Not In This Life
'Not in this life dear' she shyly told
I was too shy to be bold
She was just before me
Uncared, unmoved and free
She held my hand and whispered
Silently spelled and murmured
I had no sense to pick those words
I was floating with some request to lord
I am your inspiration alright
But whole world I can't fight
It may not be equally right
She was whispering very light
Whole of family and beautiful children behind
I can never be against them and be unkind
Some of the realities can't be turned blind
Look around and have suitable match to find
'Why you want to write about me' She raised head
I am dry leaf now and may provide no way to lead
You are my first preference but alas! No way out
What else is there o consider and talk about?
I gathered strength and tried to open speech
Tongue failed to speak and tried to reach
She could not bend properly to give effect
I cried within for my cowardice act
Will you not hold me till last?
Now I was moving very fast
Stared in her eyes and posed question
I want sacred and most desired relation
Please speak to me else I shall go insane
I am something else and not simple fan
I would love to be as near as possible
Can't you bail me out from trouble?
No love, you are sincere but won't work
She politely turned me down with jerk
I was simply grounded as crest fallen
She tried to speak and kept then mum even
I won't survive poetically
You are not mine physically
But what can be done in fact really
The relation to stand for worth beautifully

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

Young Poets
You speak for the lakes, the trees and the birds
You say what they'd say if they had the words.
Make PEACE and be proud, choose well every choice
Speak HOPE and speak loud, you are Nature's voice.
Speak with respect now, for jungles and streams,
Speak for all wildlife and dream giant dreams.
Speak with great courage, speak up and speak out,
Write with a whisper or write with a SHOUT!
Stand up young poets for clean air and rivers,
Free verse or lyric; your message delivers...
Truth to the future citizens of earth,
Speak of your freedom your friends and self worth.
Speak for tomorrow and though you're still young,
Speak for the Forest, your pen is her tongue.
The world waits to hear your songs still unsung
Words posses power, you can write the wrongs
Teach us and lead us with Poems and with songs.
Speak now for nature, for trees and for birds,
Defenders of Earth choose carefullly your words!

Unbearable plight
“I am in bad shape” complained a friend
Nothing is going well at my end
I wish I were dead
I have lost the sense in head
She was in so much stress
I could find some trace
She may be in real trouble
The life was proving like bubble
“I want to visit next world” she added
There may be some respite and new fold
I am disillusioned with happenings
Nothing is going well from the beginning
“Everything is going wrong” she went on
The world can not be won
I have done enough for people
Now I am helpless weak and unable
“Everybody stabbed me from the back” she had lot more complaints
I have lost everything and so much is at stake
I am dying of depression and worries
My end is near and hurries
“I am struggling for survival” she cursed
There is no hope for, revival
Whole family and people have turned
I have lost hope for peace to be returned
“No strength is left in me” she was more remorseful
I am prisoner and no more free
I think of hanging on tree
Let the end seem so tragic or be
“Dear, I have small daughter” she almost cried
Who will take care and look after
She too is passing same depression
Lord is cruel to us and same is impression
“Respected Lady” can you land your ears
I have seen over the years
The help can overcome your difficulties
If you maintain coolness with realities
She on the other hand reminded me of beautiful world
It has existed and she will prefer to go with boldness
The lord was unkind all these days and helped nothing
She has to do nothing but try to reach there for something
I consoled her by saying “He is only supreme”
Do not try to take hasty steps or go very extreme
Take His name when you are in dire need
He will definitely rush to you and feed
I could read more worries on her face
She had lost almost all in the race
I was merely trying to be a preacher
But she needed advice from the teacher
Well, see me after a week
I again consoled her and promised to speak
She will be alright and on the right track
I will hear it positively when again back
I had satisfaction of conveying right thing
One should not loose hope for anything
It is not helping in any way
There is always hope and bright ray

