Mother! You Could Not Have Left Us.

Mother..!
You could not have left us from this world
Though you met with that final knock of death ten years ago,
All the time lamenting ' I have lived my life fully
And seen all its pains and pleasures
In their barest attires and unadulterated attitudes
And I should not be a burden to any of my children
Riding on cursed bed, cooking ever thoughts in hazy visions
On helpless bones and loosened muscles.....! '
I could deeply infer that you could not leave us,
So dear to you with your bonds on us so tight and strong!
Yes I know your heart could not rest content even in heaven
Without casting caring looks on all your posterity-
Yes Mom! I feel your strong presence hovering ever around me
Everywhere I tread on amidst all my trials and tribulations.
Your tight close look scares and disperses clouds of gloom to nowhere.
Yes mom! I am not alone, never alone
But in your invisible company charging me with hope!

I Exist Amidst A Thick Overgrowth Of Luxury

i exist amidst a thick overgrowth of luxury

&

i exist amidst a thick overgrowth of luxury

and a dense undergrowth of affluence-

i can touch, feel and gape in wonder

but i have no rights at all to enjoyment-

yes, i am a slave girl born to toil and clean;

showered in abuses and punishment

with restless bones and sleepless eyes-

my dreams too scare me to death-

and in the palatial houses with hundred doors

i have no gates open for me to breathe my free air-

i could feel the stench of prosperity and gold

suffocating me to death and hell-

o how i wish to cry my heart out to a real dear soul-

god, grant me the penniless life of a poor

to kiss the dust of my distant earth

shouting my joy of a carefree pastoral bliss!

Casually I Raise My Head Into The Skies

casually i raise my head to the skies

&

casually i raise my head to the skies
bereft of thoughts in gloom-
yes, i get my enlightenment
and my disease is dispelled-
there above amidst the white clouds
the orphaned moon flake sobs in sorrow-
a few days ago it was the queen of the night
with silver-plated smile priding amidst the stars-
life is never ever smooth and song-full;
one day beautiful and brilliant and brimming with thoughts
the next day drier more than a desert fuming emptiness-
yes, i am reminded of 'shakespeare's lines
'books in brooks and sermons in stones'!

Sometimes I Feel

Sometimes I feel as if I am falling.
Sometimes I feel as if the world around me never stops spinning
Sometimes I feel like giving up and letting everything go
Sometimes I feel like a puppet in a show
Sometimes I feel like I should just scream
Sometimes I feel like life is nothing but a dream
Sometimes I feel as if I’m only fake
Sometimes I feel like even when I sleep I’m still awake

The dream the seems to hold me ever so tight
Being in the ever so warm sunlight
All the many things I seem to see
Can this be it, can this be the real me?
The darkness seems to fade away
I’m left shocked with nothing to say

Sometimes I feel as if I will never understand
Sometimes I feel as someone is holding my hand
Sometimes I feel completely crazy
Sometimes I feel ever so lazy
Sometimes I feel as if I lost it all
Sometimes I feel like they let me fall
Sometimes I feel as if I did so wrong
Sometimes I feel ever so strong

I know now that people really do care
I also know life isn’t always fair
There will always be so memories in my heart
Even if some seem to rip it apart
Love doesn’t always have to lead to hate
I know that I can make things better its not to late

Sometime I feel like I should just hide
Sometimes I feel to afraid to take a step outside
Sometimes I feel like just getting up to sing
Sometimes I feel like I can do anything
Sometimes I feel as all anyone can do is lie
Sometimes I feel ever so shy
Sometimes I feel happy and sad
Sometimes I feel ever so mad

I love playing in the rain
I can be strong but yet In a lot of pain
I’m not perfect nor do I want to be
I am content just being me

On Mother's Second Death Anniversary

Two years have passed away
Since you left us mother dear;
We can't forget that fateful day
Before which you were so near!

We know we lost a priceless gem
Whose value we didn't know then;
Our mum was fit for a diadem;
We're sure, she must be in heaven!

What love she gave us all children!
How well she reared us everyone!
She showed us each ‘road to heaven';
Her earthly duty was well done!

We miss you mother very much;
You were a role-model to us;
Your cooking had a magic touch;
You brought us up in happiness!

The world without you is empty;
A wise lady has left us all;
Your life on earth was so pretty,
Until you heard God's divine call!

Oh, how we wish we meet again -
A soul that radiated love;
Oh, how you talked to all so sane,
And yet, kept yourself like a dove!

O mother dear, we will all meet
Some day in heaven very soon;
With joy, we will forever greet
And with dad see the sun and moon!

