Fundamental of Liar Chapter CVII: Despite
Despite how many percent, it is still a thank you
Despite how ridiculous the sound, it is still a responsible
Despite how long the waiting, it is still a hope
Despite how fake the atmosphere, it is still a happiness
Despite how bad the luck, it is still a life
Despite how dim the light, it is still a fight
Despite how high the dignity, it is still a loss
Despite how fragile the peace, it is still a relief
Despite how tiny the defect, it is still an imperfect
Despite how sweet the benefit, it is still a lie
Despite how thin the sincerity, it is still a sorry

My Peace
My peace is at a piece of paper
So thin and light
And could be blown by slightest wind
My peace is at eaves
So close yet fragile
And could fall by careless step
My peace is at sway of wave
Sometimes high, sometimes low
And could sweep me in one row
My peace is at seconds
So short and precious
And could quickly vanish before you realize
My peace is at candle in the dark
So tiny and unreasonable
But my heart is hanging on it
My peace is at the rush
So troubled but soothing
It makes me don’t care about the pursuing time
My peace is at the hand of shadow
So vague and naïve
But it allures me to dream and believe
My peace is at the lost
Breaking and torturing
But in the end I always learn it’s the way the life goes on

Imperfectly
Can I help it if Im not neat
If there were creeps before you
How can I help you if I am weak?
If I dont know how to help me
But I love you, I love you
Imperfect, imperfect, imperfectly
I love you imperfect, imperfect, imperfectly
Can I help it if Im high strung
If I was born with a sharp tongue
Will you marry me if I stay sweet?
If I am the one with the cold feet
I love you, I love you
Imperfect, imperfect, imperfectly
I love you imperfect, imperfect imperfectly
I love you imperfect, imperfect, imperfectly
Imperfectly, imperfectly, imperfectly, imperfectly
Imperfectly, imperfectly, imperfectly

And In The House
And in the house
All is now silent
I rise and grope
In the dark, dark
And lo! Before me
A blue light I
A thin blue light
See I all a-shining
And leading me
And guiding me
Into the dark
In the long night
In to the long night!
Ah! father, father
Where are
You leading me:
The thin blue light
Now veers to here
And then to there
Now up
Now down
It plays:
And in the night
The long lone night
The seconds turn and turn!
And in the house
The lonely house
A soundless sound
Is humming:
The light
The thin blue light
Is leading still leading
And in the night
No time is passing
No hope of dawn
Or day
Is coming:
But dark
And dark:
Yet in the night
This night
Of black
A thrill felt I
And happiness
That never felt!

Perfect? ? ?
I am a creature
of the light.
who prefers to cast no shadow,
nor enter a fight.
Yet life forces you
to take descisions,
and face
the impending implications.
There was such a fight
which I was made to contest,
where only might was right,
a thing I strongly detest.
The rules were few,
the tricks too many.
I was asked to gamble dollars,
when all I had was a penny.
I tried to retain
my precious principles
ignoring that in politics,
ther's no place for scruples.
'When in Rome,
do like the Romans do'
so the world preached
which I didn't listen to.
Being the obstinate mule that I am,
I fought the fight my way.
And now on losing, I realise,
Might's right at the end of the day.
Do principles work?
I ponder.
And as the question remains unanswered,
I wonder.
So do I abandon,
the old-fashioned timeworn morals?
And cunningly outsmart the world,
to win all it's laurels?
In this imperfect place,
when you strive to be perfect,
is it so impossible,
that it can be called a defect?
I am a creature
of the light.
Engulfed by darkness,
with no hope in sight.

