A dear daughter
My dear daughter
Don’t burst into laughter
I was never been running after
As you are under my shelter
It is usual and routine advice
You should not take it as surprise
As all other parents do
I think the same and it is true
You occupied mind all the way
I had no inkling or other say
I wanted it to happen in casual manner
Still I felt someone one was trying to hammer
It may not be legitimate concern
I never wanted it to take seriously and warn
It may be next as my turn
My fingers were not to be allowed to burn
I have tried several times to peep your mind
I was not at all disturbed or unable to find
You were at your usual show
I could see you to excel and grow
Though I distinguish no difference
Still I try to draw inference
I need nobody’s reference
I was worry free and not feeling tense
Only some parents may be lucky
The question is very tricky
It may have several angles
But we had formed very good triangles
You were my only star
We never wished you to be very far
You may fly away from us one day
As you may have your own way
As the luck would have it
W are still healthy and fit
We can take enough care
And shall be very fair
We are not very much possessive
But in some way very assertive
We always think positive
Rest all have to be your initiative

Tell Me
It is good to ask “tell me”
But you have been allowed free
Don’t ask often to lady
They are eager but moody
It is good to be possessive
But not be so obsessive
You show all your feeling
When she is for you and willing
It hurts a woman when asked repeatedly
Some relations are just accepted happily
It is sacred and must remain so
Undue haste and pleas must go
You make it more narrative
Hence it becomes less subjective
You become possessive
And try to be assertive
This creates some tension
It raises lots of questions
When woman in question is ready
You must be careful and remain steady
Some of the paths are to be guided smoothly
Remain at arms length but truthfully
It adds sweetness in relation
Every time good feeling with lots of excitation
Listen to what she says or murmurs?
Try to be attentive and peacefully hear
Some new message may be for you
She may find you real and very true
Such is delicate thread of relation
It has enough of joy in revelation
One must be really assertive when required
Trust her completely without being inquired

A mental injury
I never wanted to cause any mental injury
I was capable of judging event as jury
It could have created adverse impact on mind
As true lover I was in position to find
It was never intended to harm
I was in opinion of keeping relation warm
Still there was come circumstantial compulsion
The straight answer was ruled out of question
I used to maintain calm posture
It was adding to the confidence for sure
It is said that one should be very much assertive
That makes him to think and act positive
I kept this slogan in mind
The suggestion meant to be very kind
It was way out for future course
Else it might have resulted in possible curse
It send wrong signal when actually not needed
The advice sometime falls on deaf ears and not heeded
It is misfortune that corrective steps are not contemplated
The complex situation is created even though was unrelated
It helps a lot if you resort to mild smile
The tension is removed for sure meanwhile
Your opponent may be forced to think differently
The visible anger is removed and seen apparently
I took full care to see that she was not placed in trouble
I realized that love was momentary like water bubble
It was pure body love and infatuation
The likelihood of its failure was emerging as situation
It might cause lots of problem and awkward scene
I realized the consequences and worry was seen
I did not want it to happen to her as good friend
Even though it was likely that relation may end
I was not comfortable either to sense
It was out of tune and complete nonsense
I truly believed in equal response with respect
I felt it was inappropriate on her part to act
She did force for quick response with no planning
It was just a first at sight and a new beginning
Though I loved her equally and wanted to go far
It seemed to me an improbability to become star
No doubt she might gone out of way
Had shown me bright hope with golden ray
Still I felt it unreasonable to involve in fray
A person that was likely to force her to stay away
I consider myself as tough person
I don’t what may be the solid reason
But inner voice sometimes compel me to think
This is right omen for a person before he chooses to sink

One Day
CHORUS:
One day you'll see that you be
Who you wanted to be
Meet who you wanted to meet
Just one day you'll see
And one day you'll see that you
Feel what you wanted to feel
Meet who you wanted to see
Just one day you're free
Once again it's the R.O.C.K.
So check what I gotta say as we go my way
Get ready for a journey an expedition
Just listen or you will be missin'
A lot of times I know you feel like giving up
But listen up everybody while you move that body
I got a story to tell so listen well
Only you can be you when it's time to excel
Many might try but you don't know the reason why
They might deny they don't want you to fly
So you gotta move on and show 'em
You got it goin' on and on plus your mind is strong
Now this is how I get busy on the daily
I kept this in mind so you suckers can't fake me
Rise and surprise everybody like me
Cause one day you will see you will be how you wanna be
Repeat Chorus
I remember days when people used to say
Stop wasting time and find another way
They never understood no they never took time
That the R.O.C.K. was born for the rhymes
I kept my mind focused and I went for my direction
Microphone checkin' was my only selection
My eyes on the prise I was on the rise
Everytime you see me now you wanna say hi
You don't even know who I am
So take all your plans and scram
You don't understand
2 brothers On The 4th Floor with only one sister
Wanna make moves yo just like a twister
So if you're with me raise your hands in the air
And wave 'em side to side like you just don't care
Rise and surprise everybody like me
Cause one day you will see you will be how you wanna be
Repeat Chorus twice

