Face May Not
Face may not reveal at all
You may be inviting imminent fall
It is evasive illusion spread around
With naked eyes it is never found
Silence cuts no much ice
Sadness may reveal no break of promises
Tears in eyes may speak nothing
Bubbles appear in water to say something
We pick nothing worthwhile and fall to trap
There are wide differences in perception with gaps
We take precautions wrongly and get deception
As we trust more and falter from the inception
Face may look so innocent
It may be hiding with lots of unsaid comments
Why do we cheat others and rejoice?
Keep wearing mask over head and feel so nice
So sometimes hard faces turn mild
They appear rude and cruel but turn very kind
They speak harsh but flow with kind words
Not advise you to fall back but move forward
It has to camouflage so many things
Sometimes to be retained without any dig
It should never surface on the face
It may become known and create problem in such case
Any how face is in fact a true mirror
It may speak of any fault or error
You may find it hard to contain
Calm posture is very difficult to maintain
Only the shroud person may survive
He may hold it for long and strive
For good and healthy relation
And at the same time give no indication

Everytime I See Your Face
I was looking everywhere to find you
By and by, my intentions were good
But I know I don't watch where I'm walking
When I know I should
If the nighttime turns into day before I say what I mean
God damn all these obstacles before me, yeah
Every time I see your face, it's like Heaven opens up her gates
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes
If the quicksand of love and deception
Finds a way to come between you and me
Don't fret, I'm gonna cut through the darkness and set us free, yeah
And if you wanna just lay with me darlin, let the mystery silently speak
Take my tongue, take my lungs if you want, I'll even try not to breathe, yeah
Every time I see your face, something overwhelms my heart with grace
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes I just close my eyes
Every time I see your face
I know you are the one (I was looking everywhere to find you)
I know you're more than wonderful
I know you are the one
Every time I see your face, it's like Heaven opens up her gates
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes
Every time I see your face, something overwhelms my heart with grace
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes
Yeah, oh, oh, yeah
Every time
I see your face
Every time
Every time

So They Say
Time fixes everything,
Or so they say.
Die from a broken heart and it will mend,
Or so they say.
Watch your dreams fall apart and a new door will open,
Or so they say.
Live and love and you will be happy,
Or so they say.
Work hard and you will be recognized for your success,
Or so they say.
Forgive those who hurt you and you will feel better,
Or so they say.
Show your friends you love them and they will never hurt you,
Or so they say.
Be patient and in time you will get what you want,
Or so they say.
Sleep and you will feel rested,
Or so they say.
Let your tears fall; you'll grow stronger and not cry for the same thing twice,
Or so they say.
Write out your feelings and people will understand,
Or so they say.
Explain yourself and stand by your beliefs and you will not be judged,
Or so they say.
Keep your chin up and the sun will be back tomorrow,
Or so they say.
Be respectful and you will be respected,
Or so they say.
Follow our advice and you will go far,
Or so they say.
They say so much and expect it all to be true,
They watch us and judge our every move,
Yet still proceed to tell us how things will be okay.
They get our hopes up, they put a smile on our faces,
They act as if everything gets better.
With so many lies woven within the truths they speak how can we listen?
How do we know the truth from the deception;
The vision from the illusion
How do we trust that they will catch us as we fall,
Help us back on our feet,
How do we know when to listen and when to speak?
We'll know the answers to these questions when the time comes,
Or so they say.

The Magic Mirror
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Who’s the fairest fair of all?
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Who’s the smartest head of all?
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Who’s that girl standing tall?
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Who's to hold me when I fall?
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Why are you not answering my call?
Oh mirror...
The lines and the scars you do not hide;
My scattered thoughts you would not guide.
Me myself and I; the gap so wide.
Oh mirror; you make me look inside!
You show me a girl against the tide,
By the rules she would not abide.
Within your frame, a caged spirit am I?
By your name, what voice have I?
Oh mirror … can you hear me?
My mirror is deceiving me!
I will show you my smile... will you let me?
A star in my eyes... will you get me?
I will show you a happy face... please let me!
A shelter from myself... please get me!
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Do not show me her face;
I have killed her and left no trace.
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
She shall never stutter;
With a new voice, words she will utter.
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Her fear you shall never show;
Fearless she is to know.
Mirror... mirror on the wall,
Do not point at her scars;
It hurts... not her scars.
Oh mirror...
There is no Santa but tell her not;
Dreams are dreams but wake her not.
She will give in... tell her not to.
She will give up... tell her not to.
Cruel mirror...
Why show me a figure so broken?
Why tell me words unspoken?
My mirror...
Every time I look at you
I miss a line in her face.
Every time I come to you
A part of her I erase.
Every time I need you
I abandon her grace.
So my mirror..
Where is the little fat girl that you used to show me?
Where are the frightened eyes that used to look at me?
Is she still hiding her smile with her hand?
Is she still looking for a magic wand?
You loved her not;
You loved me a lot!
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
What have I done?
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Where has she gone?
Mirror … mirror on the wall,
Which way do I run?
Yes mirror...
How I wish I could give you my back
and never look at you again.
How I wish I could leave you on a rack
and never fall for your tricks again.
Oh mirror... Why can’t you lie?
Why don’t you tell me that I am the fairest fair of all?
Why don’t you tell me that I am the smartest head of all?
Why don’t you let me stand proud and tall?
Will you at least be there when I fall?
Oh … Mirror … mirror on the wall …
Why are you not answering my call?