A silence
Silence may not be weakness
it may not be strictness too
it may speak in voumes
may be smeltt like perfumes
it is said and not done
battles are lost and not won
it has been only dreams
shrouded with only illusions
you may not be able to speak truth
you might have lacked the strength and prooof
this may turn hurdle in your approach
you may not have strength in your speech
When dreams are not realized?
You may may soon be marginalized
You will be feeling helplessness
It may create insecurity and bittterness
You need not grieve
You got to stand up and believe
It is not your day today
Find some alternative and suitable way
Speak out the truth in simple way
It may drag any worry miles awat
You mar realise the power of speech
It may be there within your reach

Speak Quietly
Speak more quietly
Because one could hear us well
The world is not ready for your tender words
The world is not ready for us
They would quiet simply say that we are insane
Speak more quietly, but still speak
Of the insane love, of the strong love
That we passionately share
Born out of your tender care
Because one could surprise us well
You know very well
The world would never understand
That in our hearts
We found that thing
Which the world refused to give us
Speak quietly love
I'll hold u close to my heart
The era of our love would start
We are in a world of our own
Sharing the love, which no-one have ever known
A word slip
You need to understand and allow
it is necessary to correctly follow
the words are like sharp edge of an arrow
it may hit in bull and show
The result is is for sure
before speaking anything you must assure
what words are to be spoken and for whom?
will it invite wrath or gloom?
It serves no purpose if fired in air
it will create horniest nest with split hair
the damage done may be far reaching
you must weigh the decision and resort to soul searching
It doesn't go well with loose talk
even you can be judged from your walk
The turn out and speech may reveal what you are
it may not allow you to go very far
The words prove very sharp
it may repeatedly strike and harp
you may have lots of things to reveal
the irony of fact is that you can not conceal
It is great tragedy if things are not properly conveyed
you may be left in lurch and totally dismayed
the damaging part must be immediately stayed
the skill is powerful weapon and must be carefully played
Words here and there may invite serious trouble
it may not die out easily like water bubble
it will stay in mind for long time to come
you will be strongly countered by more or some
The tongue has no bone
it may speak well and things are done
little use of offensive words means you are gone
the strong relation may be interrupted and undone
You speak at the back and they will bounce you back
the whole structure will be shaken even if supported by jack
it is creating mistrust and that brings an abrupt end
in relation and shutting the door for the friends
If spoken mildly or whispered gently in the ear
the friendship may last for many more years
it is creation of sacred bond that lasts forever
the words must find favor however
It might have been spoken unintentionally
the effect must be sidelined marginally
it is always taken care of generally
the harsh language or offensive words are not spoken usually
It is unbecoming of gentleman if one he can not understand simple courtsey
it can not shown or displayed by having wealth or money
This may automatically come by experience or passing of an age
the slip of tongue should avoided and leave some room to manage

Her love is my inspiration
Her love is my inspiration
Love is the inspiration for my heart to sing a tune,
love is the inspiration for my ear to hear,
love is the inspiration for my soul to warm,
love is the inspiration for my mouth to smile,
love is the inspiration for my eyes to glisten.
Love is the inspiration to draw my soul near another
love is the inspiration for my mouth to utter sweet words,
love is the inspiration for my eyes to gaze upon her,
love is the inspiration for my heart to speak out.
Love is the inspiration for need, love is the inspiration for my mouth to touch hers,
love is the inspiration for my eyes to close,
love is the inspiration for my heart to race,
love is the inspiration for my tears to burn.
Love is the inspiration for longing,
love is the inspiration for my eyes to see only her,
love is the inspiration for my heart to cry out,
love is the inspiration for my ear to hear her whispers,
love is the inspiration for my soul to join hers forever.
Love is the inspiration for forever,
love is the inspiration for my heart to be whole,
love is the inspiration for my ear to always hear those words,
love is the inspiration for my soul to have hers,
love is the inpiration for my mouth to speak the truth.
Love is the inspiration for my soul to seek life
love is the inspirationfor my ear to hear her words,
love is the inspiration for my soul to reach for her,
love is the inspiration for my mouth to speak her truths,
love is the inspiration for my eyes to always look upon her first,
For she is the inspiration for my Love.

