Age
Are you in your sixties?
Common don't be rigid
Don't make age make you livid
Age can be flawless and lawless
Age is just a number
In any particular order
We may count our experiences
But they will not always match up
Age is a blast
For some memories hold fast
For others memories fade fast
And there is never an age that will last
Are you in your forties?
Common don't be frigid
The numbers come and go with a rapid pace
Slowly we must accept to grow old with grace
Age is just a digit
In youth, age we inherit
With old age one needs a permit
And both lives are usually of high merit
Are you in your teens?
How splendid!
That life moves rapid
Life could easily become valid or invalid
Age is an abstract
You can minus, add or subtract
But our ups and downs don't always add up
Age can take you to the top or make you complete flop
Age is just a figure
That in every passing moment we must endure
It is symbol of life!
That bites into the veins of society like a knife
Ignore all, ignore all
For age smiles upon us a simple joke
Sleeping on our skins as it pokes and pokes
Age is just a disguise and a harmless quote

Common, Love is on
I wrote this poem long before I met you
Because I knew one day I will meet you
You are my perfect one
You are my brightest sun
Common, Common, Love is on
We can give each other joy and fun
I wrote you into my life
As my one-and-only beautiful one
And while the young night strives on
I urge this strong feeling to survive for long
I would like to dance with you
And enhance my steps of romance with you
Common, Common, Love is on
Grab this feeling and let’s run
Let’s catch the morning sun
Let’s sing out a love song turn by turn
And if love is a definite con
Then this tender moment has just been infinitely born

Little words like Sorry
Little words make me cry
Common go ahead and try
Little words tell no lie
Like the simple word when I say goodbye
Little words tend to tease
Little words tend to appease
And when one says the word please
Life and love is given a new lease
Little words like sorry, don’t worry
Blossom slowly in little glories
And the moral of this story
Is that ‘sorry’ is often said in a hurry

A Poem in Maths
Count your blessings, God-given;
Add them one by one, each day;
Subtract your pessimism;
Divide time for all your works;
Multiply your joys in life;
Get success in earthly stay,
By praying to the Lord.
Numbers are infinitesimal;
Numbers are so magical;
Numbers can have decimal;
Numbers rule the modern world.
Numbers are abstract / real;
Numbers can amuse us all;
Numbers are the ‘bricks’ of Maths!
Numberless, world is dismal.
They can count your hair, these days;
They can count the stars, some ways;
Man’s progression in Maths is base,
For putting man on Moon, or Mars?
Numbers make computers work;
Hypotheses form the science;
Integers are wonders too;
A genius in mathematics
Is a MATHEMAGICIAN!

I hold onto life!
I hold onto life
Waiting for a better tomorrow
I hold on to life
Despites its constant sorrows
I hold onto life
For I know I am free to go
Once to it, I return what I borrow
Life is nice when it flows
Life is priceless in life itself
In its hardship I strive
Enjoying the pleasurables
For in life, hope is always near and fresh
For dust to dust is the human flesh
Life never gives more or less
The meaning itself is forever pointless
But I still hold onto life like you!

Sonnet: Ignore The worldly Man
Ignore the man who goes after the money;
Ignore the man who is after power;
The former looses soon life’s harmony;
The latter turns akin an earth-mover!
Ignore the man who goes after sheer name;
Ignore the man who is after status;
The former ends up in ultimate shame;
The latter suffers the common-man’s curse.
Ignore the man whose heart has selfishness;
Ignore the man with sadistic display;
The former will soon show his uselessness;
The latter cannot go long in this way.
Ignore the man who loves not his neighbor;
God will not love him despite all labor!

My First Crush
My First Crush
Her smile
Alone captivated me as a prisoner
In an island
Isolated by my inner walls
Her words echoed
And made me quiver
With a rapid velocity of joy
The innocence of my first crush
A feeling of completeness
We spend our lives
Searching for
A sigh of contention
Moments to look forward to
Thinking of ways to make her laugh
My Uranus
My Shining star
My very first crush

When Someone Comes Into Your Life
When someone comes into your life
Take a chance, my love
Forget all the pain thats inside
Open up your heart
Youll forget as shes touching
Your face that I once held you
In my embrace
It might even feel right when you
Kiss her goodnight and not me
If someone should hold down her hand
Make her yours, my love
Dont know how long it may last,
Oh, how fast love goes
Youll forget me one day, dont you know
But your memories Ill never let go
I will love you the same as I did that
First day I found you
When someone comes into your life
Never close the door
What youre looking for
Might be in your arms at last
Dont run away
When someone comes into your life
Hold fast
When someone looks into your eyes
Dont refuse their love
You cant live the rest of your life
With a broken heart
Youll forget me one day, dont you know
But your memories Ill never let go
And when love comes to stay
I hope she loves you the way
I love you
When someone comes into your life
Never close the door
What youre looking for
Might be in your arms at last
Dont run away
When someone comes into your life
If someone comes into your life
When someone comes into your life
Hold fast, hold fast