Two bright eyes
Bare eyes shine in night,
look so powerful and bright
Keep staring but not made known,
Seem they are made for my own
Say not words but also not hide,
just smile broad with eyes wide,
convey deep feelings with no regret,
bright and shining eyes speak not yet,
why close eyes alone?
and face not covered,
So eyes when shut,
face may reveal,
You close the eyes,
life come to an end,
glitter and shine,
smile peters out,
find me so close even not near,
distance more but mind fear,
eyes shut but separation bear,
Near to come is idea to cheer,
You may say you are around, ,
even go round but not found
with steps so gentle on ground,
little it heard with no sound,
Oh, two eyes,
just face unveil,
lower it down to neck,
Find me there just to check,
Eyes may shine,
face may reveal,
wounds may heal,
love may look real,

Different look
She is neither a friend nor a foe
But my face always shines and glows
When see her on line with smiling face
Strong urges to talk but certainly not in race
I don’t know what pull is behind
But I have always found her kind
What a magnificent face with expressions!
I stare at her with so much of obsessions
No one would mind giving her a different look
She looks like idol carved out from black wood
Totally different from what other females may look like
Always draw my attention and get sudden strike
It is not some thing special that I wish to
State here but only what it appears to be true
She might have passed through troubled phase
But recent look gives ideal innocent face
It is nice to feel great about gorgeous woman
Even though some may point out as weakness of man
Yes sun can’t be hidden even if you try to
Whatever is seen and observed must be felt as true
I had been looking for a figure
That can speak little but reveal more
I found her to be absolutely a fit personality
Gentle in nature and nature wise having best quality
“Hanna” I would call her and respond as hello
The words may definitely reach her with fine flow
Let me see what will be the reaction of this ordinary poem
If not by her but certainly readers may appreciate it then

Unforgettable Faces
Some of the faces are unforgettable
Even you attempt to put them in troubles
They are rally very nice and kind
In their temperament and very mild
You won’t look at their any other features
Their smart dress, turn about and dealing for sure
What may be an extra ordinary behavior on their part?
The conversation with pretty smile and to start
I have seen as if flowers dropp with each word
You may see in their eyes directly and look forward
What will it be conveying in clear terms?
Only love, affection and straight forwardness in turn
We are always attracted by opposite gender
It is quite natural to feel and come under
Their impression and long for association
But after all it is magnetic pull in relation
I read a lot when they speaking nothing
Their faces reveal secrets with something
Not with helplessness but with frankness
Total truth of innocent child’s smile on face
It is divine glory that is reflected
Even if person shy off or not acted
That light is piercing through our eyes
Our fancy travel across and along with flies
We see everything except body pleasure
This it self is rare feet to reassure
The opposite gender is so much appealing
Not a bad feeing recurs and keeps on repealing
It is easy to hide emotions and feeling
But you can’t compel person to do it as willing
If he is not convinced then he will prefer to stay away
But some of the unusual things happen and show you the way

Behind the Tears
oh! great admiration possess the vantage
fruit of my command; the sweet prize
loudly speak of your victory whether day
or night you hold my tears away from
shame, as it tainted my reveal face every
time the tears fall to the ground
welcome my funny moment, where every
eyes cease no one, like crystal pebble
of tears has turn me off away far from any
misery, where I have sung the mystery of
being one with you
look back of the unspoken words, the hills,
can’t fathom the whispering wind of the
mountain call, for only the bird that swing
above the cloud bless on the sky
… for every tears dropp that falls, the lips
whisper the joy of your call…..