Love knows...
Love knows no religion
It has no boundary with region
It flows from unknown destination
Makes permanent impact with strong relation
I know nothing about its definition
May be little spark needed for ignition
It engulfs two souls to come near and breathe
Make resolve and take vow till death
Love knows no bounds
It may speak honest and look sound
It pierces through heart and rules for ever
No one can attempt at it or simply dare
Sound may have some restriction to travel
Light may travel faster and speak well
Love is as simple and as transparent
Always considered as holy and heavenly sent
Eyes speak a lot with large volumes
Fragrance spread like perfumes
Only honest people can survive with it as they consume
Start new life with good aim and resume
I take it granted from birds
They mix easily and look forward
Meet whenever they find companion
Happy stay with strong union
I shall go by same feeling
It must come for soul so willing
That may spread like green on earth
Life changes and looks precious and worth

A less stress
No tesnsion or so much stress
The only way out is to confess
To go all out and think It over
I need no shelter or cover
I think friendship is treasure
It is thing of joy and for pleasure
It must be shared on equal sentiments
It has no scope for any other comments
Life may abe meaningless without love
It is like relation between water and dove
It can co exist with so much to give
It is firm commitmentt and words to believe
I would love to venture in open field
All feelings and care may be widely held
It is natural and has much to do with relation
Other material gain is out of question
It makes me to think seriously
I have longed for it continously
Now it has come to its logical end
I have found reliable and trusted friend
I may not claim it as prize catch
We are suitable and equall match
It may provide stable relation
I hope it to last it long without any cancellation
It has to be message of love and peace
I want to passs it with calm and at ease
It makes me to work more for harmony
It has been tried in past by many
What has been not understood so far?
We have seen it as cause of war
So much bloodshed was caused in past
That has been over since very last
The popularity can remain on top
If violaion is at full stop
Only peaceful atmosphere for living
Will help and strengthen the cause for believing

The sky and stars
The sky is studded with bright stars
Though with little shine but very far
Beyond my imagination and reach
I still go for it and try as such
I find teenagers on line
All beautifully dressed and looking fine
Red cheeks and face with beautiful shine
May not refuse if you politely invite to dine
They may have compelling reasons
It is possible the change might have been caused by seasons
There is boom in garden and flowers smile
All in different colors and zoom in air for while
One such flower appealed me a lot
She was not favorite or but preferred somewhat
It was different from others with lots of appeal
I went very close and urge to pick could not repeal
It presented a very wide smile
I had dread of such a flower for a while
Even though I was aging very fast
An urge from within could not die or last
“How nice, a beautiful presentation but can’t be mine”
I was slipping in sweet memory but got afraid of famine
Will this beauty may die soon or taken away?
Is there no other option open in my way?
There were whispering notes from near by
Flowers of different colors were showing their hands with bye
I was struck there with lots of confusion
I was overpowered with zeal and infusion
I must have at least one to accompany in life
I shall give the beautiful name as wife
Not all flowers are to be seen later on
As nice one has been picked to follow on
The whole garden seemed to me like universe
Heard all applauses for good work and no curse
I had some apprehensions in mind for selfish approach
I found nothing in particular as such
As I said all members are in their teens
Some may be hardly fifteens or sixteen
All out to find their match and very keen
To see the out side world on colorful screen
I offered my love to such beautiful queen
I presumed she was for quite long or even longer may have been
I do not know what had happened to her in between?
But she was desperate even though remained unseen
I thought for a while and decided not to fall
Such relation may be untimely and invite great fall
It would be advisable to go for matured relation
It may be healthy and more over good indication

Speak With Kindness (Or Do Not Speak At All)
speak with kindness,
or do not speak at all.
speak not of judgement,
you are not the judge.
speak not of salvation,
let your living be your scriptures.
speak not of scriptures,
let your actions be your holy book.
speak not as apostle or teacher,
speak as a human being.
speak not of god,
then god will speak through you!
speak not as a man,
for you are woman too.
speak not with hateful malice,
for love does not work that way.
speak not as a prophet or seer,
speak as compassion made flesh.
speak not of morality,
speak of connection.
speak not of authority,
the tree and the leaf have just as much.
speak not of holiness,
for all that lives be holy.
speak with kindness...
or do not speak at all!