Fondly dedicated to our most loving mom,
Mrs. Stella Thangamarie Antoniswami
On her II death anniversary 27-04-2012
‘May God grant her a place in heaven soon! '

Death Of Love

When my arm is cold and numbed
And then laid to its final rest
I wander what thought that it could have
If only to God and man it could confess.

When my eyes close for their very last time
What would be the last sight for them to see,
Would it be a sight, that gave a delight
To be cherished by my soul through me.

When my fingers loose their sense of touch
What touch would be missed most of all
Would it be the roses in the summertime
Or the many leaves, that I touched in the fall.

When my lips quiver their last time to close
What would be the last thought of it to miss
Would it be to say a prayer or maybe speak a thought
Or would it be, to give my one last kiss.

When it is my time to to leave this world
I know from this world I must leave alone
But I need to feel love, as I say goodbye to life
As never again will my soul or thoughts roam.

Before my arm goes it needs one last hug
Then it will go with a pain and a delight
And before my eyes close shut as surely as they will
They must see heaven in sight, that night.
Before my fingers loose their since of touch
A woman's hair or a rose I need to brush
They must feel the softness that they once had known
Then happily they will leave with just a hush.
My heart would beat one last time for you
And for my lips, what would be their final wish
Would it to say a prayer or a poem to recite,
Or it would be a last goodbye kiss.

When my body is gone and it is buried deep
And my soul is heading to heaven above
No one might worry about me leaving this world
But when I gone, there will be the death of love..

Oh Dear Children

Oh dear children of this world
Time is drawing near
When you will look around and see
Things are not as they appear.

The men in suits that wear red ties
Have no thoughts for you.
They plot and plan your future years
And what is it you can do?

You're busy with your childhood games
That will leave you much too fast.
But the powerful ones have plans for you
And so your die's been cast.

Oh dear children of the world
Let your days go slow.
For looming not so far from you
will come life's crushing blow.

And those that birthed you sadly cry
But are helpless as they pray
"Oh dear God protect them please.
Let them find a way
to escape a world gone mad.

Money Tight

Maurice white, allee willis & d. sembello
Im always dreamin bout my baby
Rent is due, Im slipping on the job
No time to think about survival
Push for the cash aint in my heart
cause theres nothing more that
Im living for
Than you baby, oh my baby
In this crazy world there is just one girl
Its you baby, oh my baby
(chorus)
Money tight dont feel right
Richest man has no fight alone
Material things dont matter
If your heart dont get that patter in your bones
Money tight with me
You loves all I need
Aint got no time for superstition
Cant roll the dice and win your heart
When its love its strictly business
Once you cheat it only falls apart
And I live each day knowing love will pay
With you baby, oh my baby
Though my porckets bare, you are always there
For me baby, oh my baby
(chorus)
Money tight dont feel right
Richest man has no fight alone
Material things dont matter
If your heart dont get that patter in your bones
Money tight with me
You loves all I need
(bridge)
Money, money tight for me.
Money, money tight for me.
(vamp)
Money tight dont feel right
The richest man has no fight all alone
Material things dont matter
If your heart dont get that patter in your bones
Money tight with me
Your loves all I need

Breathless

All these posers keep you awake
I guess Im just too tired to sleep
And God only knows Im too lost to cry
Kissing last has kept me true
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill leave (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill leave (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
He hates so much its love he says
Inside his dark I need to smile
He shouts so loud I never hear
Thats why the truths always abused
As I slip into unconsciousness
I never felt so much to blame
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill leave (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill leave (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
As I slip into unconsciousness
I never felt so much to blame
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill leave (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill leave (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill leave (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
Ill fall (hold me tight)
But Ill leave (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
Ill fall (another day another night)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely
Ill fall (another day another night)
So hold me tight
Cause Im so lonely

Still Be Yours

still in your home
longing for your scent
when all hopes are fading
it remains unchanged

run and run
rain close your eyes
gone and gone
and still going strong

still in the same room
rest in sepia memories
never regret the time
and never turn away

I will hold you tight
not if you don't want to
don't afraid to burden me
I'm more than you thought

I will listen to
everything you want to
keep your smile bright
oh, just tell me how

still will be yours
no, nothing change my mind
I don't ask anymore
no, I won't leave you alone

please, please
promise to believe
sleep, sleep
layered with sweet dream

When My Heart Deeply Pines For You..

when my heart deeply pines for you

o my dear, why all the birds

that chirp and coo and in graceful flights

seem to carry a message from you

but cruelly not dropp it onto my longing heart?

