Feeble Friendship
Unseen, unmet, yet
We're friendies
And
Friendship trendy this
Friendly dewlike
As
Remain, retain some
Only shorttime
And
Remain retain short
Somesites also

Strong Relation
I am not capable to
retain you for long
And you remind me
Strong relation.
Dramatic changes are being made
in my life profiles
And you remain the same
tilldate.
See I am terrified
See I am dormant
And there is no end
of this day that
one can declare loser.
I am not capable to
retain you for long
And the dictum prevails.

Painting directly from nature is difficult as things do not remain the same; the camera helps to retain the picture in your mind.

Privy Purse
Privy purse abolished
We remain fascinated
By royalty
Sands of time never
Gone from us
We retain pride
For our ancestry.

Hope
'Hope takes us entirely out of this world while we remain bodily in the midst of it. Our minds retain their clear views of what is good in creatures. Our wills remain chaste and solitary in the midst of all created beauty...' Thomas Merton, No Man Is An Island
Clear and whole,
the moon waits,
patient,
solitary self
chastly gazing
to the blazing east
to the new sun,
the good day.

I was blown away by the standing ovation. I've had tributes before, sure, but I don't retain that feeling, and I wasn't prepared for it on Tuesday. But maybe you shouldn't retain these things or you'd be on a permanent high.

What The Future Holds For Us
What the future holds for us we are not to know
But our past it goes with us to where-ever we go
Your best years in life to the forever gone
But your past in your memory it is living on
Many friends of your past you may never more see
But they do remain young in your memory
And for as long as the gift of memory you retain
Mental pictures of them with you will remain
But the present is what matter as some are known to say
And only in memory we have yesterday
And tomorrow at dawn the songbirds will sing
But who knows what tomorrow for us will bring
But we will live till we die like the sheep or the cow
And we only can live in the here and the now.

A Single Identity
Notwithstanding how you view the morn,
Or see the sunrise and the dawn,
Over the high mountain Alps,
Or over the vast blue sea, or desert sand,
The sky shall be and always retain,
Its one single identity!
Notwithstanding how you share your
heart,
Or break it up into many parts,
And share its love with many or few,
Your heart shall be one and the same,
A single heart it shall remain!
No matter how you live this life,
Through your childhood, manhood and
old age,
And live through all its different stage,
Your life shall be one, just the same!
Since only one life is your due,
Live it well and then bid adieu!
Let us then share our lives and our hearts,
As we share the sky with life on earth,
And with mankind let us maintain,
A single identity forever retain!
Crazy Jane On God
That lover of a night
Came when he would,
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
Banners choke the sky;
Men-at-arms tread;
Armoured horses neigh
In the narrow pass:
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
I had wild jack for a lover;
Though like a road
That men pass over
My body makes no moan
But sings on:
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
Before their eyes a house
That from childhood stood
Uninhabited, ruinous,
Suddenly lit up
From door to top:
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
Oh, that lover of a night
Came when he would,
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.

Crimes
Having a problem, turn on the TV
Got too much money, give it to me.
I'll say what you wanna hear,
Do what you think I should.
'Cause I'm on your side,
Don't be misunderstood.
Will I retain my sanity?
Or tumble into vanity?
Effect all of Humanity,
You will pay.
Reach out for something, escape reality.
Insane suicide, pay the penalty.
Don't see what's the final move,
On how to play the game.
Don't think you'll end up like them.
Don't think that you're the same.
Will I retain...
Murder you justify, so your hands are clean.
Carry out the task you set,
Homage to the green.
Taking life without a care,
Sadist of a kind.
Making you into a man,
A man without a mind.
Will I retain...
Do I control my destiny,
Or there's a higher authority,
That commits atrocity.
I fear for humanity.

What can I do
What can I do other than to forgo?
Jack and Carolyn will not allow me to
My arm is grabbed and openly twisted
I am forcefully subdued and listed
Yes, it is but with friendly love
How does one poet honor with love and be loved
I have no where to go but to align
I smilingly resign and willingly sign
The feelings are there and may even stay
No one can think of going away
How can breathe be taken without air?
They are reasonable and very fair
Friendship and love are always together
The responsibility to share and solder
It must grow stronger and stronger
No one should have mistrust any longer
Your love and affection doesn’t spare
I find no such place any where
You will shelter me and hide
Let everything remain open and not to confide
Let us not talk or remain in contact
But friendship should always be intact
Let there be no reason to react
Long for each others with mute act

Let them not slip
If your son hides from you doing something,
You must shut your eyes to retain his love.
If your spouse does something in secret,
You must shut your eyes to retain her bond

Where do we suffer?
To rise is not as hard
As to remain there,
To reach is not as hard
As to stay on there.
To grasp is not as hard
As to hold fast there.
To gain is not as hard
As to retain it.
To love is not as hard
As to sustain it.
To keep is the problem
We buy for ourselves.

I’ll be born again and again
What desire comes to your mind,
You yourself have no control over.
I had many uncanny thoughts.
Be India without summer.
Be England without winter.
I want freedom of sex
To have whom I love
Or at least the one mutually loved.
I want a long innings
Without being bowled or caught.
I want to retain lust till the end.
But all wants remain unfulfilled.
I shall be born again and again.

Ah! Yet Consider it Again!
"Old things need not be therefore true,"
O brother men, nor yet the new;
Ah! still awhile the old thought retain,
And yet consider it again!
The souls of now two thousand years
Have laid up here their toils and tears,
And all the earnings of their pain,--
Ah, yet consider it again!
We! what do we see? each a space
Of some few yards before his face;
Does that the whole wide plan explain?
Ah, yet consider it again!
Alas! the great world goes its way,
And takes its truth from each new day;
They do not quit, nor can retain,
Far less consider it again.

I see You in everything
The words in Your book remain
scribbled in my heart,
in memory to retain
and from them I cannot part.
If loving You
is a true art,
like a colouring with its own unique hue
then from its principles I cannot depart
as I see You in everything
in everyone’s face
even in the early spring
in every season, time and place:
Even in the blue sky, there are praises due to You
as if to You, everything beautiful remains true.

Do not tell a lie
Do not tell alie
If you want to
remain away
from chickenpox.
De not tell a lie
If you want to
remain here with me
in this truthful fort.
Forward yourself
with all forswear
you are not here
to remain here
and you are here
to remain here.
Forsooth forgetfulness
and forgiveness
makes us alive.
Foreclose that are
on our road of belief.

Death shatters lives
Death shatters lives, breaks relationships
and yet from being small
in the background
my father still lingers
with his arms stretched out
as if protecting,
reasoning with my better self
to retain integrity, to remain
the man of which
he set the example
and in my keenness to write,
my thoughts of God,
even my tastes in food
is somewhat determined
by the man that he was
but in his absence I have developed
a thing to cling,
to each and everything
that has meaning for me,
with the fear of lost
of family, animals and friends.

Friendly Smile
Friendly smiles can bring alot
Joy and fun and pleasure
So try to retain this art
As it is great life's treasure
For when you smile with your heart
It spread joy all along
And bring you life's true fun
To sing you like a song
So give your friendly smiles to all
And make them feel its true
That they are many who truly cares
And wish happiness all for you.

No nation which refuses to exercise forbearance and to respect the freedom and rights of others can long remain strong and retain the confidence and respect of other nations. No nation ever loses its dignity or good standing by conciliating its differences and by exercising great patience with, and consideration for, the rights of other nations.