A daughter loves her parents more than a son
A daughter loves her parents more than a son
But parents love their son more than their daughter,
After his marriage a son becomes a wicked person,
Then a son loves his wife more then his parents,
Over heard by his wife he pushes his parents out of home,
None gives them shelter in their old age except GOD,
Daughter will pity on them and she will welcome,
As they sow so shall they reap the crops,
Every one should be careful for action- re-action of life,
Today we disobey our parents tomorrow our sons re-act so,
Hence we face the same journey of our life's strife,
If we take care of our parents the same God will do,
We surely get what we do in the kingdom of God,
Carefully with guilt and virtue God has made a bod.

Who Must Take Care of Old-aged Parents?
Which child will care for parents when old-aged?
Which child will show compassion and respect?
Which child will find the time to talk kind words?
Which child reciprocates their affection?
Gone are the days of joint family system!
Gone is the sense of values in people!
Gone are the times when blood was quite thicker!
Gone with the wind is honouring parents!
Have parents not showered love on children?
Have they not slogged to give them life's comforts?
Have they not nursed them whenev'r they fell ill?
Have they not done their duties to their kids?
The world today is selfish to the core;
Children just want the wealth of parents old;
None volunteer to tend to old parents;
Children show scarce love to their parents dear!
What has then come upon children today?
Who should take care of parents, elderly?
Should not one's children take care of parents?
Much love seems lost in families these days!

I was little there were times I wanted my parents to be normal. I wanted them to have a religion. I wanted them to have a job, like the parents of every other kid I went to school with.

All She Wanted
She was a good girl
Been true to herself
Never swayed by the notions of somebody else
Shed had it rough, maybe most of the time
With only one thing on her mind
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
Who was tryin to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin, lovin man
There could be blue skies in her heart
She was waitin for the good times to start
She never wanted diamonds
She never wanted gold
She was holdin out for someone to hold
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
Who was tryin to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin, lovin man
A loving man
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
Who was tryin to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin, lovin man
Loving man
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man

I'm Not The Girl, You Think I Am
why is everything you say,
turn out to be not true?
i'm not the girl who will turn her back,
i like to think of myself as the girl,
who fights back,
i'm sick of getting taken advantage of,
but in a way,
that was kind of my fault,
i allowed it to be okay,
just like i allowed myself to give up on life,
weak moment, it felt so right,
i wanted this to end,
but, than i wouldn't win,
the chance to be treated fair,
when i did everything you asked of me,
2 weeks later, there was more to do,
do you think i would give up?
thoughts come to mind,
but, i remember where it gotten me,
coming back at you stronger than ever,
because this is my life to control,
not yours to be prisoner,
i may cry when everything becomes too much,
but, it gives me the power,
to never give up my fight,
i'm going to take what i deserve,
because i've been through enough,
once we done, i want nothing to do with you,
you did me no good,
except see that all people can't be trusted,
along the way, i found who my true friends were,
that the best present i can ever ask for,
i guess things do happen for a reason,
and that god hate ugly people,
when your time comes,
he will have a payback for you,
but, for right now,
i just have to be patient.

Father –in-law’s and mother-in- law’s daughter is a daughter-in-law
Father –in-law’s and mother-in- law’s daughter is a daughter-in-law
In the long and short journey of life one has to read the same law,
Even the daughter-in-law should not treat with them just like a saw,
She must think that her husband’s parents are like her own parents,
Action and reaction we can see soon infront of our eyes and mind,
And every one has his or her law and so let us always live by a law,
A good son-in-law does not deserve for any kind of dowry to find,
He too considers that his wife’s parents are just like his own parents,
A daughter is born in her own family and lives in the another family,
All will weep to see the changes of her life from the starting to an end,
If that new family members are good for her she lives very happily,
Otherwise in every walk of her life she suffers and herself will tend,
All daughters have to face and face to cross the same path of life,
The Nature itself will pity on them to see their difficulty of life’s strife.