Her wrinkle face

She was the only one in family
Elderly person with clear vision and noble quality
We all addressed her as “granny” with respect
She would never scold us for naughty acts

She will hide and keep for us as something
Even though we have plenty in house but it is special thing
She may come to us slowly with tremendous love
We will rush to her for chocolates that she may give

“Papa, don’t allow nine nine (grandma) to go away” we will insist
Let her remain with us and we shall make her walk on the way
Take her for morning stroll and evening walk
In this way she will feel happier and talk

The children have special liking for old persons
They are always kind and show enormous love with reasons
She has whole of garden before her in the form of lovely children
That makes her fully contended and miss no loneliness even

She may be almost ninety or more
Yet so much energy and will power is in store
Always praying most of the time with good faith
Not at all worrying about the approaching death

I learnt great deal her with practical lessons
She had troubled life in early stage and lived as helpless person
Then also she did not loose hope and kept us in her strong fold
We were her live hope and dear ones in the entire world

I won’t forget her when she will be gone
Though nothing more is left to be done
Her contribution and presence is like beacon to us
We pray almighty for her log life with full trust

Parents are after all one step ahead and plan for future
Not only for them selves but small kids and all for sure
They do not tire out easily as we do in our young age
As it is thrust upon them to rear us and ably manage

I salute her not because of her age or elderly person
But the way she has survived to see grandsons
May be second generation before her eyes to witness
Watch if you can minutely the beautiful shine on her wrinkled face

In Death Even Death We Slay

In life we must always boldly face
all obstacles, all storms, come what may?
Life can be so dark so utterly grim
but upon, your chosen course, be sure to stay.

Inclement weather may hound us
it is true, in an earlier, troublesome younger day.
But if we can survive the storms the trials
continue, to struggle on, a better tomorrow is our pay.

Death does step in causing sorrow
casting hope down, at times, I know this you will say.
But hope’s buoyant elastic renewal
unconquered; with golden wings, is strong enough to carry despair away.

Stand strong with courage bear all well
sunny hours of delight, and joy, are surely on their heavenly way.
Death sometimes seems to win but conquered
manfully fearlessly; gloriously victoriously, in death even death we slay.

The Invisible Man

Im the invisible man,
Im the invisible man,
Incredible how you can,
See right through me,
When you hear a sound,
That you just cant place
Feel somethin move
That you just cant trace,
When something sits
On the end of your bed
Dont turn around
When you hear me tread.
Im the invisible man,
Im the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
Im the invisible man
Im the invisible man
Its criminal how I can
See right through you.
Now Im in your room
And Im in your bed
And Im in your life
And Im in your head
Like the cia
Or the fbi
Youll never get close
Never take me alive
Im the invisible man
Im the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
Im the invisible man
Im the invisible man
Its criminal how I can
See right through you,
Hah, hah, hah, hello,
Hah, hah, hah, hello,
Hah, hah, hah, hello-hello-hello-hello,
Never had a real good friend - not a boy or a girl
No-one knows what Ive been through - let my flag unfurl
So make my mark from the edge of the world,
From the edge of the world,
From the edge of the world,
Now Im on your track
And Im in your mind,
And Im on your back
But dont look behind
Im your meanest thought
Im your darkest fear
Put Ill never get caught
You cant shake me, shake me dear,
Im the invisible man,
Im the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
Im the invisible man
Im the invisible man
Its criminal how I can
See right through you
Look at me, look at me

Strong Black Woman

Baby, such a long life, my child
So many stories I have to tell you
Of slavery and of tragedy
Sit down and listen to my tales

Everybody thinks that the strong black woman died
No, she only stood back because she had not cried
She took a minute to rest. She cried. Her heart so heavy
But she’s back, baby. And child, she’s so pretty

I’m a strong black woman, and I am fighting
Don’t mess with me; I’ll leave your eyes shining
I give these children all the love they crave
I’ll beat away any energy that makes life grave

Hallelujah, the strong black woman still lives
Hallelujah, the strong black woman still gives
Hallelujah, can you feel the strength of her?
Hallelujah, this woman is one you can’t deter

Praise the lord’s name and speak in tongues
May all the strong black women live so long
I am a strong black woman, I am here
A strong black woman lives in my heart

Hallelujah, the black woman is so strong
Hallelujah, this has become my favorite song
Hallelujah, the strong black woman prospers
Hallelujah, she is no different than her brothers

The strong black woman never died, she lives
See, no matter what happens she always survives
I am here, I am a strong black woman, in disguise
And this newly strong black woman never dies

Praise the lord’s name the black woman is back
Now the world knows that we survive any attack
Give her all the suffering children or people in despair
Because the strong black woman will return them to air

The strong black woman was not lynched or killed
She gave herself a proud face and lived on so skilled
Praise the lord’s name and know that she lives on
Hallelujah, the strong black woman will never be gone

