If Wishes Had Wings
If wishes had wings
We could become kings
Tame the lions in circus ring
Like cuckoo we too could sing
Alas! If dead can return
To prove his life in turn
Whole life he did nothing
Now wish it happen for something
Not bad at all if you genuinely wish
Swim in water freely without fear as fish
The net will be ready for you to be caught
The wish may not materialize as has been sought
What can happen even if we wish it to?
Simple life is in our and it is almost true
No one may force you to change the course
Yet to do nothing is our helplessness of course
It is better to be visionary
Than to think of thing illusory
It may do no good but make you to feel sorry
Add tension and reduce no amount worry

Anything Can Happen
Time will come when we know what happened here
Change will come in time and make it clear
We learn one thing if we learn at all
In the secret wars we call our lives
Anything can happen
We watch the days, we make our plans
We change in ways a life demands
But what ever pleasure this life may allow
Ill give you the love I have for you now
Because anything can happen
In a world so full of fear
Dreams are whispered in the dead of night
And people disappear
But you hear my heart and you know Im still here
Although you know and I know you know
While I swear Ill never let you go
Anything can happen
Yeah, if this love can happen here
Anything can
We watch the days we make our plans
We change in ways a life demands
Ill always remember this time, this place
The hope in your voice, the light on your face
Because anything can happen
In a world so full of pain
People give their lives to making war
And we call those people sane
But I love you where your dreams remain
Though you never say it anymore
One day therell be an end to this war
And who knows
We may see what were here for
Anything can happen
Yeah, if this love has found us here
Anything can
Can happen

In A Breath
Life is only one breath after another,
We are the ones who control our breaths, not oneanother.
A breath is all it takes,
To make a breath.
In a breath you could stop,
In a breath you could drop,
In a breath anything could happen,
In a breath anything could happen.
Life is the journey down a pathway,
Of which stones are breaths that show you the way.
A path to eternity, to forever.
Where you shall stay forever and ever.
In a breath you could die,
In a breath you could fly,
In a breath anything could happen,
In a breath anything could happen.
Tomorrow is yet a turn,
A turn you may not reach, but only a breath can determine,
You don't know when your final turn comes.
You do not know what you will become.
In a breath you could win,
In a breath you could sin.
In a breath anything could happen,
anything could happen.
Life is but a breath,
Air is but a breath,
In life you will find the truth,
And find air is the proof.
In a breath you could find nothing,
In a breath you could find everything,
In a breath anything could happen,
In a breath anything could happen.
You travel down a river,
Where bubbles are breaths and you are the giver.
The giver of ripples, of currents,
Of which for endurence.
In a breath you could loose,
In a breath you could choose.
In a breath anything could happen
In a breath anything could happen.
Follow the river of dreams to the sea.
This is eternity you will see.
Breath avery breath,
As if it were your last breath.
In a breath you could sail.
In a breath you could fail.
In a breath anything could happen,
anything could happen.

Fish Out Of Water
You always said you were the compassionate one
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all your high class friends you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain't a clue who or what you are
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
We used to sit and talk about primal scream
To exorsice our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water

My Life
My life
Can be challenged and diffcult
We all that bad and good days
I can’t give up on myself because
It’s not going good or my way
I shouldn’t let anyone make my choices
I’m not going to listen to them
All of is nonsense and they're waste of time to me
It my decision that going happen in
My life
There is no time to lose
Life is too short to do that
You don’t realized it until something tragedy happen
I’m sick and tired of sitting at home and doing nothing all day
Staring at clock won’t make it go by fast
Time to go out there and achieve my dreams
That what I’m here for
As well have fun like partying
Wohooo come on this
My life
I’m going live this way
I will chill and enjoy the summer
I want to try new adventures and new things
I want to see what I’m good and not good at
I have no time to waste
I want to travel and see whole world
Anything is possible is you just believe it
Hey who can’t blame me
This is
My life
Not your
So live it to fullest and what’s going to happen is up to me
I’m 18 years old
It’s laid in my hand
There is going to be time when I’m down,
Other time I be all happy and good mood
There is nothing going stop me and going bring me down because they are jerk
Nothing to worry about them, but me
I have no regrets, now I finally forget the pasts and memories of you for good
I feel so good again
Summer has changes me and
My life
If you need me I’m not here right now
I’m out having good time
Seven days a week
I’m going live this way and is
My life
Times where I’m going to lose and win
Is ok I’m fine with it
I go with flow
Is rocking right now and good life I have now

