The myth and the mirth
If she were mine and I, hers
How happy I would be!
It is only a myth
And yet it gives me mirth.

On The Verge Of
Though alchemists in every continent worked hard,
to change the cheap metals into the precious gold,
they had never succeeded as it was not the truth,
hidden in the electronic configuration and a myth,
myth of mummy's resurrection from the pyramids and a cave,
myth of witch's spell and poor women's haunted look,
myth of piped piper and the following of the rats loot,
myth of the split ocean that paved the way for the joy walk,
myth of human intelligence and its relation to the races,
myth of ether that found in the space,
myth of flat earth, myth of spirit,
all are not lies, but steps taken to find the truth,
truth hidden in nature, that has hundred more elements,
everything derived from these, even the love and lust,
even the diseases and wellness,
concept and convenience of communication,
We have found something to explore other things,
we cloned the new things to produce substitute organs,
We are one step backward to find that God,
Who controls us to be happy and sad,
Creation of life in a cell, then,
Man will be the creator, until then,
Would we be alive or would we be destroyed,
if Gods of religions like to keep the secret or,
the intelligence of human dig its own grave.

how do you know that God is a myth?
a myth
like the sphinx
and the phoenix
as the story goes
on and on
somehow
there was this death
at the end
and then immortality
in the same way
that my God
died and lived
forever
killing a myth
can be another myth
like asking how do you kill a myth
that does not exist?
when you finally give the correct answer
about our humanity
the sphinx gets killed.

Beat It On Down The Line
Well this job Ive got is just a little too hard,
Running out of money, lord, I need more pay.
Gonna wake up in the morning lord, gonna pack my bags,
Im gonna beat it on down the line.
Im goin down the line, goin down the line,
Goin down the line, goin down the line,
Goin down the line, goin down the line,
Beat it on down the line.
Yes Ill be waiting at the station lord, when that train pulls on by,
Im going back where I belong.
Im going back to that same old used-to-be,
Down in joe browns coal mine.
Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine.
Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine.
Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine.
Down in joe browns coal mine.
Yeah, Im goin back to that shack way across that railroad track,
Uh huh, thats where I think I belong.
And thats where Im gonna make my happy home.
Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home.
Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home.
Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home.
Thats where Im gonna make my happy home.

I Want To Be Happy
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too
Life's really worth living
When we are mirth-giving
Why can't I give some to you?
When skies are gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too

No formal wishes
‘Happy birth day’, I need not say to my kids.
‘Happy Christmas’, I need not tell my spouse.
‘Happy New Year’, I need not say to my siblings.
Wishes are to the people mentally away from us.

Mirth
Mirth and flexability, flexability and mirth
these are the keys to a happy life:
small care how far your face falls
if you can raise it again with a laugh.

Each affair is the only affair.
She and I had a sojourn,
a memorable sojourn.
It is not my first, nor was it hers.
It is not my last, nor is it hers.
Yet we held it as if a maiden
and refused to believe otherwise.
This myth takes us to mirth.

I Am Happy Today
Im happy today
Im truly happy
For the first time
In a long time
Im happy today
Because i've found him
The one
The one i am completely
In love with
For he is the reason
Im happy today
I smiled to myself today
And someone asked me
Why I'm smiling
I just answered
With an even bigger smile
I couldn't tell them
The reason behind my smile
No, not for what you're thinking
But for the simple fact
That he is mine
only mine
If i tell them the reason
behind my smile
Then in a way
I lose a small piece of him
He wont be all mine anymore
If someone else knows about him
Will he?
So i stay quiet
And keep smiling
Because i am happy
To have found him
He is the reason
I am happy today

Sexual currents
The shadows of yours and mine mingled
As we were bodily separated though.
The eyes of yours and mine crossed
As it was a fraction of second though.
Enough! It gives me sexual currents.

Enjoy the path
In blind devotion, Andal,
In pursuit of art, Madhavi,
In servitude, Nandanar,
In meditation, Ramana Mahrshi,
In love, Ampikhabathi,
Found a thrill and hence pursued.
Each act in a way gave them bliss.
Take a path that gives you mirth.
Connotation beyond which is a myth.

myth and abuse...by Talile Ali
we all are human
what is the use
all are victims
of myth and abuse
humans like to mess around
we don't think we're sluts
only when it's women,
then we soil all they touch
add to that the reality of
old men with young girls together
we accept it like that as lust and love
older women and young boys together
we see as cougars out slumming with thugs
myth and abuse
myth and abuse
so much insanity
based on lies and misuse
myth and abuse
myth and abuse
the bible or the Koran
to abuse our needs, such a ruse
so if you feel you
have a right to mess around and feed
cause your better half is dead
or even worse won't address your needs
no matter what the gender
be you male or female
you got to be yourself
and know you got to get nailed
we need to put an end
to all of this senseless abuse
we can shut down this game
and help each other to see the truth
we find love where it is
and thats just a fact
so long as they are adults
and mature, not just an act
end the myth and abuse
by being thoughtful and secure
and not deceiving each other
just to manipulate and procure
it ain't that kind of thing
we all like good lovin
it just needs to be said
to the other, not druggin
keep tryin every day
keep tryin every way
the thing that will help you the most
is being honest, today.
OK?