I love
I love my creative work and simple friend
They may be from different background and trend
They seem to be gifted with lot of tact
I feel so small before them as matter of fact
I open my self to the close and intimate
Of course their entry in life is very late
I openly admit the fact and state
I accept them with love and never hate
It has bridged my sentiments with them
My endless love flows out of the stem
They unseat me from my position and claim
Very close acquaintance but never put blame
I feel nothing without them but offer no reaction
My eyes always speak for them with action
Young girls come so easily with frank admission
I have no option but to grant the permission
They may go in for any relation they prefer
I need not to stress for it and refer
One gets so much attached with long relation
It is true feeling that leads to the elation
I love to react cautiously with affirmation
It more painful to part with when results in negation
On line relation is not that difficult to maintain
Only you got to remain vigilant and sustain
They may be seen always on line and very active
Laden with problems and seemingly very passive
They may fall easily in line and open up
This is the only link that makes them runner up
Temptation is never fanned by the flame
Once if you are in then don’t feel shame
It produces sweet melody in song
It may remain for long even if you go wrong
I had surrendered and completely fallen through
It was only to her response “how are you”?
I was carrying red hot volcano in burning pot
I asked “will you be positively responding to it or not?
Eyes can’t hide it and tongue can’t speak
I have lost the nerve and become very weak
Slowly I breathe the air and painfully leave
Who to be blame for and made to believe

Not To Mention
I don't know why it occurred
I just looked at the sky and murmured
I took little sand from the ground and whispered
Put over head and silently uttered
'You were all along my inspiration'
I used to tell her when was at high peak with relation
She will smile and offer no words
But yes she remained my world
I lived beautiful moments in her company
She was never known to so many
Except me and few more to whom I knew
She was indeed exceptional creature to view
Very liberal, innocent and kind at heart
She was on earth as beautiful art
A rare combination of beauty with intelligence
I used to take pride in her presence
'You will miss me so much one day'
She woke me up from deep sleep to say
Will it happen in days to come?
I was sore at thought and did not welcome
Things have moved rapidly
I hardly remember it vividly
She is no more with me today
But she has shown me the way
I wish to write words from my heart
I take pen in hand and make good start
Comparing her to that of moon
But rub and over write something soon
She can't be put in exact words with imagination
She is holding my hand for not to make any revelation
'We are not for people's fancy and cruel joke'
She may suddenly come before eyes and disappear in smoke
'Yes you are absolutely right'
My tearful eyes may try to see the light
She will make no move to go away
I have found her in me but not to mention in any way

Jen's Wall
Love appears and with disappearance of hatred
Life begins and there is joy and happiness to lead
With her at complete command of new scene
She is at her best and usually not seen
She is in mediation
In search of new relation
To find secrets of eternal peace
Life further to be spent at ease
She has it in the vicinity
Yet unable to define serenity
She has deep sense and quality
Purest form of love and ability
May find the light
With much to offer and fight
That may take her to the tunnel
With flash of light to see and tell
Wells are dried up with no trace
No love and feelings on the face
People have turned cruel and senseless
A dream to realize with madness to chase
You are hope for self and family
That is good sign as whole really
You can cherish and live with aim
From here you can assert and claim
Draw the lines and define properly
The life may seem then very much orderly
You are the one to take correct decision
Life is with you to be lead with precision
Jen has impregnable wall
Not possible to breach or create hole
She is towering strength for times to come
Love at heart and ready to welcome
She has entire and exclusive smile
Life is still with charm to go for a while
It has accommodated family and friends as well
There is more to reveal and tell