To My Friend
I can’t change you but I will try;
You are my friend and you know why;
If wise, you must certainly cry!
With remorse, atone for a while.
Good men suffer for venial sins;
Here on Earth, not in hellish kilns;
Tongue has no bones; words must not mince;
A true water-fish has some fins.
Pleasures are not always the same;
Our emotions must become tame;
To enjoy joys, sorrows must call!
Life’s ups and downs, happen to all.
Born in this world, improve thine soul;
Prepare for the next Life- our goal;
A mansion-life, isn’t saintly one!
Bend, thou must ‘fore you arise, son.
Time is for good use, if you can;
Unused, forever ‘tis gone, Man;
Peace of mind, good health and some wealth,
Achieve them hard-work and by stealth.
dedicated to 'my best friend'!

Old Man Says Farewell Cheerfully
What is left in life to do
Except to make much
Of the moments, all of them.
Whatever has to happen
Has been done and over:
Now, is the age of retirement.
Nothing 'has' to be done,
And I accept every thing that happens,
Every comment made on me.
Try hard, not hard but try to live
My life without any tension,
Except when anger or lust takes over.
William Butler Yeats at 60
Had identified these two
As spurring him to song.
For me these two make me
Go out of myself and taste life
Whether good or bad I dont know.
So, I am in that blessed state
Where I dont want to be greedy
For anything but just live pure life.
When death comes, it can come,
There will be no fear or disappointment,
It sinks and I am ready to depart.
Had a good life, good parents,
Enjoyed my studies and subject,
Got into IAS and had good postings.
Did in some jobs what meant public good,
Like in Health stopping smoking in public places,
Or promoting gir children in India.
Best of life was to use my five senses,
And to learn to enjoy art and nature
Most important of all, to look into myself.
No moral imperative for me,
God gave and he takes it away,
Blessed like Job in the Bible.
Let me end my self not on a high
Oratorical note, but on a simple
Daily routine, of helping where I can.
Farewell, dear Reader, when you read
This I am sure I would have gone underground,
Dont spare a thought for me, but look after yourself.

In my pocket
In my pocket
"Whole world is in my pocket" someone exclaimed
Happiness expressed openly and joyfully claimed
And why not a person should feel happy and rejoice?
As there has been indication with clear choice
I may be female but swim in water like whale
I have no limitation to fly in any zone
I don't know what has happened to whole body?
As if it has received signal from somebody
I wish I could share it with you
Tell and confide what is actually true
My feet are dancing to the tune
The sad days are no where near and definitely gone
I find moon happily smiling
The stars also stand in queue and twinkling
I find sky has not vast but limited horizon
Waves rise high in elation and force the ocean
I want to tell cuckoo not to sing today
I have found the joy and want it to stay
I may not find the same opportunity again
I want it to be seized and accept no pain
Spring is in full form and flowers boom
I can see it clearly from my study room
Seasons do change so have I too!
I wait for it to pass peacefully through
I find him not around but clearly hear
His foot steps as if approaching near
I touch the ground and patiently land the ears
Such an occasion has come after many years
Any girl may want this to happen
It might unexpectedly take place even
In life something in return is willingly given
Like and dislikes are forgotten and forgiven
You stop me not from going high
I wish I had strong wings to fly
Even without it I desperately attempt or try
Tears rush in eyes and force me to cry

Do You Ever?
Do you ever?
Dream that you live in a world where you can be happy forever and have a great life
I did and everything just got turn around and twist
Everything is not good and feel like it all your fault that this happening
You can't blame yourself for what happen because
What comes around, goes around
Do you ever?
Dream that you live in a world where life is perfect and nothing going happening
I did and stuff happen and at end
Everything is ok for me
I learn that I shouldn't blame myself and just live with it
I know that sometimes I look back on what happen and I learn that I need to just let it go and move on
Do you ever?
Dream that your life is going stay same
I did and out of no where
This happen and I didn't expect it
At that time I didn't know what to do and
Feel like it all my fault and wish it never happen
Do you ever?
Dream that you live in a world where you can be happy forever and have a great life
I did and everything just got turn around and twist
Everything is not good and feel like it all your fault that this happen
My advice to you is don't be upset with yourself
Try to go along with what happen and remember is not your fault
Do you ever?

