A woman’s predicament
I had to forgo a painting I coveted,
For its formidable tag.
I had to forgo a tempting show
For its exorbitant cost.
I had to forgo a favourite concert
For its inconvenient site.
Don’t think that I have no heart
For I don’t get to you, men.

Satisfaction Must Merit
Forgo the happiness that the conscience bars.
Forgo the happiness you don't deserve.
Forgo the happiness beyond your means.
Forgo the happiness revenges would fetch.
Forgoing such happiness will gain you
Satisfaction which will leave no scars.

Forgo All and Be United
This is my message to all youngster
forgo all and be united
because you have to face
the upcoming roars
you are the future of this world
so be ready for the next world
where the human seed will be sown
So, forgo all and be united
but before creating a new world
you have to prove
you are capable to carryout the next world
So, forgo all and be united
and be co-operative
extend your hand for a delightful life
extend your hand
to maintain natural harmony and
pack up your luggage
for a next world.

Heaven and hell
To attain heaven
You have to forgo heavenly pleasure To To avoid hell
You have to do a hell of activities.

Women are martyrs
Loss of virtue in a female
Is irretrievable.
One’s reputation is no less brittle
Than it is beautiful.
With this inculcated,
Women could ward off men
And forgo her erotic pleasure.
Women are great martyrs.

We are content to forgo joy when pain is also lost.
Forgo
To forgo your plans and to look for another way,
But help her to look for her lover!
For you are a trusted adult.

Across the sea
Come homeward ships
With freight of boys.
And still must we
Forgo the joys
Of meeting lips.

Life counts from happiness.
If you can pull on without that pound
That you earn with some humiliation
You had better forgo such earnings.
Life must consist of ego’s happiness.

The Last Day....
the last day in your life
is in your mind
when the mind shuts up
then that is it
the last day is at the tip
of the last word
that slips from out of your
tongue
that in a minute you
remember
but in the last second
you forgo
because it is just it
ping!

At The Front Row
What is after the sixth number
Surpasses the seventh number
He who must lick the honey in the rock
Must care less on the fate of the axe
Many request to be made kings
They like the garments of kings
They want to be called his majesty
But the clout to serve is not in them
Many wants the crowns on their heads
Yet they detest the process of making the crown
Many never realised the crown is heavy
He who must wear the beaded cap
Must be skilful in in serving
Although the front row looks sweet
The front row may be tempting
He who must lead
Must be ready to forgo all
There must be no veil
The front row is without facade

Admiration only
Never stop
To reach a top
Journey is open
Only routes you open
May be little strange
Difficult to manage
Still long way to go
Carry along and nothing to forgo
It is right time
Always goal and not crime
It is expected and desired
Not by all but by one always admired

Your Love Give Me Hope
You have given me hope for a better tomorrow
like an angel guiding me out of my sorrow.
My fears I want to let go
but can my past I forgo?
I ask you this as you have my heart
will you always be there so we may never part?
I don't have much to give
but I will give you my everyday to live.
I love life and what it has to give
because through the depths of sorrow I have learnt to live

The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. Part II: To Juliet: LIII
THE SAME CONTINUED
Farewell, then. It is finished. I forgo
With this all right in you, even that of tears.
If I have spoken hardly, it will show
How much I loved you. With you disappears
A glory, a romance of many years.
What you may be henceforth I will not know.
The phantom of your presence on my fears
Is impotent at length for weal or woe.
Your past, your present, all alike must fade
In a new land of dreams where love is not.
Then kiss me and farewell. The choice is made
And we shall live to see the past forgot,
If not forgiven. See, I came to curse,
Yet stay to bless. I know not which is worse.

A Song in Melancholy
I have no soul to share my joys and woe;
I have no one to tell my grief, sorrow;
I ask myself, “Have I asked things far more? ”
But this is how my life will have to go!
I have no one to share my ken and so,
I have to talk to myself or forgo;
What can I do if opens not new door?
I have to put my ambitions in store!