The Laughing World
Right now day one I fall hard when I fall
I always fall on you
Face first head down eyes closed arms out to break my fall
We fall down like a world of noise
We get lost inside the length of our own time
And the laughing world will never forget that its when you jam that I jet
I see I want I reach I fail to hold the things that I need
I turn to reach for you I want to touch our life before it fades like a burning car in the sun
We flame for the all in plain view
And the laughing world will never forget that its when you jam that I jet

Im heading for the end on top of this bullshit
I dont want to hear it.
I found my way again.
Its hard to explain it
I know that I hate it
I dont feel this could be real.
I find so hard Im falling apart
So much so much for what for what we said.
No matter what I say, you turn your back away.
Its never going to break you,
Its never going to make you fall.
No matter what I say, you turn your back away.
Its never going to break you,
Its never going to make you fall.
This fake reality I never can make up the time that you take up.
Its my worst enemy.
Im on a mission to feed my addiction.
So sick of thoughts so empty.
Its well overflowed Im bound to explode.
So much so much for what for what we said.
No matter what I say, you turn your back away.
Its never going to break you,
Its never going to make you fall.
No matter what I say, you turn your back away.
Its never going to break you,
Its never going to make you fall.
Somehow between the lines its clearer
Locked down and chained up to the mirror.
Somehow between the lines its clearer
Locked down it takes apart of me.
Im heading for the end on top of this bullsh**
I dont want to hear it.
I found my way again.
Its hard to explain it
I know that I hate it
I dont feel this could be real.
I find so hard Im falling apart
So much so much for what for what we said.
No matter what I say,
You turn your back away.
Its never going to break you,
Its never going to make you fall.
No matter what I say, you turn your back way.
Its never going to break you
Its never going to make you fall.

For The Want Of Time
I never excuse for the want of time
Even though it may very important and prime
I love some of my friends and relatives
As they are close and very subjective
I may never find time in whole life
As husband has no spare time for wife
Yet something is to be talked about
Else you face the possible rout
How can I say you keep off?
How can I that rude and rough?
Everybody is built of some fine stuff
No amount of arguments can help not even bluff
I know only mortals may remain
I may prefer to be excluded in my domain
But at what cost I enjoy the fame?
What is there good in the name?
Do we thing work may end so soon?
The sun may not have afternoon
The evening may not set in
The birds may not return and sing
I am apologetic to those friends
Do not take it to illogical end
It may be ridicule to end in clever manner
Yet the fact may be known sooner
I would love rather to hear you gently
Those words not heard before silently
How long I may have to face dry spell?
Nothing at present seems going well
I would never question brilliant face off
I have no strength to argue or scoff
Yet it pains from within not to press
Instead prefer isolation and dearly miss
No one may have time to care for
No one may even prefer to be very sure
As it will not take them to reality
Because they want to maintain good quality
I would love to talk at length
With any one who cares and match with strength
It is not the intelligence that matters most
The relation is pushed aside and remains frost
It is very hard to go on for sentiments
You may have sugar coated comments
That may not cut much deep with the ice
As it does not really match with the promises
I hope relations are weighed in any terms
It adds to some worry and concerns
Nothing goes off well with nice duration
It gives room for deterioration with some indication
I end up by saying welcome all
I regret saying it without any standard fall
I love all despite my tight schedule
I want it to be durable and ideal module
I may perish along with my brethren
It may then be smooth and happy turn
I shall bid good bye despite having no time
I shall regret only “No time” but as no crime

Welcome and keep
I would always welcome and keep
Even strangers within walls but never weep
As it may speak of double standard
Force me to think afresh and fall backward
As human being I have dreamed
Retained all sun rays which are beamed
Not for any use but for freshness like rose
It is freshness and fragrance I always choose
I would never say anyone to go
I will never shut my memory even to flow
Those things may keep me loosely in relation
Never take me off the guard and raise any question
I shall present lovely flower
Little murmur with mild answers
Eyes down with shyness on face
Clear indication of surrender in race
That may cool down the rage of enemy
Anger from friends and shower blessings from almighty
What else I need to dream in delicate situation?
I wish harmonious relation with smooth continuation
I would love to read language of humanity
There may not be any setback for possibility
As it is unexplored and barren adventure
Nothing expected in return to assure
Yet I would love to steal the show
Facilitate the river to sing and flow
Not to damage the bank and cut the edge
Request trees to lower their branches and acknowledge
I would love moon to spread silver dragnet
Fall its rays over water and reflect
To present another dubious impression
And show strong relation in emersion

Falling Down
I want to tell you, I guess its time
The way I acted was out of line
I have to calm myself once again
Its getting later, Im losing time
I want to give you the reason why
Its the only thing on my mind
I want to tell you
I want to explain
I want to tell you, it wont happen again
Ive got tears , Ive got years in my eyes
Someday we all fall down, someday we all fall down
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
You mean the world to me, it crossed my mind
The days of knowing you , youve been too kind
You cast your pearls in front of me
Guilt is complex, when I face the facts
My naked indifference, I torn off heads
I never wanted these kind of debts
Youve tried so hard to reach my core
Truth taste strange when I explore
I trip myself up when I try
Every nail is in its place I cried...
I give in to sin too soon
Someday we all fall down
Etc.