Sonnet: Don’t You Worry
Some things may happen unexpectedly;
No need to fret or fume or feel depressed;
All things do happen for our good only;
Let’s hope that life makes feel less repressed.
We should not change in ways the world expects;
We must not change if principles are lost;
We can adjust to things if world respects;
For everything, there is a risk and cost!
Don’t you worry as God decides all things;
Just take the things as they come up to you;
None can predict the time and things, life brings;
Life brings problems and apt solutions too.
All things in life are transient, ev’n if long;
We have to do things right and not the wrong!

Tightrope
My words are weapons, in which i murder you with
Please don't be scared; please do not turn your head
We are the future the 21st century dyslexic glue sniffing cyber sluts
With homicidal minds and hand guns
We are insane nothing will change
We are insane nothing will change
There is a thin line between what is good and what is evil
And i will tiptoe down that line but i will feel unstable
My life is a circus and i am tripping down that tightrope
Well there is nothing to save me now
So i will not look down
And a you, and a you, and a you, happen to you, and a you
And a you
There's no beginning there is no end
There is only change
Progression backwards is this were we are heading
Take back your soul forget your emptiness
There is a thin line between what is good and what is evil
And i will tiptoe down that line but i will feel unstable
My life is a circus and i am tripping down that tightrope
Well there is nothing to save me now
I'm falling to the ground
Falling to the ground, down to the ground yeah
I speak of madness, my heart and soul
I cry for people who aint got control
Lets take our sanity, lets take compassion
And be responsible for ever reaction
Hell no, no how no way no way no way no how no way no how
There is a thin line between what is good and what is evil
And i will tiptoe down that line but i will feel unstable
My life is a circus and i am tripping down that tightrope
Well there is nothing to save me now
So i will not look down
There is a thin line between what is good and what is evil
And i will tiptoe down that line but i will feel unstable
My life is a circus and i am tripping down that tightrope
Well there is nothing to save me now
I'm falling to the ground
Down to the ground, all the way down

Good Life
There is this door in front of you
If you don't open and see what behind it
You are going miss out on a lot
There is
Good life
If you just overcome your fear
There will be something amazing happen
You will never regret yourself if you just do it
If you want something so much
All you have to do is dig a little deeper
There is going to be ups and downs, but
If you believe in yourself and do it
You doing it with flying colors and
Good life
Happen because you did it
Just remeber that you're not alone
There is someone you can go to or lean on
You might think is hard and
Give up on yourself and doubt yourself too
Don't do that and
There is going to be ostacles that going block your way
So just face you fear
Good life
Will come to you and you see that you're strong enough to do it
You will be great when you do it
There is this door in front of you
If you don't open and
See what behind it
You going miss out on a lot
There is a
Good life
If you just overcome your fear
There will be something amazing happen
You will never regret yourself if you just do it
There are these two paths
You have to choose
One can lead you in dark or good path if you lucky enough
Just remember if you made wrong decision
Then next time try making the better choice.
Good life
Will come along way
So just hold on tight and be brave
It going to be worthwhile if you just do it

