Gentleman Coward
I felt pain in heart when turned down her proposal
It was not out right dismissal or disposal
Yet it firmly indicated that I was not her man
She had told number of times that she wanted to be my woman
She gazed at ground at stood silently
She did not reply but heard me patiently
She thought for a second and shook my hand
No problem dear “we can still stay as friend’
I don’t know how much I had hurt her
But certainly it was no good news either
She had banked on me heavily
And now I told her to accept it hurriedly
She tried to look in my eyes but got no clue
Her face tried to look in my eyes and view
I remained stone faced and took no note
As I had already put a hole in her boat
We parted in good spirit but to see if time permitted
I sincerely thanked her and whole blame admitted
Yet there was some hidden pain on her face
She regained composure and did not try to chase
Many years have passed since then I haven’t heard
Not even single message was received or read
It was hard to forget but I was under compulsion
There was uncertainty with lots of confusion
She is pushed far away from my memory
I wanted to feel whole heartedly and express sorry
“No dear, feel no sorry and regret” she could heavily reply
Let past end here and resolve no more to state
I have heard nothing about her since then
I wanted to know about her very often
I saw her one day in luxury car
Even I had little glimpse and was little far
She is better placed person today and doing fine
I am only person to be blamed who tried to undermine
Wracked the relation and brought disrepute to holy relation
She had full faith in me and had accepted equation
There was no bad intention on my part
My inner conscience has stopped me from the very start
I was sure of not doing better in coming days
So I had no other option but to part the ways
She was fully inclined and had known my position
She fully understood the situation but resented disposition
I was gentleman coward in her eyes and no more
She was determined in her approach and merely deplored
* to retrace steps in anticipation is cowardice*

You Were Never Truthful
'You were never truthful
Forget about being faithful'
She blasted me for being evasive
She refused to submissive
I was taken a back
As everything was at stake
Her eyes were fully awake
She was for real relation and not fake
Somehow I was able to manage
I felt her position as that of bird in cage
She was not weak in any sense
But of late she remained very tense
I preferred to go slow
As I expected bright tomorrow
She was expected to come down
As I had shown willingness to own
I might have erred in many ways
But surely had not gone away
She occupied central position
There was not to be any confusion
Yet it existed in her mind
I had no clue or idea to find
I tried my level best to know her better
But she had already turned bitter
I listened to her patiently
She was in rage presently
She won't hear a word from anybody
She had blasted me off already
Let me admit i love her from heart
I want it again with fresh start
I may be naïve with no love art
Yet I feel my pulse miss some beats to be a part
She will realize my plight
My sincere wish to be always right
I meant love to be only means
To come in terms and make heart win
I touched her hand and promised
Asked for apology and gently kissed
On her hand and reassured good relation
Now there was no reason to be angry with any question
She stared at me with lot many questions
She smiled gently but made no mention
I was her best friend and she knew it well
It was her right to be angry and everything to tell

My heart beat
It all seems like today
Ages have passed by…
My heart missed a beat
When I first saw you
When you stretched out your hand
When you spoke to me first
When you said you look good
When you stood talking for hours
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I met you
When we started dating
When we went on shopping
When we spent time in each other’s company
When we were in each other’s arms
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I wanted to say something
When you found that life was miserable
When you thought I should live with you
When you enjoyed my company
When you proposed to me
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I felt your love
When we first had a talk
When we had a long walk
When we never heard the waves on the shore
When we knew we loved each other
My heart missed a leap
My heart missed a leap
When I lost words
When you found them for me
When you touched me first
When you blew in my ears
When you kissed me first
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I saw the ring
When we decided
When we finalized things
When we knew everything was fine
When we heard the revolt
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I saw you parents
When you said your mother’s decision
When you were thinking twice
When you wanted to satisfy both
When your thoughts wavered
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I understood you
When we decided to go ahead
When we said this is the right time
When we told our friends
When we held hands
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I became your wife
When you were all to myself
When you said you love me lots
When you and your mother accepted me
When you became my world
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I knew a life in me
When we realized the fact
When we understood our culmination’s fruit
When we were to be too proud
When we heard a heart in me
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I first heard them cry
When you saw with sparkling eyes our babies
When you said they resemble me
When you said I am now a proud father of two
When you said I love you for this
My heart missed a beat
My heat missed a beat
When I heard them call me mom
When we were proud parents
When we shared happy moments
When we saw them grow
When we heard good things about them
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I knew it was time for marriages again
When you said just both of us now
When you saw me with love
When you said you look young still
When you whispered I love you
My heart missed a beat
You are a part of me
Even in our ripe old age
My heart beats only for you from day one
The day yours stop so will mine stop
For my heart beats only for you…
It all seems like today
Ages have passed by…