Little Bird Song
Theres a little bird
Somebody sent down to earth
To live along the wind
Blowing on the wind
And she sleeps on the wind
This little bird, somebody sent
Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eyes
Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eyes
Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
And the only time that she touches ground
Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird dies

From The Cantata For N. F. S. Grundtvig
His day was the greatest the Northland has seen,
It one was with the midnight-sun's wonders serene:
The light wherein he sat was the light of God's true peace,
And that has never morning, nor night when it must cease.
In light of God's peace shone the
history
he gave,
The spirit's course on earth that shall conquer the grave.
Might of God's pure peace thus our
fathers'
mighty way
Before us for example and warning open lay.
In light of God's peace he beheld with watchful eye
The people at their work and the spirit's strivings high.
In light of God's pure peace he would have all learning glow,
And where his word is honored the 'Folk-High-Schools' must grow.
In light of God's peace stood 'mid sorrow and care
For Denmark's folk his comfort, a castle strong and fair;
In light of God's pure peace there shall once again be won
And thousand-fold increased, what seems lost now and undone.
In light of God's peace stands his patriarch-worth,
The sum and the amen of a manful life on earth.
In light of God's pure peace how his face shone, lifted up,
When white-haired at the altar he held th' atoning cup.
In light of God's peace came his word o'er the wave,
In light of God's pure peace sound the sweet psalms he gave.
In light of God's pure peace, as its sunbeam curtains fall
To hide him from us, stands now his memory for all.

Love Me (Villanelle)
Love me with sincerity,
with the true feelings in your heart
in times of loss and of prosperity
while our influence linger into posterity
and may our lives never part.
Love me with t sincerity,
as if our words and deeds are more than surety
in truthfulness that is something of an art
in times of loss and of prosperity
and when we are old without any dexterity
may our feelings then last and never depart.
Love me with sincerity
that brings feelings to a kind of clarity,
that daily anew does start
in times of loss and of prosperity.
and may we constantly act in solidarity
as if nothing our affections can thwart.
Love me with sincerity,
in times of loss and of prosperity.

Poem Of Hope
Life is hope.
Hope of being happy in life.
Hope of being adjusting in life.
Hope of being able to achieve achievements in life.
Hope of being cared by some-one in life.
Hope of being loved by some-one in life.
Hope of being nice to every-one in life.
Hope of being responsible to loved-one in life.
Hope of light to see in darkness.
Hope of sunshine after the rain.
Hope of help in time of troubles.
Hope of wind in time of grief.
Hope of being alive to fulfill our duties.
Hope of joy to overcome sadness.
Hope of encouragement to overcome fear.
Hope of getting hope in life is hope.

963: Peace n happiness wish...
Love is so beautiful,
In love there is loss,
Life is still beautiful,
Do not cause loss,
If it occurs to you,
Just accept it.
None causes loss,
It just happens,
Forgive those,
Who appear to have,
Caused loss to you,
Forgiveness is noble.
Let her be happy,
And at peace,
If she could not,
She would have a reason,
Let god take care of her,
Wish her happiness and peace.

Loss of Time
A forgotten time
A forgotten society
A forgotten land
A forgotten people
A time of peace
A time of war
A time of grieving
A time of celebration
A time of loss
A loss of knowledge
A loss of dignity
A loss of loved ones
A loss of sanity
A loss of peace
A beginning of a new time
A beginning of new life
A beginning of new knowledge
A beginning of new peace
A beginning of new war
Its all a cycle
From a new beginning
To loss
To a time of difference
Till it is all forgotten
And a new beginning is forged.

To Green
Oh! my green; Oh! my green
Where are you? Where can be seen?
Up above my chin
You are so thin;
I held you,
Saw you on tiny drops
Shining and shining
After shower found you smiling.
Where are you - going thin and thin
Oh! my green, Oh! my green.
Tempest came;
Came wearing wealthy jackets
Laid the traps showing lollypops.
It took my hands charmed on me
Studded with rubies (like) to fake me
Than I scramble and long for you
Repent my sin
Oh! my green, Oh! my green.

See What luck Can Bring
Luck can bring you joy that is true
So better stay alert and clearly view
And try to understand things that are new
And see what luck can bring in flying hues
Sometimes you feel that your sorrow is deep
And you cannot do anything else but to weep
But remember taht some times happiness leap
And you have to wake your luck from sleep
So instead of just quietly passing your days
wake up and search for the happiness rays
And look for the stairs in your way
That will lead you where happiness stays
But remember for that you first have to arrange
Your messed up life and then you must change
Your attitude towards things that are strange
And then reach out for the range
And l; earn how you can properly greet
Things taht are worthwhile and sweet
And hope that one day you will meet
Happiness and fain ready to kiss your feet
And then luck will bring you joy that is true
And surely one day you will fainly view
Good things that are all nice and new
Will meet you in luck's way with flying hues.