Things Happen For Their Reasons
Things happen for their reasons.
And there is no need to make excuses,
For the obviousness...
Of those mistakes made.
Things happen for their reasons.
And,
What is there to say...
That can excuse mistakes away.
Stop that need to medicate.
Things happen for their reasons.
Why waste time in prolonged debates.
Thing happen for their reasons.
What is the purpose for seeking escapes.
Things happen for their reasons.
Acceptance eases,
The facing of one's fate.
Things happen for their reasons.
They happen for their reasons.
Stop that need to feed on grief.
Things happen for their reasons.
Why squeeze a healing wound to bleed.
Things happen for their reasons
They happen for their reasons.
And aging doesn't make one safe.
Or offer escapades as a gateway to charade.
Things happen for their reasons.
They happen for their reasons.
Things happen for their reasons.
And there is no need to make excuses,
For the obviousness...
Of those mistakes made.
Even while one ages,
With a life reminisced played on many stages...
Try their best to gracefully accept,
Things happen for their reasons.
And those experienced,
Eventually see this.
Things happen for their reasons.
And in the living of one's life...
A discovery reveals,
Those reasons with insight.

Bribe with conviction
I don’t count how many approached
Tried to bribe with conviction and feet touched
With so much of temptation and great urge
The amount involved in it was very large
I battled with conscious
It invaded constantly, non stop and continuous
It was enough to shake anybody’s belief
As it was intended to give much relief
How many may be living without any roof?
How many might have built houses with such proof?
They did surrender with only one aim
Life must be spent smoothly without any disputed claim
Who would not want to be a rich?
If that is within grasp or reach
No one is needed to be taught?
Whether it is rightly or wrongly to be brought
One must have restricted needs
It must also depend on noble deeds
It may make you wealthy overnight
Your conscious may rebel against and make you not feel right
If you can feel contended then nothing is like good
You need only something to supplement as food
Not much is needed like precious diamond and gold
They won’t be of any use when you grow old
I would carry only simple ring
That may remind me when in morning cuckoo may sing
I will have sweet recollection of what went good in past
As life has brought us to cross road very fast
I had only dreamed of having good companion
She was to cement the bond and make it strong union
Rest all were to follow as an outcome of peaceful search
If not all but something was to be had as an easy reach
Let us carry on humbly on agreed route
It is better to accept it as fate and remain mute
Nothing can materialize even if we desperately try
There is no need to show greed and later on cry

Very real
The winter in season
The flowers have every reason
To blossom and appeal
The shine and fragrance for the show to steal
Yes it is rare thing
We longed it for something
Pursed with all the zeal
To test the life very real
To search in fife is not wastage
It may come with the advancement of age
Whole life you may be dying for something to happen
It may not materialize in whole life even
It is very good quest
Hours are spent to get very best
It is still eluding the hope
As if walking on the right rope
Nothing said about mission’s failure
It was not made very sure
It went on for indefinite search
Even though never forced to halt the march
Life is full uncertainty
It takes enough of time to prove entity
When you reach at the near end?
You are not surrounded by any of your friend
It was your lone battle
You were ready for it to settle
The time and tide did not favor
Yet you lived with full honor

What Matters!
What a transformation from innocence to eagerness!
Cheeks turning into red with lots of glow on face
The sudden appearance of lovable feelings
Search for more friendly environment and willingness
All such things happen as soon as childhood vanishes
The simple boys or girls turn into their serious wishes
The will power to execute powerful ideas into reality
Human values to turn into acceptable zone with quality
It is all that we wish to happen on large scale
We want their faces to shine with brightness before turning pale
Millions dream about their land and want to live happily
To grab any opportunity that comes on the way readily
Such is general trend but things do happen in rosy way
Youngsters make unique style of approach and pay
Special attention to attract their man of liking
Go all the way to accommodate and start striking
Large space is created to dream and wish for
Take everything in personal stride and sought for
It is this stage that makes young hearts to breath fresh
With all their aspirations to meet and cash
Seasons change and so the mind develop
All wishes just emerge and never stop
Steps move in fast and wait for someone
Knock awaited and dreamed for special one
No one can advance any reason for change
It has come all along with the blessings and age
It is his creation that makes some one to love
Bring in near to embrace and believe
All stupid acts turn into sweet memory
Freedom of movement leads to joy without worry
Where is the scope to turn it into sadness and feel sorry?
It is all that designed in such a way that it compels us to carry
Seasons, flowers and rain all that makes difference
Youngsters come to life and draw the inference
What to comment and what to write about all changes
We are all human beings to take care and manage