All I Ever Wanted
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
Too good
You could
Be so misunderstood
Snow pure
Demure
Don't feel so insecure
Heaven would be lonely without you
You satisfy the need in me
No-one makes me feel the way you do
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
Maligned
You'll find
A strength to ease your mind
Trust fate
Relate
This trial you'll tolerate
Summer would be bitter without you
You satisfy the need in me
Sunshine couldn't warm me like you do
Devotion's what you read in read
All I ever wanted
Was to be with you just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you to be free with you
Review
Brand new
You know you'll see it through
From now
I wow
They'll take what you allow
Paradise so dreary without you
I couldn't last a day without you
Nothing else could take the place of you
You know I wouldn't stay without you
All I ever wanted
Was to be with you just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you to be free with you
Yeah be with you
All I ever wanted
Come on be with you
To be free with you
Totally with you
Hey be with you
All I ever wanted
I believe in you
I believe in you
Hey hey yeah
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you
Just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Want to be with you
Got to be with you
All I ever wanted
Was to be with you
Just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you
To be free with you
Yeah be with you
All I ever wanted
Come on be with you
Be with you
All that I want to do
Hey be with you
All I ever wanted

Everything that I do
Yes I do it for you

Up and Forget
One goes up and forgets
Make room for others to let
This is cycle and comes true
In everybody's life as it is very much due
Past may make you unhappy
This type of agony is suffered by many
Old age may be come shadow
Get larger in size to be looked from within in window
Children fly off and go far
Leaving behind tales of sky and star
All beautifully narrated when they were little kids
Now we have to look towards them for any lead
They are on their way out
They have nothing to take care and worry about
Marry and keep happy with the family
Leaving behind curse and things considered to be silly
Old may find it difficult to look for golden days
There was time when they had enough time to find the ways
Now what is left behind except to look at sky?
Make the futile study of what is not done and why?
No need to go through ordeals and punish self for nothing
It was your duty and you had strived for something
It ahs been achieved and cycle is repeated
You are left alone but not badly treated
You will be given all the comfort with peace
Life will be in isolation but at ease
It is time to remember and go through spent years
Listen to good or bad words that others may strike in ears
Abandon no hopes as it is routine and casual
It always takes place in its course as usual
Spend the time with happy mood and excel
Laugh it out at past and smilingly reveal or tell

A bad dream
I hastily stepped out from bed to ponder over
It was bad dream and I started to find cover
It made me restless and compelled to wonder
I rubbed the eyes and regained composure however
It happens many times when you are seized with work
So many times you may trying to avoid or shirt
It does not relieve you from burden and chain of thoughts invade
The memory is fast recycling and not easily fades
It is human mind that works as super computer
It adjusts very fast and compels the situation to alter
It argues in favor and against in protective manner
It keeps hope alive and does not make chance thinner
Dreams are in fact a safe refuge or heaven
We are the king and also beautiful queen
The whole set up revolves around and make us proud
Your voice is heard clear and loud
It is replica of sound and healthy mind
We have enough space to find
We can have level field to play
It keeps you linked and do not push away
It is said that when person is gripped by fear
He may not be in position to think or shed tears
He will have no place to put his views
The dreams may provide him enough time to review
It is by product of active human psychology
Mind does not rest even if raised in bogey
It strikes back to find the reasonable solution
It will not rest until finds out with strong resolution
I think over endlessly over the state of mind
It some times cry and try to act very kind
If something wrong is done unintentionally
It will try to satisfy logic by reasons finally
It is right application at right moment
It does not disturb the normal movement
The ups and down may force to think
But the stable mind may not allow to sink
The unstable mind sometimes pushed person to brink
He may loose the power to balance and properly to think
It is progressive thoughts that come to the rescue
This is considered as positive step and may be had by only few
So the dreams are healthy sign of mental order
It takes active part and always ready at border
The slight palpitation may push it to strong action
It will be sound and positive reaction
It is always good to sleep without any tension
The mind may be occupied with lots of questions
Still it is wroth try to be worry free
It is nice idea for all of us to agree

Whenever We Wanted
We werent afraid of nothing
Wasnt nothing we couldnt do
She held her breath once for seven minutes
And never turned blue
She could burn a woman down
If she felt shed been unkind
Or if she thought she was coming on to me
It drove her out of her mind
Chorus:
Oh yeah, its true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, its true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
She was my very best friend
My biggest enemy
On judgement day we could go either way
It was all the same you see
She was not afraid of satan
In fact she thought he was a joke
Said shed tear off his tail
And run her fist down his throat
Chorus:
Oh yeah, its true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, its true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
She was the apple of temptation
The apple of my eye
Used to rest on a bed of burning coats
Every single night
And I know shes out there somewhere
Shes wrestling in the bones
With confetti in her hair
You can bet shes not alone
Chorus:
Oh yeah, its true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, its true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, its true
We just did what we did
Did what we did
Did what we did
Hell, we just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to