This Is My Heart

Chorus:
Loving and kissing and holding you tight
Letting you know everything is all right
Do you love me
This is my heart
Loving and kissing and holding you tight
Letting you know everything is all right
Do you love me
Do you love me
We belong together
The love I feel is strong
And I wouldnt take the world for exchange for this feeling I have inside of me
And I cant loose this
Love that I have in my heart and baby
I know that you will never leave
This is my heart
Chorus
Our love keeps us together
Whenever were apart
Our bond holds us close
We live in each others hearts
And so Ill always feel whole
Somewhere I know Ill find someone
With some love to give
To one whose heart is fragile
But Im willing to take a chance
This is my heart
Chorus
Mikes monolauge:
My arms are open wide
You cant imagine how I feel inside
Welcome to this land, baby
Because Im here to give my heart to you

I know youre leavin me behind
Im seein you darlin for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now Im feelin mine
Ive tried my best to be strong, but Im not able
Im like a helpless child left in a cradle
Before you leave me behind let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
Im losin you and my happiness
My life is so dark I must confess
Ill never, never see your smiling face no more
Ill never, never hear your knock upon my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while

I Told You So

Do you mind if I call you lover tonight
I know you said we had to cool down
Until you made up your mind
Could it be so bad if your friends know
You let me in through your back door
I knew it would be like this
I told you so

Did you know that I saw you walking downtown
I knew it was you because your eyes never left the ground
Did you know that I can't sleep
I can't think baby I can't eat
I knew it would be like this
I told you so

I can feel it getting under your skin
No use fighting baby let me in
I can feel it coming on
It's getting kinda strong
And there's nowhere to run
I told you so
And it'll never feel right
In the middle of the night
Unless I'm holding you tight
I told you so

You can't stop this world from spinning around
You can't stop what goes up from coming back down
You can't stop burning in the fire
Now you can't stop our lethal desire
It's the truth
I told you so
So come on baby come on
It goes so easy
And nights are getting so cold
It's starting to freeze me
I can tell by the sound of your voice
You're getting pretty close to making your choice
I knew it would be like this
I told you so

I feel it getting under your skin
No use fighting honey let me in
Can't you feel it coming on?
It's getting kinda strong
And there's nowhere to run
I told you so
Oh it will never feel right
In the middle of the night
Unless I'm holding you tight
I told you so

I know you feel like you've taken your two hands
And you've torn out your heart
But I said it would be just like this babe
Right from the start
Ohh

Do you mind if I call you lover tonight
I know you said we had to cool down
Until you made up your mind
Oh don't you feel it coming on?
Oh it's getting kinda strong
And there's nowhere to run
I told you so
Oh babe and it'll never feel right
In the middle of the night
Unless I'm holding you tight
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so

Untitled!

Not good enough, not pretty enough and not smart enough to hold you close to me. Thoughts of insecurity leave me speechless because every time i speak i feel questioned for my choices from unfamiliar faces. I look down on myself as others step all over me. My face is strong, my body is weak. Last laughs gone with pride. Self-conscience and hopeless. I stand here waiting for someone to show me the right path. Like and exorcist, you used to take the negatice aspects of life away but now you cause them. So much feeling for one being but nothing in return. Helpless, I run to the one who caused it. The irony is painful but i endure it for i love your company.

Smile Power

A smile can be loose
A smile can be tight lipped

It can be acidic
Or be in honey dripped

A smile can be heart rending
If tendered in sad farewell

And also be heart mending
Quite curative as well

A smile when one is needed
Can be the lift one needs in life

Can be so slight as to go unheeded
Can be the salve to soothe one’s strife

A smile given in greeting
Can melt the iciest kind of soul

Given broadly or in fleeting
Given partially or in whole

A smile can be easy to conjure
Can be false in all it’s construction

Inappropriately timed can injure
And can cause much grief and destruction

It takes twice the amount of muscles
For the face to form a frown

Yet only half as many muscles
To turn that frown upside down

It’s not given the respect, that it’s due
It’s not always used in the best way

yet is also the best expression one can use
To make the best impression…throughout each day

One final thought
before this piece is past…is

That people who are too tight with a smile
Are usually drear and tight-assed!

O This Pain Is Unbearable!

one who is ever close to heart
and opens out baring all in total faith
has suddenly closed it tight
and gone lipless with far-away looks-
o how killing it is for both souls!
heart seems to outburst in concern
every nerve straining to send
unbearable ' rush-back-to-me ' messages
all moments souls interchanged
o what a wreckage we have become!
o heavenly angel, descend on us at once
take us in each of your hand
hold us both in the bosom of your heart-
o the pain is unbearable!