Green Eyes
Those gorgoues green eyes of yours how could I forget? I'm afraid in my memory they will always live
The memory of those eyes I'm afraid will be with me forever, yes the memory of them I'll never be able to sever
I use to see those green eyes everyday, all I hope now is that over the years they haven't changed
In those green eyes I use to get lost, never once thinking about if I were to make them mine, what me it would cost
I use to count the hours, the minutes, the seconds til you I would see again, even though I told everyone otherwise, I wanted you desperatly to be so much more than a friend
Even though I knew you felt the same way about me, in the back of my mind was a constant reminder of how we couldn't be
That very thought use to cause me so much pain, but I forced myself to move on, and even though it's hard to think about I know you've probably done the same
There are days when I think about you and I hope you're doing fine, but I hope I never see you or those green eyes again not for your sake but for mine
Because I know that if I ever come face to face with those gorgoues green eyes of yours again, that resistance will be futile, and this time around we'll definatly end up being more that friends

No longer carry
I will no longer carry the sad events
Push them in corner and offer no comments
It is difficult to isolate but no other way
All the time it will detract and your attention away
It is sad to write about it or keep in memory
Eyes become wet and land you to feel sorry
Mostly the childhood friends remain in mind
You feel elated when remember them as very kind
I had friend called “Ratan” meaning jewel
He was lame but brilliant and would always excel
He had sharp mind of wise man and always advise
I felt so bad when heard the news of his demise
Some of my friends would push him to the ground
They will pull the cloths, give chase and surround
He will stare at them with pity and helpless face
He would still not curse the almighty for not being in the race
It is often sarcastically commented
Cut joke on their helplessness and resented
No one would come forward for good proposal
They will be kept aside with quick disposal
Today I find him close to the chest
Even though he is no more but still served as best
I remember once he said in my ears
“Never forget mom even if passed many years”
I realize what did he exactly mean?
He put it to me soberly and very clean
It did not have any coating of sugar
He tried his best and remained all the time eager
I am on the last leg of journey
Still I am being invaded by many
I don’t know what they mean by heavenly abode
I think it may be mentioned as path to reach to God

My First Hurt
I see myself in the past and I dont want to return
From those days those mistakes I have caught to have learned
But why do I still feel the pain
See day by day I tried to get over you
Just to have found out what people had said about you was true
But why do I still feel the pain
Is it because I told you since they day that we met
I wanted you to be the one I wont ever forget
Is that why I'm starting to feel the pain
Or was it cuz I still wanted you for me
But you were married you see
Is that why I'm starting to feel the pain
You took the one thing special I had away
After that is when I felt the most ashamed
Because it is now more than ever that I have felt HURT and PAIN
The pain you gave me that day
The pain you gave me the next
The pain that you had nothing to say
Or just the worst pain that in the end all you wanted was SEX! ! !

A love or no love
We always quarreled whenever met
You never bothered to know the ground was wet
It had rained heavily last night
Still you had reason to fight
Every time you taunted me
Never spared for anything and haunted
I still rallied behind and counted
You till pressured and mounted
You had to adjust the time and place
I was tired of coming to you with hidden face
I was altogether indifferent attitude
You were inconsiderate and very rude
We were meant to part
Not budging from stand to depart
I wanted to be very good companion
But you had difference of opinion
It was causing disrepute
Every time we had dispute
We couldn’t solve it or refute
I silenced myself and remained mute
Did he not love me so much?
Was the situation demanding as such?
Why there was heavy demand and rush?
I did not want it to be nearly pushed
We ought to know what is expected of us
It should not land us in trouble to miss the bus
There are still values and traditions left behind
We must take care for the solution to find
The situation would never be same again
Still worry and concern may always remain
We may go on fighting endlessly
Still find the solution to spend time happily
I do not term it worst situation
It is ruled out of question
You are there for me forever
I know it and understand it however
You made me look sentimental fool
I was considered as medium or tool
You knew I won’t be back tracking
You were there for me and always backing
I am serious about holy alliance
I do not take it as defiance
It happens always when you are in close relation
It gives enough of joy and elation
You tried to subdue me for no reason
I was always there with you as kind woman
I followed you at every step
Your insulting tone served me as slap
It is altogether great surprise but not matter of great concern
We may come out of problem and learn
There is always chance for bad to good turn
The happy days may come back or return
Build the confidence on sound footing and on unparallel lines
It must be shown and not pushed to side lines
It is always to be reflected on bright shines
The importance of it is understood with underlines