Loss Of Happiness
Loss of happiness is a disease
that ends up in stopping the breeze
Of joy and fain from your life
And leave you in misery to survive
So don't let happiness slip away
Or even start any of your day
Without glimpse of happiness dear
For happiness is a pill that is rare
So learn now how to make it
So you can fill your every life's bit
With the rays of joy to see
Happiness all waiting just for thee.

I Hope You're Never Happy
Writer Dolly Parton
I wish you all the luck I wish you only the best
Satisfaction in love, and true happiness
I wish you blue skies and rainbows, I wish you joy pure and sweet
I wish you all that you wish for, but only if you're with me
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me
I wish you nothin' but trouble if you've decided to leave
I'm just not like those heroes found in books and on TV
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me
I have had you too long, I have given too much
I have loved you too strong to think of giving you up
I've always envied those lovers that wish you well when you leave
And wish you luck with another; but there are others like me
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me
And every face you look into, I hope you're haunted by me
Yes, I'm possessive and jealous; at least I speak honestly
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me
I'm just not like those heroes found in books and on TV
I hope you're never happy, never ever ever happy
Never ever ever happy
With anybody but me
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me
I wish you nothin' but trouble if you've decided to leave
I'm just not like those heroes found in books and on TV
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me
I hope you're never happy
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me
I hope you're never happy

What is loss?
I resent
What loss represents
I resent
What great loss presents
So what’s the fuss about loss?
Waiting!
Debating!
Contemplating!
What is loss?
Something you care about
Taken away from you by force
Creating total unforgivable chaos
Thinking!
Blinking!
Seeking!
What is loss
It is a minus instead of a plus
Hence the unmistakable fuss
Death and sickness build up great grief
Loss brings despair instead of relief
And in loss itself I have no belief
I resent
What loss represents
I resent
What great loss presents
Loss! An inequitable cause
Thrown on you without a toss
So you become very cross
Because in your life you realize, you are never the only boss!

Sonnet- Take Risks In Life
When Dame Luck smiles and you don't welcome her,
And little risks in Life, you fail to take;
When chances come, you fail to much bother;
To higher rungs in Life, you can't then make.
For, Life is full of risks we learn to take;
Sometimes our decisions are incorrect;
With time, we know the genuine from the fake;
Sometimes, we must be bold tho' imperfect.
At anytime, we must know fully well,
Our strengths and weaknesses and our talents;
Delaying things should not turn one's life hell;
Let lucky doors, windows vent labour -tents.
So, take what chances Life seems to offer;
And turn Dame Luck's broad smile into laughter.

Happiness Is
Happiness is like a river flowing down from heven.
Happiness is like a brook that has the sound of peace.
Happiness is like a bunch of flowers in a medow.
Happiness is like a dove souring through the sky.
Happiness is being nice to an enemy even when it is hard.
Happiness is a box of chocolates on Valintines Day.

Gone At Last
Words & music by paul simon
The night was black, the roads were icy
Snow was fallin, drifts were high
And I was weary, from my driving
And I stopped to rest for a while
I sat down at a truck stop
I was thinking about my past
Ive had a long streak of bad luck
But Im praying its gone at last
Gone, gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But Im prayin its gone at last
00, oo, oo, oo, oo
I aint dumb
I kicked around some
I dont fall too easily
But that boy looked so dejected
He just grabbed my sympathy
Sweet little soul now, whats your problem?
Tell me why youre so downcast
Ive had a long streak of bad luck
But Im praying its gone at last
Gone, gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But Im prayin its gone at last
00, oo, oo, oo, oo
Once in a while from out of nowhere
When you dont expect it, and youre unprepared
Somebody will come and lift you higher
And your burdens will be shared
Yes I do believe, if I hadnt met you
I might still be sinking fast
Ive had a long streak of bad luck
But Im praying its gone at last
Gone, gone, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But Im prayin its gone at last
Gone, gone, gone gone gone gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But Im prayin its gone at last
