoted,
Is not a bed of roses...
On a path one has cleared of thorns.

Desiring a life to accomplish what one wishes,
Is a challenge against those odds...
That come to discourage,
The one who remains focused.
On a path one has cleared of thorns.

My Wishes Would Be Limited

What I want...
Has a lot to do with you.
If I was not inspired,
By your desires...
My wishes would be limited.
I admit that.
And it is true.

You provide an insight,
That enlightens.
And brings a brightness to my heart.
You may not be aware of this.
You may even dismiss it!
If I should address or mention it!

Yet...
What I want...
Has a lot to do with you.
If I was not inspired,
By your desires...
My wishes would be limited.
I admit that.
And it is true.

I may not be on your mind at all.
And that is not a request,
I sit with in wishes.
However you do it...
And by the way you get that done,
Has a quality.
And for me from you...
That is all I need!
You 'are' who you are.
And that alone feeds me.

I Smile

I smile to cover the pain
I smile to hide my misery
But I'm tired of life and I wanna die

I want to escape from this hell Im living in
Will someone please take all the pain away
Take me to a place where I can be set free

Never again to know this agony
Never again to know the shit he puts me through

Take me to a place where I can be myself
Take me to a place of love & peace
Take me to a place where I can fly

There is only one problem
He lives off my pain, agony, and misery
He smiles at the site of my pain
But I just smile so no one can see the shit he puts me through

When I smile I turn into a different person
When I smile I lose another piece of my being

Every time I smile I hope someone sees through me
Sees through this fake skin and saves me before I die

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!

Happy [ness]

Happiness is having your true desires,
becoming real, and having more conspire.
A dream is achieved, you think it's for real,
then you see it's not right, that's not how you feel.

I would be lying if I said I didnt like material things,
But that doesnt cause happiness, there are only yearnings.
Happiness is achieveing Love,
whether its in a another person, or the Man above.

Think about how life makes you feel.
is it empty, is that what it reveals?
You need love, let it in
you'll be happy, find it within.

H is hope
A is amused
P is purpose
P is progressive
I is intrigued
N is need
E is endless
S is satisfaction
S is simpliciy

Good luck achieving happiness,

I prmoise you there is a purpose.