Why only females!
“Why only females have to suffer”
“I am sorry to know it and I differ”
I was fired off by a very good friend
I thought it will bring about an abrupt end
She was for all praise for good friend
She was no doubt very clear with trend
I said I can improve upon and mend
She was adamant and refused to bend
I had liked her from the beginning
She was fire brand and very shining
Her approach very clear and convincing
I too liked her words without mincing
She was tall in figure and beautiful
I thought she may be equally faithful
She might come up with all that may be purposeful
I too longed for her and was very hopeful
Even though she was far away
I did not feel bad in any way
She had her option very much open
I too was very much hopeful even
She has boyfriend she told
But in fact she proved she is very bold
She would not easily go to any fold
She may be opposed to any idea or very cold
It did not make me sink
I even saw her without any wink
She was merely stating her position
I dreamed about her with very good composition
She will laugh it out at my proposal
She may say it even with quick disposal
She is not for anyone except her friend
She has no proposal in any sense to send
I am not good at such things
I did not expect her for something
She was to remain with me as a companion
She feared and took it for bonding and union
Relation is not built in a day
It is taking may years with days
Who can wait that longer to prove?
I liked her move and did not disapprove
Let her have her own world to live
I have my own to live and believe
Let it not drift away in strong current
The friendship is heavenly sent
I don’t want unusual thing to happen
It must not be felt now or then even
It is her choice to prevail and realize
Who am I to look upon it and oblige?
It is good for me to see her from distance
You can find many examples or good instances
It is touchy relation that may come on surface
One fine morning she may come out with smiling face

Word from friend
Word from friend
I heard sobbing voice from friend
She was almost crying from far end
“He has ditched me for nothing”
I thought somewhere gone wrong for something
She is caring and nice woman
So many times cheated by selfish men
But she was meant for some ideals
So there was difficulty in fining real
She had given up the chase
Life for her had become just race
To struggle always for gaining ground
But alas! It was elluding and not found
She would confide in me and explain
Her tears may fall as of that rain
Every time she may be in agony and in pain
As it happens with all and may also remain
“What should I do if someone refuses?
Imposes conditions and confuses”
I stood motionless and thought for a while
I could not convince her for it meanwhile
At certain age you not only need partner
But guardian for your kids as gardener
Some aspects can just be neglected
As relation at later stage is always respected
She admitted she was in love
They had met and happily drove
But there was reluctance on his part
She was confused as to stop or start
It was sensitive issue and needed consideration
As it required careful thinking of solid relation
No one knew what real turn will be out
So she was not at confident about
She was loosing her nerve
As she feared it won’t serve
Her purpose of remaining so noble
As he was not in position to spell out and able
I did explain about dangers involved
It might aggravate rather than problem solved
It may be better she her self weighted the situation
And discontinue if that was harmful for continuation
I prayed for her success and went for sleep
I was so much moved by her plight that I tried to weep
Head became so much heavy with struggling thoughts
No such situation was ever faced or thought

Spend Sometime A Day
Spend some day alone and feel
Sit on river bank and express will
What has brought over you here?
What can be on the other side there?
Look at the rising sun?
Pray sincerely while keeping mum
Concentrate fully by closing eyes
Let the mind not calm down and fly
Think of big question and answer
The reply may definitely be with fewer
It may take you deep in the well
You may find freshness and feel
It is spiritual bonding with eternal faith
You may have any allegiance with belief
You may try to be contended and remain brief
Nobody can take away happiness even by the thief
Try to feel light by confessional attitude
It may raise your level with magnitude
You may feel above some people with clear conscience
As it may have contact with energy and direct compliance
If sun rises daily and sets in time
Think of your stay on earth sometimes
You are subjected to decay
So there is no question of permanent stay
Submit yourself in the services of lord
Concentrate with prayers and look forward
You have guidance and spirit to go ahead
The message is well received and read