The blind man and his dog
Excuse me, excuse me
Make way, he heard a voice say
The blind man and his dog
walked along his way
His one and only companion
for friends he had none
The blind man spoke
When I think about life
I like to slice it with a knife
We hold on to it tight
for this thing called life, right!
We battle and fight
for this thing called life, right!
behold I'm a man without sight
deprived of the colour of daylight
I have no anger, I have no right
As I live free of fright
Treasuring the fact I'm alive
I have no vision of black or white
Do not stress over my plight
I am the blind man with his dog
At night I sleep like a log
The earth is my rug
The air is my drug
with or without the nightly fog
I have a vision of beauty
of love and thruth
I have perfect immunity
of material wealth
I have appreciation
of good health
I am the blind man with his dog
I am thankful of all simple things
What joy they do bring!

Make love to me slowly
Make love to me slowly
Kiss me by the neck slowly
touch me tenderly
not coldy
Grind your body next to mine
Let our union be divine
Make love to me slowly
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear
Tell me that you care
While you play with my hair
Explore my body
with your hands and study
Pleasure me
Open your eyes so you can see me
When I smile
My teeth dancing in a tile
Kiss me, Kiss me
Kiss me, Kiss me
Make love to me slowly
When you have been riding a horse
It expects you to stop
Make love to me slowly
My body is a temple
It is holy

Sonnet-one believes just himself
Each wants experiences, very own;
Each wants to do the things, he wants, his way;
Each wants to ignore his mistakes or moan,
For blunders made in life for fire-play.
Each wants to experiment in own ways;
Each wants to infer, interpret himself;
Each wants to ignore cost or taken days,
On road to success, failures, lucre, pelf.
Each wants to take decisions tho' faulty;
Each wants to advise others but not take;
Each wants to bathe in waters too salty;
And wants a fortune easy, to fast make.
Each wants to believe just himself always;
Not learning from others' wisdom, he stays.

Smile little man
Smile little man, smile!
Show me some love
Radiate some care
Lighten up the atmosphere
Scare us not with a retarded fearful face
A smile goes a lenghty way at a steady pace
Everytime I see you, I see your frown
Your thoughts are glaring at me as if I am a vicious enemy
Demanding of you to surrender to my battalion army
Why not change your facial expressions for once
If you deem yourself not worty of silver, at least aim for bronze
Common smile little man
Show me some white teeth
Give me some love
Acknowledge I'm here
Why hath thou so miserable, day by day
A smile will make a difference to your face
Your smile will make you attractive in every place
A smile will make us listen sympathetically to your case
Drive not away the innocent ones
Allow not your frown to spoil our fun
Smile little man, smile
Smile, once, then smile twice
Smile for the ladies, smile for you
Smile for me, smile for everyone
Smile for the old ladies crossing the street
Smile little man, smile
Common give some real love for once
If you deem yourself not worty of silver, at least aim for bronze

Vanishing Dreams
Hold on tight
Shed some light
Wet your apetite
Do not let them slip away
Or they start to lose their colour
day by day, year by year
Right into thin air
There you stand
You seem to have forgotten
Once when you were a little boy
Building castles of dreams with joy
There you now stand
You front, inspired by fustration
Surrounded by countless restrictions
Vanishing Dreams
Fading away quietly into empty streams
It is easy to give in without a bother
Lose your freedom in a common fashioned order
While your dreams vanish one after the other
Our sons and daughters
are still cradling them
Nurturing their stems
On their own conditions and terms
So hold on tight
Wet your apetite
Make your dreams come true
While there is still light

Wherever You Are
Wherever you are in this moment, that is your place
You have to learn some lesson, learn it with grace.
When you learned it, you will not be there anymore,
Don't oppose, just go along, face it, but don't ignore.
If you gripe, oppose, get angry or start drinking,
Neither will help you to get through sooner in your living.
Get wisdom, find understanding, then you will know what to do,
Until then go on in peace and know it shall pass too.
Everything is passing and tomorrow it shall fade,
Only your memory can hold it for more then a decade.
However, if you let it go, give it into God's hand,
You will never have heart attack, alzhimers or cancer,
You will always surely stand.
We cannot control others, what we see, it is in us,
We can control only ourselves to ignore whatever it was.
If we stop dwelling and doing what we see out there,
Our life will clear up from that, we'll became sincere.
The best is to dwell on beauty and harmony,
Ignore the messages from the world, they are phoney.
Accept the truth, which is peace and kindness,
Eventually your world around will show that goodness.