I'm Happy
I'm so happy when I see you smile,
Especially if I have'nt seen you in a while.
And I go delirious like a child.
I'm so happy when I see your face,
I am so happy, that's just the case.
That I walk around in a lovers daze.
I'm happy when I hear your voice,
Even though I loose my poise,
Just like a child with his favorite toys.
I'm happy just to know your'e mine,
I'm happy when I wake and find,
That you were next to me all the time.

Forever Begins Right Now
Oh I, Im so happy that youre mine
From now til the end of time
Forever begins right now
Everybody thought that we
Were doomed from the start
But nobody knows what I see
When I look in your heart
They said we didnt equal
Now were writing us a sequel
And Im giving you the starring role
And I know they dont believe it
But I swear Im never leaving Ill be here
Until the credits role
Nothing they can do
No matter what they say
On top of the world
Cause shes with me
Oh I, Im so happy that youre mine
From now til the end of time
Forever begins right now
The way you look at me
I see my world in your eyes
And even though its shattered
It doesnt really matter
Its just you and I
Everything is better when
Its you and me together
And were proving everybody wrong
The motor is revin
Were rolling through heaven
And the angles are singing our song
Oh I, Im so happy that youre mine
From now til the end of time
Forever begins right now
Bright as the morning
You light up the night
Were so far from normal
And it feels so right
It feels so right, Im so happy that youre mine
From now til the end of time
Forever begins right now
Oh I, Im so happy that youre mine
From now til the end of time
Forever begins right now
Forever begins right now
Forever begins right now

As Long As You're Happy
Today i met a lonely girl
with a touch of magic
i've been waiting for someone like her
I'm so happy
She let's me know of her love
i give her all of mine
My Angel sent from above
i tell her all the time cause i'm so happy
Now what was once 2 lonely souls
tonight we sleep, arms in arms
i found someone to love and hold
i wonder if she's happy
Love is here, just in time
my dark world has begun to shine
wherever i go, i want her near
cause she's what makes me happy
How long will this love last?
still can't believe she's mine
So attractive with a past so tragic
i'll do anything for her just as long as she's happy
She seems to hold and kiss me less
i feel so cold, her lips are blessed
i hope she never strays from me
she's what keeps me happy
She wants to free, it's in her eyes
Away from me, let her decide
an eclipse is what she sees in mine
cause love has made me happy
Then came the day, i lost my heart
she's gone away, forever we part
I find myself back in the dark
where nobody can be happy
I would hold you in my arms
No other hand in my palms
i thought the love of ours would last
she wants me to be happy
Forget about me
life has been tragic
im'a wait in the rain for you
just to see you happy
I'm stuck in a world where demons grab me
They stab me
...but im'a wait in the rain for you
As long as you're happy
The Sadness Of Other People
when i see the sadness of other people
those that walk without aims and look beyond what they have
at the hold of their hands
something inside me says
all is fair in this world
to each his own now
each man carrying his own burden
his cross
and as i too carry mine, shall they too carry theirs
without asking when will this myth of suffering end?
when will this sadness last?
this misery that looks for company
their load that lightens mine
the feeling that
theirs is heavier somehow tell about the comfort
of this situation
everyday to each his own and in order to have hope
one says
mine is lighter and
i always have the reason
to move on with my life and just be silent

Happy Loving Couples
Ive just been to see my best friend
Hes got another girl
Says shes just about the best thing
In the whole damn world
And he says cant you see what the little ladys done for me
Says it like he thinks Im blind
But the things that you see aint necessarily the things you can find
Happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so kind
Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples aint no friends of mine
People say Im too damn fussy
When it comes to girls
Happy couples say I must live
In a lonely world
Wanna be, wanna really be what my friends pretend to be
Be it in my own good time
Being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind
Happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so kind
Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples aint no friends of mine
You aint no friends of mine
You know what I mean
Happy loving couples
In matching lamb turtle-neck sweaters
Reading ideal homes magazine
Yeah!
Wanna be, wanna really be what my friends pretend to be
Be it in my own good time
Being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind
Happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so kind
Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples aint no friends of mine
You aint no friends of mine
You aint no friends of mine
You aint no friends of mine
You aint no friends of mine
You aint no friends of mine
Right, thats enough