Asking with smile
You have asked it with smile
that made me to sink for while
it was as if felt as sincere call
i was prepared to scale a wall
I had never gone
the magic was already done
it was one of the pride moment
i too felt it as heavenly sent
I know you never asked for roses
you were at pain to express losses
believe me it was honest and sincere
I was willing to say with you here
You were not looking for it
Still I could see bright light
your eyes expressed it clear
You only whispered to hear
It was natural pull
I felt it deep and in full
It was not at all a deception
I too went for it without any option
Any one may feel going down
It will be decision of their own
it is not physical or any other attraction
no can afford to made addition or subtraction
I know it is going to be long way
still it is compulsion to be little away
If God willing, it may prove to be reality
The love has got its own sphere and ability
It was never a problem with me
I was at ease and feeling free
I could read it in your eyes
You held it firmly to express and try
Stay well as and where you are
I may be away and little far
It does not change the good start
You were really shining and looking smart
It spoke well and responded
It was nearly to be bonded
make it sure you are same person
I shall go with you without any reservation

Accepting the truth
it been two years since i lost you,
and the years are going up,
it gets easier to think of you,
but having you here will be nice too,
i know you in a good place,
i just wanted you to be happy,
God took you quickly,
you no longer have pain,
i can no longer hold onto you,
and i no longer regret that,
i know you still by my side,
giving me hope and feeling,
that everything will be alright,
you don't have to be here in person,
for me to be alright,
because you taught me everything i needed,
to be the person you wanted me to be,
i don't have to be surrounded by people,
to feel like i belong,
because it only makes me feel more alone,
i don't have to be accepted,
or to appear as normal,
for people to accept me,
because i am who i am,
i won't change a thing,
and i shouldn't have to,
just to be liked,
you taught me that,
why please other people,
when it don't make me happy?
and even though i miss you,
i'm glad i don't regret you being gone,
it was a part of life i don't like,
but i can live with it,
it is what it is.

No Uncertain Death
I have seen no uncertain death
It was first time when I went to lay a wreath
My grand mother had recently passed away
I had spent considerable time with full stay
I go back to my childhood memory
She may take all steps to make me merry
I was her beloved and very dear child
She was never annoyed and remained mild
She may spread her hand on my head
In sound sleep I may feel touch and quietly read
She has the magic in hand and is quite apparent
I would forget everything even past and current
All the mothers of world are like that
This was reveled by grand and several times stated
Nobody can compare her with any object
She is known by her graceful act
Such lovely figure is not among us
My mother had so much love and trust
She may shed tears in little away place
So we should not see her pale face
She confided me how last days were so painful
Grandma was so critical but remained cheerful
She remembered me even to her last breath
I was the only one not present at the time of death
Everybody at that time was choked with emotions
We had to pray for her peaceful departure without any options
It was Almighty’s wish and we had to only pray
We could only weep and could not see her going away
She had so much deep affection
We could see in her eyes that reaction
She wanted to speak but could do nothing
We waited for her to speak something
Mother confided me something more
Grandma at the end was very sorry and sore
She never wanted me to be away from home
She waited for me to see her and welcome
She had her last remembrance
She had opted for this relation happily at once
She had worked day and night for our well being
She did everything for happiness to bring
I would go for her feeling
She did it for us happily and willing
How could we be that ungrateful?
She had done exceedingly well and remained resourceful
Every household has one old character
They may remain main figure and anchor
The family ship has to be towed safely to shore
It always requires something more and more
I look at her shining eyes and face
I find everything in her and there is nothing more to trace
She is doyen of all mothers with smiling personality
May be this is only one remaining quality

Friend on line
My poetess friend is on line
Would love for poems to find day's shine
I was really impressed for keen interest
It was in general for best interest
A publisher is good link for purpose
Whole trust is to be put and reposed
I was falling to her proposal
It was new bond waiting for revival
She was touching heart and coming near
I too had had nice feeling of love and dear
I named her "Kajol"* as she had told me once
She was sure of having some resemblance
I told her name to appear in preface
Another mask for putting on face
She was anxious for being her in preface
I found some keen interest with feeling trace
She was thee making inroad
Heavily riding on mind with immense load
I was sinking with her brilliance
She was sure there to show up with intelligence
"She will buy it first" confident was her reply
I was hell bent to go her near by
She had consented to appear on the face of book
I disbelieved it and unwillingly allowed head to shake
The poems had touched 3000 mark
It was lovely beginning and good start
She was there to praise and take stock
I was waiting for some ticks from the clock
I was in fact growing old
But kept approach very bold
It is necessary to feel young at heart
Poetry is such good form of an art
She was quick at my back
Posted questions about what is at stake
Life is not simple like cake
It has to be honest and not fake
I wondered at her philosophy
She was plain but as if blessed by almighty
Right from day one she had clear vision
Not much to be left behind as confusion
I wished her success and good start
She was coming up with part by part
Touching simple way and putting across
I was very much happy and felt at no loss
Kajol… Indian famous actress
(To be concluded)