Man On The Side
six numbers
one more to dial
before i'm before you
i tried to call
been busy all night
gave up waiting at daylight
excuse me mrs. busybody
could you pencil me in when you can?
though we both know
that the worst part about it
is i would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me
oh, i am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
i am the one who will swallow his pride
life as the man on the side
one of the many
but one of the few
to stand back and wait for you
excuse me mrs. busybody
could you pencil me in when you can?
though we both know that the worst part about it
is i would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me
if you wanted me
oh, i am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
i am the one who will swallow his pride
life as the man on the side
life as the man on the side
i fell in love with a dream that i built of you
playing the part of the queen
taking my own advice
i'm giving up tonight
good luck to you and the king
excuse me mrs. busybody
could you pencil in?
though we both know that the worst part about it
is i would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me
if you wanted me
i am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
i am the one who will swallow his pride

you know life as the man
living life as the man on the side

And I asked
How are you and where are you? ‘
Would you mind if I ask something to you?
Urge ran high so I asked you,
Do you think it right if I so ask you?
You were so nice and dear,
You are far away but still I could hear,
Pain is running high but I will have to bear
I can find no means to stay very near,
Did I try to displease or tried to offend?
I have lived so simple and also tried to mend
flowers and roses have found their way
I could find no easy way to offer or say
I dreamt about you and thought of your glamour
You may be as beautiful and delicate as flower
I wanted to ask you the same for an answer
I was hesitant to get reply from you however
I could make little imprint in the mind
I tried to draw different lines to find
Exact picture of you for my satisfaction
Still it was distinct possibility and out of question
I asked the one from you for simple reference
You were annoyed and drew different inference
You were averse to meet my demand
You gave cold reception and took me to remand
You declined for a simple photo,
Even I had no bad intention or motto,
still asked for a flicker,
But alas! You proved as tinker,
had it not been the business in your blood?
You would have rushed to me like flood
Since I was sincere and gentleman
You were acting s perfect business woman
Do you consider love as commodity?
Do you find nay use in its continuity?
I have always considered it as strong bond
I am like fish and can’t live without pond
It must result in happiness with a reality
It has to be reunion with rare quality
Let us not create any rift or look with farce
Let all heavenly bodies smile at us including
I have found in you always a rare treasure
it gives enjoyment which can’t be measured
Safety and security I always assure,
but you buckled under normal pressure,
what would happen next I don't know?
In a prayer I wish her happiness and bow,
Still it remains mystery for no reason
It can puzzle me more as person
You may stay calm and cool,
All will be fine and I only remain fool,
I wish it to happen sincerely
It will be good combination and considered rarely

Blessings in disguise
No one may say" don't do this"
No one may say" don't do please
This comes from excusive domain
Parents, friends and relatives form this chain
It is show of closeness
Near affinity and shown on face
Only known people may try to guide
You too may seek their advice and confide
You like it so much as it has no selfish interest
People come forward to show the way with trust
It is always nice to feel with their presence
There is honest backing with least worry hence
Up to certain age it comes with little compulsion
That stage is crucial for you and full of confusion
Some one is needed to provide you exactness
The room for modification and correctness
Life doesn't end with their advice alone
So many mistakes might have been committed and gone
Yet that is advantageous stage to seek always
From them and feel worry free for the stress
Chase the goal but backward too
Many may watch you from close quarter and want to go through
With all its glory and excel
They may only come to you and delightedly tell
You may be lucky if this help is available
Many may be down with lots of troubles
Timely help is not afforded to them in time
So it is blessings in disguise sometimes