What Kind Of Fool (7 Mix)
What kind of fool do you take me for?
I don't wanna hear your reasons
I'm not giving you another chance
In my kindness you saw weakness
Time for me to make a stand
Whenever I hear your music
Singing the same old tune
You're so sure that I can't refuse it
But don't you speak too soon
What kind of fool do you take me for
Don't wanna see your face no more
You can say you'll be true, I can trust in you
But I heard all that before
Remember how I used to need you
But baby you were never there
There was a time when I believed you
But now I know you didn't care
Don't wanna hear your hard-luck story
It's the same time after time
It's too late to say you're sorry
You'll never change wrong to right
What kind of fool do you take me for
Don't wanna see your face no more
You can say you'll be true, I can trust in you
But I heard all that before
What kind of fool do you take me for
No one on earth could give you more
You would change white to black if I took you back
But I heard all that before
What kind of fool
What kind of fool
(Believed you, believed you)
(Believed you, believed you)
Whenever I hear your music
Singing the same old tune
You're so sure that I can't refuse it
But don't you speak too soon
What kind of fool do you take me for
Don't wanna see your face no more
You can say you'll be true, I can trust in you
But I heard all that before
What kind of fool do you take me for
No one on earth could give you more
You would change white to black if I took you back
But I heard all that before
What kind of fool do you take me

I Will Survive
This is a rare song from the 'Gladiator' soundtrack... the boxing movie, not the Russell Crowe movie.
------
The battle line is drawn
I dare you to cross it
You better think twice
before you mix it up with me
I won't back down
I'll keep the fire burning
As hard as you try
you're never gonna stop me now, no
You think you're shaking my innocence
but you're wasting time
Cause you don't know who I am.
I will survive
I'm driven by the faith
You can see it in my eyes
It's written on my face
I will survive
And I won't let it
fall from grace
All around the world
There are true believers
I know I'm not alone
There's someone watching over me
Ow! Stand my ground
While the world keeps turning
If I believe enough
I'm never gonna fade away, hey
You think you're shaking my innocence
but you're wasting time
Cause you don't know who I am.
I will survive
I'm driven by the faith
You can see it in my eyes
It's written on my face
I will survive
No I won't let it
I won't let it fall from grace
(Fall from grace...)
There's someone watching over me.
(Fall from grace...)
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gonna stand my ground
I will survive
You can see it in my eyes...
I will survive
I've driven by the faith
You can see it in my eyes
It's written on my face
I will survive
I will survive
I won't let it fall from grace
I will survive
You can see it in my eyes
I will survive
Yeah...
I will survive

The Dead End
'I looked above and tried to find'
Those lovely eyes which were so kind
I trusted her and remained completely dependent
She was around me all the time and present
My eyes have become wet and not probing
I feel helpless, tired and only sobbing
I fear about somebody's presence
Hence look down and don't raise the face
The life time bond should not break
It must be drawn long to converse or speak
As one may need another at any time
Couples are destined not to last long sometimes
I knew well how painful it was today?
I cried relentlessly as found no other way
She was proving unbearable with pain
I wept and remembered her again
She is no more with me in this world
I have been left alone to suffer the cold
It is almost dry and sultry surrounding
I control the sentiments but immediately rebounding
I saw her hiding in dark clouds
As she emerged with silver lining to speak loud
I was watching her helplessly
But she was there guiding me readily
'Don't feel sad´ as I am here
To show you the way with light there
You may not miss me for complete time
Shed your sadness and come out of bad time
I just listened to her words with care
They were inspiring me to dare
Not to get frightened with immediate vacuum
It would be better if I regained posture and kept mum
One day it comes in everybody's life time
We are left behind to see the painful time
Even though it is not in our hand
Yet that proves unimaginable dead land