Hand For Life
I read
Re read and observed
Whether I really deserved
'Her hand for life time' comment reserved
She has sent me a letter
For life time partner
Precisely a deep matter
I am glad and feel better
I read contents
Not much to comment
Yet a serious proposal
I must have quick disposal
What do I reply?
She has made honest try
Now I feel little shy
She may ask any time, why?
I come to the term
With all the details in turn
'Yes, we unite on His name'
Solemnly assure and claim
We shall stay blessed
Even if life may be chased
Never part in any situation
Run the life smooth with strong bond and relation

Look Not At
Look not at what he or she appears
They are the same since years
Their sweet voice ring constantly in ears
They are our real brothers, sisters and neighbors
I never saw ugliness
But read only happiness
When they spoke few nice words
That was as if blessings appeared from the lords
What we all need in real journey?
When not needed wealth or money?
Few words do the real trick
When we have strong resolve to stick
What makes us to feel for outer show?
May be some irritation when it grows
For a face unfamiliar or with ugly appearance
That has been given by almighty at once
Who can undo it for any good reason?
But an individual can be nice person
Good at heart and full of compassion
That is all needed now for good relation
I used to read lovely messages
When they may speak nothing due to old age
But I catch the intention when look at
Their eyes seems full of thanks when fully set
What can be good if beautiful face turns cruel?
With nothing in store to express or tell
I love ugly people (God forbade me)
Who always love and pose no trouble
I wish to be one among
Even if they go anytime wrong
I shall cherish their inner beauty
When they speak little but with blessings from almighty

Judy
To my wife Judy
I really love you truly
remember the good old days,
and the bad, when we almost went our ways
your such a good mother and wife
even though, we together, have a lot of strife
I love your sweet smile dear
the thought of losing you, brings a tear
Remember when we walked down grand
for us together, hand in hand
when we went to watch them play ball
days when the team was riding tall
Remember our first kiss
it brought my heart much bliss
Judy dear the years, have gone fast
I love you so much, like in the past
Judy together we've seen good times and bad
we've seen our son, grow into a fine lad
our daughter I know acts like me,
I do wish she was more like you, don't you see
Judy you have so much love,
in you, your sweet as a dove
you put up with so much
right now your face I want to touch
I told you I would write a poem about you
it may not be good, but it'll do
Judy this is how I feel with out you
when away from you, I feel very blue
I miss you very much
love you more, when were not in touch
time has not passed us by
of the past I need to let it die
Judy I'm happy with you my dear
the thought of losing you brings fear
without you, I'm nothing at all,
with you, in time, I will stand very tall.
I Realized Why I Hate Rejection
i hate being rejected,
i never understood until today,
it replays in my mind,
the day you told me,
that it was my fault,
it couldn't be the way it was,
when it was you and i,
i was a child,
you put the blame on me,
told me i opened my mouth,
and now things can never be the same,
i was a child,
everything you were doing to me,
just felt so wrong,
i enjoyed the attention,
looking back,
i don't think it was worth it,
there are memories i won't forget,
everything you did to me,
was set in stone,
it will never be undone or erased,
it will remain,
a memory i wish to distroy,
but i can't,
it's a memory and feeling,
that is hard to live with at times,
being told as a child,
that you wasn't good enough,
by a man who had no right,
and yet i'm the one hurting,
it don't feel fair,
you got what you enjoyed,
and i didn't even asked for it,
i was forced into doing it,
what i didn't want to do,
it no wonder i put myself,
in the same exact thing you put me in,
it feels right,
but at the same time,
i'm hallow and numb,
i don't feel nothing,
i'm not even sure if i want to feel something,
because feeling something means,
feeling the deep pain,
i let myself go years trying to forget,
it will all come flooding back,
all the pain is hard,
it don't seem to get easier.