They Don't Last Forever
They give you a life they look after you,
To them you're their reason for living,
Whatever happens if troubles ensue,
They'll be caring and always forgiving.
Do they own you or is it the other way round,
In fact neither statement is true,
Parent child relationships were made to astound,
You love them and they'll always love you.
They will want you to achieve so much more,
Regardless you will fill them with pride,
With you they will have a unique rapport,
Their devotion will never subside.
They'll try to teach you about good and bad,
To ensure you avoid all their mistakes,
They'll forever be there be it happy or sad,
A good parent just never forsakes.
Yes there'll be times they will get annoyed,
You will bring them to total despair,
Any troubles you have they will never avoid,
For you they will always be there.
You may well think they just interfere,
Their aim is to cause you great strife,
As you grow older it will become clear,
They just want you to have a good life.
They'll try to put up with your mood swings,
Watch over you each day as you grow,
The good times and problems another year brings,
Their love you will feel and will know.
Embarrassing you is a parents right,
There'll be times they will drive you wild,
Regardless of that they will never lose sight,
That to them you will always be their child.
You will do things that will surprise,
Good parents like nothing more,
What you can achieve will open their eyes,
That's why it's you they adore.
If you only strive to do your best,
Without the need for discord,
If with common sense you are blessed,
That will be your parents reward.
When you have children yourself one day
That is when you will learn,
The sacrifice your parents had to pay,
Mutual respect is a gift both must earn.
Your Mum and Dad are messengers from God,
Look after them while they're here,
What they do for us we should all applaud,
Their actions we must truly revere.
Your parents will give you love and care,
That special bond you must never sever,
God's trials of life can be so unfair,
For the pity is,
‘' They Don't Last Forever ''
Childhood
I was unable to read and understand
What were papa up to and his stand?
When he will be angry or loose temper?
When he will embrace me or pamper?
I was feeling secure and happy as child
Mother was always very kind and mild
She looked to me as ocean of love
Ready with delicious food and serve
In her warmth I could feel bright day
She was almost there to show the way
She may forgo her comfort of sleep and say
I must be good boy and attention must pay
Her words are stored as unforgettable memory
When she is not seen around I feel so sorry
I search her here and there with utmost concern
So many things I had yet to follow and learn
Papa sometimes come heavily on me and scolds
Mother at the same time come and warmly holds
What a greatness to shower love with difference?
One must understand and draw lesson with inference
Papa seemed to me very harsh as head of family
He used to hold my hand firmly for mistakes silly
Mother may not interfere and make father angry
She may feed me with love when I felt hungry
Still I felt immense love for father
He was determined to take me further
He made me to look different from others
So I should be of my own and needn’t bother
As parent they taught me lesson with high morality
They did all they could do as per their ability
How to express why I hold then in high esteem? |
May be their intense love which to me possibly seem
Many children may not find situation like this
They might have lost parents and surely miss
Childhood is most important thing to cherish
Their sweet memories remain and don’t vanish

Jenny, my love
She used to be always there waiting
She did not want audience or dating
Yet she desired me and wanted me very near
She could not confess it out of fear
It is generation gap and she is progressive
She is very shy but bold and assertive
Not a single topic is untouched by her
She has repeatedly uttered it here
I confessed of having some attachment
She would not say anything and offer comment
I had left it entirely to her conscience
She was free to express from now hence
“Why don’t you visit my country and see your self”
Full of landscapes, beautiful mountains lovely beaches and shelf
I was dreaming about it and going down
She was spell bound and made it known
She smiled and offered me safe refuge
I had all along wished and could not refuse
She had poor back ground hence little hesitated
I was thrilled with whatever was told and related
Have you ever experienced love with age difference?
What can be learnt out of it with right inference?
Is it matter of shame or to be proudly claimed?
I felt it was not shame and not to be maimed
It might have little sex angle but not wholly
She understood the danger and spoke fully
It is neither her intent nor desire
She was there for me and wished only to admire
I had made myself little known
She felt me exclusively of her own
Love can not be one sided or false show
It had to be mushroomed and grow
I preferred not to look back and accept
Whatever she proposed with promises to be kept
We weighted pro and cons so later on not to be wept
After so many years of sultry isolation I enjoyed it and slept
What did she understand about the meaning of life?
Was it not hostile and dangerous to be on edge of knife?
What did she expect to be borne out of it as new comer?
Was she prepared to be bathed in hot sun and at the peak of summer?
Everything seemed irrelevant to her mind
She had eternal joy and fulfillment to find
I was to prove a crucial factor in coming days
It was her choice and go ahead with challenging days
I never found her sobbing or regretting
She was making her view known and letting
She was prepared what she termed it as real
There was no point in hiding for putting seal

A love poem for my wife
When the time comes
That I become a very sick man,
Unable to do the usual things
Expected of myself and the demands
Of your sweet society, when I no longer smell
What men smell of women
Their underwear and underarm
Deodorants titillating to our masculine
Desires, when I no longer find
Motels as interesting places
To make more stories or
Those dark secret places of two hearts
Where names and age and reputations
Are irrelevant, when the time comes
For me to kneel and pray and
Find the usual places for solitary
Old men facing the final curtains
Of the play, please my dear
Be gentle with me,
I may have lied, and pursued
What made you mad
But you must know the eulogies
Of the rotten flesh and
Distinguish it from the hymnal truth
Of the spirit
I am not afraid to profess
I have not loved so true
Other women than you.