Angel (feat. Regina Bell)
Regina Bell harmonizing while DMX speaks]
What good is it..
for a man to, gain the world..
yet lose his own soul, in the process?
[Bell] God loves you, yes he does
Said you're alright with him
[DMX] I wonder..
Chorus: Regina Bell (repeat 2X)
I know you never seen him but don't fight with him
You're gonna make it through the night to the light with him
Uhh, you're alright with him
I said you're alright with him
[DMX]
I'm callin out to you Lord, because I need your help
See once again I'm havin difficulty savin myself
behavin myself, you told me what to do, and I do it
But every and now and then, gets a little harder to go through it
Losin friends, day by day
I'm in so much pain when I'm here Lord, please take me away
I put you here to do a job, and your work ain't done
To live is to suffer, but you're still my son
And there will be a time when you shine as bright as the stars
But there won't be a, his or hers, just ours
Then you'll see what I've been tryin to show you, all these years
Do the right thing; cause after the tears, come the cheers
I will, my Lord, with my heart, and my soul
That's gonna be how I roll, from now until I'm old
Lead and I'll follow, you take away the sorrow
I'ma sleep on what you said and holla back tomorrow
Chorus
[DMX]
I want you to know Lord, that for what you've given me I'm thankful
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I'm grateful
You gave us power in our words, so I think before I speak
And that way when I speak, they know I'm here to teach
Can't tell em nothin wrong, cause I love em too much
I reach a lot of people, and Lord, I'm lovin the touch
But deep inside, I've got somethin that's workin against
everything I know is right, what I know makes sense
That's when you must fight harder, than you've ever fought before
cause what you've got goin on inside you is a war
between good and evil, be careful of those who wanna be you
They smile, but are not really happy when they see you
Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high
Cause when the time comes, that one'll let you die
Listen to me! I'm here, but I can only help you
if you want me to help, what do you want for yourself?
Chorus
[DMX]
My Lord, my saviour, don't judge my behaviour
but instead, take what's in my heart and put it in my head
See I guess I really never knew, how proud I made you
My life is yours, my soul I gave you
I don't know if I'll do good enough (he's by your side)
And we both know the hood is rough (right by your side)
Sometimes I don't know what to do (X, dry your eyes)
But I know what I gotta do (it'll be alright)
You keep givin me the word, and I'll put it to song
Talk to me, I'll talk to them, and we can't go wrong
This is the start of somethin strong, and this is just the start of it
Praises to you my Lord, for lettin me be a part of it
I was that kid that, been there, did that
Became ashamed so I hid that
But, ain't no longer with that
Use me as an example - if I can do, then they can too
With the Lord behind us, there ain't nothin that we can't do
Chorus
[Regina Bell]
He's by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
cause it'll be alright
Yeah, he's by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause, it'ssssssssss gonna be alright
Yeah yeah, yes it isssssssssss

Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
Recorded by hank williams
Words and music by pee wee king and redd stewart
[c] travelin [g7] down a lonely high-[c] way
I knew not [f] where the road would [c] end
Not a [f] penny in my [c] pocket
All a-[g7] lone without a [c] friend
In a [g7] little country [c] village
I met a [f] man and he was [c] blind
As I [f] helped him cross the high-[c] way
Oh! [am] lord I cried his [c] burdens are [g7] greater than [c] mine.
I can [f] see the light of day
I [c] need not feel my way
Yes, thy burdens are [g7] greater than [c] mine.
Met a lad while on my travels
Tryin hard to play the game
Though his leg was very crippled
And he could not speak his name
Yet, he smiled in understandin
Though life to him had been unkind
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow
Oh! lord his burdens are greater than mine.
I can speak my name aloud
Make my way among the crowd
Yes, his burdens are greater than mine.
Just by chance I passed a graveyard
I saw a young man kneelin there
In his hand, there were some roses
On his lips, there was a prayer
On a stone, these words were written
your soul is gods, your memry mine
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow
Oh! lord I see his burdens are greater than mine.