I starred
I stared at that glaring eye
Somehow I was attracted but don’t know why?
She had magic eye with magnetic pull
There prevailed peace and lull
I could see it inviting
Passion and love was fully igniting
It was tremendous pull from unknown direction
She stood there with amazing sill and action
I could see some tears rushing
She was hardly in control about pushing
It surfaced with great pain and surprise
Wanted full assurance with promise
She is princess of her own state
Even though the sadness has come very late
She was with all the comforts and luxury
Until pushed to deception and treachery
May be it was god sent chance
She had not seen me even at once
I was to become her adorable friend
With all the happiness and joy till the end
It is not that she was not beautiful
She was attractive but not at all deceitful
It seemed she wanted to be all for good and faithful
I closed eye and wished it to be successful
Her eyes wanted full assurance and guarantee
That she will be totally yokeless and free
Breathe in fresh air like cuckoo
And I was the one for her to woo
Not that all our wishes come true
Even if we try honestly and prove
But nothing can stop us to be real one
That position can’t be taken by anyone
I saw complete shine on her shining face
I could find no tears with any trace
She was all for smile as with new happiness
She was ready to fly with in complete readiness
I will certainly miss those eager eyes
I may not be able to stay even with strong and earnest try
But I would offer her wings to fly in direction
Where she finds complete joy and happiness with her action

A sad feeling
I am lonely and feeling very sad
All days were nice but today it is very bad
I could not see of him in my dream
I am only for him, him and him
He always used to say me hello
He will not stop me and allow
I had decided to go after him and follow
He was firm with his promises and not hollow
His silence was baffling
The rain was dazzling
Some times amusing and sometimes puzzling
In all the way I was very much willing
I was sure he may come and tightly embrace
I thought of it as gift from God with grace
I was not at all ion mad race
I was ready for any eventuality to face
Number of times I had consented
I was proud of relation and never lamented
You were too inclined and sarcastically commented
Allowed me to come near and never prevented
The sun was blazing but with no direct rays
I he had forgotten the direction and ways
Soon the blaze will be over and night may set
I have tried so much but unable to forget
The dark clouds have covered complete sky
I wanted to ask question with optional why?
The moon too didn’t come out of hiding
The emotions were taking toll and heavily riding
Only one good news could make me happy
I was feeling very much sleepy
I was on risky side of the slope
I had still good faith with high hope
I know he will respond with responsibility
He has all the strength to go for it with ability
I shall not bind him in any condition
He needs only passion and clear ignition

Correctly understood
If I have correctly understood the contents
It deserves no prayers and comments
It is complete in full sense with all answers
Its essence will be accepted by only fewer
I read and reread the holy book
I have no reason to believe it is fluke
The message has got its weight
Only it is to be understood in context and very right
Some of the messages do not appeal
All kind of confusion persists and prevails
I see no one around to clear the doubts
I go deep and very deep with “ifs” and “buts”
Lord, I have no place to go and plead
I see in your merciful eyes and try to read
You are in pain and anguish
Yet love for mankind is not finished
Where from that love and tolerance comes?
Why do you accept everybody and welcome?
All perpetuators and wrong does get easy reprieve
You have same eye with affection even if they deceive
I hear bells from the distance
It enlightens me with no disturbance
How much peace and comfort with your presence?
I sincerely bow down and fold my hands at once
I close the eyes and slip in memory to feel
You were undergoing pain and anguish still
We are still not true to your word and message
You keep generous eyes for our clear passage
I see smile with tears on your face
You are amused and troubled at mad race
You are unsure of what we have understood
Whether we will do anything if at all good
What does the soul try to search?
Why good words fall on deaf ears even if you preach?
Holy words are not meant to be taught?
The sprit strengthens on which lines to be fought
At point of given time, you will be forced to commit
All venom to come out from heart and vomit
The suicidal tendencies my try to come on fore
But the merciful eyes may not allow it therefore
You have gone off the right track
You have no resolve to repay it back
Where has He asked anything in return?
Still you do not find trust with words in turn?
You do not wait for words to be known
Your action and conduct may become well-known
You may get whatever you want for selfless service
This is clear message and assured with the promise
“I shall serve the destitute and poor”
“I shall not differntiate the wrong doer”
“All are my children and reside in heart”
“Chant the hymns and lead the happy life from the start”