Find mirror
Mirror is like child
Knows nothing and act as blind
With no input there is no output
It won't work if only ideas are shoot
You may be liberal at heart
That can be shown by anybody as an art
We are human being and very clever
Can hide anything till the end or forever
We pretend to be good and innocent
Still ask mirror to speak for us and present
It may never be liked by us for simple reason
As we are unfaithful as human being and person
Why don't you go to mirror before making overtures?
Embark on something new as an adventure
We are sure that we are heading for somebody's failure
Expect it to get through deception but still not very sure
We all know it yet blame the plain mirror
It may certainly reflect your complete error
The way you have gotten ill wealth along with joy
But alas! It is short lived and you may not enjoy
You be with truth and see the brightness son face
Nothing will be shadowed or hidden in any of the case
You are there to judge contentment and assurances
You have lived the life and it has not come by chance
It will be foolish to paint a character and vision as we like
Why someone should bother if you fall from sky like kite?
If you have become an arrogant man and see no one as your true friend
There can't be left anything like frustration and tragic end
You need not go before mirror and read face
You have your soul as real reflection to trace
Ask just simple question and wait for an answer
You may find an echo coming from deep corner
Wait and see what all you want now to see
Feel as bird to fly in air or having fruits on tree
You are guiltless creature having nothing to fear
Whether it is to be seen in mirror or heard in the ear

I, Too, Do Not Want Any Friends For Money
what are friends for?
we meet again
this time, we wear a different kind of hair
mostly grey and lesser in number
balding head, and bluer lips, and
sunken sockets and bony cheeks
ears seem wider and longer
neck a little bit lower
stooping shoulders
and clumsy hands and a memory
that find it hard to name names
and places
we meet again at the ticketing office
of this port
this boat that will take us home
tonight
it is your back facing me
as you are talking to the clerk
homebound
you are homebound
on little packs
i still recognize your voice
but i have doubts
you are that harsh now
impatient and so demanding
it is my turn
and you face me
your eyes are still the same
now turning so friendly
my friend it is you
how are doing?
we hug, we cry,
we shake hands
we speak about the university
we look forward to be back
home to our past
this is what are friends for,
we do not speak about money
we do not have any.....

A beautiful object
The most beautiful object from the nature
To see for for self and make it sure
Its revelation is simple and pure
Eyes make its presence and assure
Everybody has realized this fact in the world
You can’t neglect or put it on hold
The relation can’t be stored in cold
The initiative has to be very bold
The silence may speak thousand of words
The world can’t be won over by power of swords
Some warmth has to be felt from within
There there will be surrender and compete win
The rolling stones will be in motion
The place may be taken over by emotions
You may try to influence and prove best
Make it known as it is your final test
Who will speak for you and reveal
Who will hold it back and conceal
It will almost prove to be real
It may find its approval and final seal
Still the eyes may speak a lot
The consequences or result you might have not thought
Without reasons no wars are fought
It is acknowledged and reasons are not sought
Silence may descend as you feel the pulse
You may have strong urge not to repulse
The eyes may not speak but seek the solace
You got to make your hut as palace

Friends flock
Lots of reader friends flock the site
Come with proposals and friendship to delight
I love their wisdom and intelligence
It is really god sent opportunity and chance
Some of them leave behind ever lasting impression
Not with their brilliance alone but with face expression
They speak nothing but rarely a word is missed
You feel intimate enough as if being passionately kissed
I read many faces with humanly concern
Try to understand their point of view in turn
But some of the faces never last from the memory
And if they try to do anytime I feel so sorry
One such character came across like lightening speed
She was "Aakhya" meaning fame with lots of things to feed
It has several meanings to be interpreted like "spoken"
I was all for her beauty on face and never got shaken
Some of the females only might have been blessed
As after long chase her face was traced
What a beauty to speak about and know her feelings
She was all for cooperation and expressed it as willing
Moon is best object to be compared with beauty
She is much more than what I thought can be from almighty
Each line can be read from her beautiful face
So lovely to look at and can be compelled to join the race
She has surprise elements on face
Woven with human colors and more of traces
Feeling for humanity and larger cause for literature
That is how I read and coming things for future
She has tendency to fall in love
May be with her work and firmly believe
That what has been dreamed is achievable
When person is trying to prove and is capable
She has personal gratitude for mother
As beauty with brain she feels no other
I have felt for her brilliance and beauty
She looks imposing and fine person and overall cutie

Someone...
Someone, somewhere,
is feeling my despair.
Yet no residue, no trace is found,
of this person, ever understanding.
Words kind, eyes full of love and caring
Nobody knows the despair inside of me!
Oh, but you understand it,
you know my sadness, you've been through it all.
You're always willing to help me,
pick me up when I fall.
Now let me help you,
through all your hard times.
Let me pick you up from your despair,
and give you the happiness we once shared.
I'm not lying to you, you know its true,
that I'll give all I have for you