Is it really like fishing?
They say there is many fish in the sea to choose from.
But have you ever gone fishing?
They say do not worry they are like fish you lose one then get a fresh one.
But have you actually gone fishing?
They say you can be picky when fishing your fish.
But have you been in the sea and fished?
They even say some actually smell like fish.
But have you really smelled a fish?
They say there is plenty of fish in the sea.
But have you actually gone and counted the fish in the sea?
They say once you catch that perfect fish, you are bound for a good life.
But have you caught that perfect fish they all speak of?
They say some fish can be beautiful.
But have you seen any beautiful fish?
How can one compare a fish?
They are not alike.
How can one say it is as easy as finding a fish?
It is not a simple task.
How can they say there are so many fish in the sea?
When there are so many fishers who have yet to catch.
Can you really compare life and love to a fish?
The answer is of course not.
You can’t.
Impossible.
Unreal.
Not imaginable.
Unbelievable.
Unrealistic.
A fairy tale.

Life Mean To Me Is
Life mean to me is
Full of surprised that is good or bad surprised
It can be tough or easy
Choices it should be what you think
It should be what you want not anyone else
I don't listen or care
I know you will make right one
We all have time when we mistake that
We wish we haven't and take back, but
You can't because it happen when you make adecision unless
You able to fix it
Life mean to me is
Going complaining, but I can overcome it
Everything be ok
I'm losing everyone that I care and love
I feel they give up on me
I be alright again like now
I feel horrible at time
It opens my eyes and makes me think
I need to stop complaining about problems that is gone over and over
I need stop acting like I'm now
I don't care what people think of me
I have done it bad so I'm changing my way
I'm going be ok
Every day is not getting easy
I'm not going let it stop me
I am letting it turn out this way all because of you
I lost most important thing and is you
You are one who turn my life upside down
I was fool for falling over you in first place
I take it on people and I didn't mean too
I know it now than late is good
I'm starting over
It's going to take time
This summer I learned a lot about life and people
I got part of me need to grow up
Right now it in my hand
Time to reach for goal
What life means to me is
Start doing it right
I need to improve myself
I don't want to be like this anymore
Is hard enough already
Don't be hard on yourself
Enjoy life while you have chance
Take a break and have fun
You can't undo what happen already
No matter how much you wish for it
You need to start fresh and over again
Life mean to me is

Great circus
I am stuntman and a king,
Act as joker in circus ring,
All applaud work when wear wing,
Laugh them freely when I sing,
Nothing is changed from the initial days,
Same rings shows and same animals,
Tiger and lions obey master’s call,
Jump or sit and push firing ball,
All are trained and not miss play,
All prove better and have their sway,
Even monkeys read book or page,
But danger animals are kept in cage,
Everybody perform small or big role,
Stunts are shown in ring or pole,
It is well organized and brave front,
All stay together but never confront,
Life is circus and we play a role,
Members may be many but stay as whole,
All act orderly and face no problem,
Stay them together as long as not blame,
Life being challenge not always smooth,
Often fight among and break single tooth,
If stay they together and pass all test,
Life could be easy and result will be best,
This is small step and we go all length,
Demonstrate the will and good strength,
Respect and orderly life will yield result,
Tear you all apart if you hurl insult,
Either small or big, elder or younger,
Have to behave well and control anger,
Not to crate panic even if have hunger,
Family stays together and even last longer

Fill My Cup
Were nowhere in particular
Were nowhere, nowhere at all
So fill my cup, make me happen
Fill it up, make me smile
Fill my cup, give me a reason
A reason to feel alright
Dont you worry, sweet darling
Its gonna be alright
It seems that Ive been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
I sleep alone
On my very own
Sitting sick at home
Baby, up, make me happen
Wake me up, make me fly
Weigh me up, give me the reason
The reason to feel alright
Dont you worry, sweet darling
Its gonna be alright
It seems that Ive been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
Picking up girls and diseases
That burn me up, burn me up
Been sleeping all my life