Lets Make Every Moment Count
(tom snow/gerry goffin)
The bittersweet sadness of time passing by
Trying to hold back the years
You try to reach out and touch yesterday
But yesterday just disappears
Weve shared a lot of sadness
Weve shared a lot of pain
Lets make good use of the time that remains
Lets make every moment count
Lets taste the richness of life to its fullest amount
Between me and you and all weve been through
There are no problems that we cant surmount
Lets make every moment count
Lets make every moment count
I still remember the day we first meet
We both didnt have a care
The years have flown, but weve both grown
Were none of the worse for the wear
Were only just beggining
Im still your lover and your friend
And its never too late to dream again
You say weve seen the best of all our memories
But if your heart and soul are in it
Well make a new one every minute

Sorry
Sorry
Sorry is for the weak
Whose stories never stick
When trying hard to make you look like a freak
And leaving you with wet wounds to lick
Sorry is for those
Who are always in a hurry?
They say “I will make amends don’t worry”
The never stop once to think once about the consequences of their actions
For a minute, a second or even a fraction
Sorry is like a mild tide
That sets out 20 feet high
You look at it from a far
And say
Oh my Oh why me why me just why
Sorry
Is for those who don’t care
They will always get away with it I fear
They never stick to a plan
Trying out all their options from a can
Choosing which ever one suits them the most
Sorry
It’s like the minute that is just about to pass
Trying so hard to make it last before it is past
Into an impeccable continuity
Expecting from it some sort of loyalty
But it ignores you audaciously
As it moves on so fast
Sorry is for you
It makes you feel better about yourself
Like a polished glass in its shelf
It makes you look like you care
It disguises your selfish ways
It is the last excuse
That is expected to amuse
As well as to abuse

People of today
Today in general
People are refined animals
People are redefined cannibals
Masses of bodies’ fat and flesh
Classes of individual thoughts, yet meshed
People, People of today
Most of them easily led astray
Today to be precise
The world is full of people
Some of which are nice or wise
There are those who are common
A lot easier to summon
Then followed by the enlightened
Wearing faces that are brightened
Some are with an awesome mind
Others are of a loathsome kind
People of today
The old with wrinkles
The young with dimples
They can be playful
They can helpful
They can be harmful
They can be spiteful
They can be lustful
There can be trustful
And they can be useful
People of today
In reality are full of vanity, I say it again
They complain even when there is no pain
Their common values are all the same
Money, fame and love is the name of the game
They exist only as on-key friends
When there is real money to spend
But people are people
Whether complicated or simple
Everyone regardless of attribute
Plays a role in life and contributes
Every person I look upon with an avid salute!

Graduation
In couple months I will graduate from high school
I'm so excited and anixety
First, I have to get through this couple months and
Do everything I need to do
We are leaving behind good and bad memories
Is another chapter in your life
Time to start new one in college or whereever you go
Years in school fly so fast
This is our moment to show people we love that we can do it
You have plan to go to college or whatever you have in mind
Time to get our freedom and be away from home
Time to live our life way we want
We are going our separate path, but
We still can get in contact with each other
No matter where we are in the world
This is greatest moment of our life
We are going tear, laugh, smile, and be proud what we done
Graduation
Is once in life time
High school don't last forever
This is what we been dreaming
All our life and we make it through
With our ups and downs, bad and good times
I never picture myself that I would be here
In front of whole school and get my diploma in my hand
This is all worth it
I never gave up or had any doubt
Thank you to all my friends who was like my brothers and sisters
They have been there for me, fun to hang out, talktative, and funny
Thank you to my family who is supportive, caring, and love me
Thank you to all my teachers who never give up on me and help me through
I have confident, hope, and believe in myself
That I will make it through and look where I am

In Earthly Life…
Just take the good in every man;
Ignore the bad things if you can;
The Lord decides each one’s life-span;
Our good / bad are weighed by His pan!
Each birthday tells we’re much older;
With passing years, some get bolder;
God looks into each one’s folder;
One’s heart should never get colder!
We are what we are by God’s grace;
We must not don a mask for face;
No one escapes Almighty’s gaze;
Our bad records we must efface!
The short-cut route is sometimes fast;
It will not however long last;
The present soon becomes the past;
Man’s misdeeds make him an outcast!

Life is....
Life is precious
While one is concious
Life is fabulous
And joyous for the righteous
Life is monstrous
Inflicting sad moments while callous
Life makes us anxious
That feeling of life is always infectious
Life is beautiful
When adventurous and dareful
Life is a challenge with a purposeful goal
For others life is about revenge and control
Life is a lesson for all persons
Life is the reason for life
As we exist season by season
The complexity of life is awesome
An illusion of reality so gruesome
