The Secret Countess
The hammer has fallen
The red has come
The richer are fleeing
The poor they shall become
Petyas teeth cut on gold
But know his sisters hands are bleeding
From harder work than she’s ever known
Scrubbing and polishing
In an English house of old
Gone are the furs
The silks in the snow
The string of pearls
The pretty little bow
The diamond brooches
The carriages at twelve
The long ball dresses
On the marble stone floor
The Grasinky’s jewel sparkle
In a greedy cooks eyes
Lost in a world without trust
All she has is a smile
No now that is lost
So the devil arrives
With her endless demands
A beaut outside
Ugly within
No care of the servants work
With their hands and heart
Perfection is surely just a dream
But her demand it is
For simple is common
Her wedding must be just so
No sweet songs
Or old fashioned dress
No ‘handicapped child’
Shall follow her trail
But there is no love in her eyes
Just unforgiving desire
To be a title
But in amongst her servant ranks
A high class beauty lurks
Her ballet bow
That shivers hearts
Lies surround her
But the truth she always speaks
And dear little Ollie
With her strong little mind
Nothing defeats her
‘Cept the devil in disguise
But pure sweet Grasinky
Gives her a smile
A story
A dog
A diamond within
Closer and closer the wedding draws
And further and further they do split
All he wants is Anna’s hand
Of course it shall never be
Too much of a gentleman is he
Finally the wedding eve ball
But the secrets out
The countess reviled
He begs
One dance they share
The orchestra know
They wish it will last
But it’s all too short
The bells chime
But where is she
Sweet little Ollie
A promise he made
If she is not there
I do -I shall not say
The butler loyal and true
Is there to save the day
Well paid cousins
Locked in the tower
Acting madly
She runs and screams
He laughs and cheers
Anna leaves for home
All is over
The embarrassment too much
She smiles when she arrives
In her maids little flat
Her old cook comes
Laden with her jewels
A chest of money
A bolt of silk
All the others shimmering shining
Back to the rightful owner
Maybe the world is not so trust less
Then a letter arrives
Two more days Anna must work
How very rude her mother cries
But back she must go
She serves a meal
But hiding behind
The carved cabinet
Her one true love
In shy happiness
Her wedding was a smile
All the country quaint
With sweet little Ollie
Marching proudly
A big smile on her face
No single eye in the church was dry
And the secret countess
Was true again.

The Marriage And The Mumbai Rain
Sitting all dressed up & nervous
With a ring for my honey
Few seconds & he’ll be mine
Yes, it’s my wedding ceremony…
He asks for my hand first
& looks at me with a smile
As soon as he holds my hand
A current passes though my spine
My 1st relation comes in my mind
The love which was always mine…
That feeling so new of joy
1st time I felt for a boy
That scratching same name everywhere…
Those poems I wrote for my dear…
Those long walks while holding hands
Those messages were missing
My fear of losing him
& his shaking hands while kissing…
Our 1st fight over bad grades
Then moving apart for days
Then hugging each other forever
& promising to never fight ever…
These flashes in front of my eyes
& gives me a bitter pain
I look outside the church
And see the Mumbai Rain…
I look at the person ahead
I hold my breath for a while
He’s not the one I love
He holds hand in different style…
I turn back to leave
To go on my love’s way
I return his ring with tears
“I’m sorry” is all I could say…
I run in my wedding dress
I run through tears & Mumbai Rain
A new joy grows in my heart
This wipes all the pain…
I reach his house all wet
He’s sitting at a side
My photo in one hand
In other a ‘NOTE OF SUICIDE’
I slap him as hard as I could
Then hug him even harder
“How dare you write this to me?
If u repeat I’ll do your murder”…
He cries & cries in my arms
& hugs me for saving his life
“Though you are wearing a wedding dress,
Will you be my wife? ”…
I cry & cry so hard
This happiness is making me insane
I’m finally marring my true love
In this beautiful Mumbai Rain…..

Vow of a Wedding ring
Is this the way it should be
Endless horizon of distance
With a Love armored by faith
Yet dropped the sword of chance
Confused of how we broke
The oath of Love eternal
And no word has been told
Why Love should lost forever
And now you're there
In the aisle of roses
Walking like an angel
In a wedding dress
With a smile like fist
That pound my chest
As you're hands and hands
With someone else
Hands and hands
Now you're with him
For now you're mine
Just in my dreams
Too afraid of what I feel
For our last would be
Just an inches near
And now all i have
Are tears and sigh
As i watch you walk
Along the aisle
A silent cry is all I can
To let you march
In a Wedding hymn
To let you take the vow
Of a wedding ring

Reason To smile
How can one smile such sweet smiles,
When one is so saddened by sorrows for miles,
How can I smile the same smiles,
When life brings me nothing but tears,
I wondered for so long,
What reason you had to smile that long,
To keep smiling though troubles come,
And still remain sweet and silently overcome,
It's such a mystery to me,
Your smiles from heaven with glee,
I adore and yet envy thee,
But I'd rather you smile those at me,
I feel happy when I see you smile,
Even if I'm sad and lonely,
Your smiles bring me somewhere,
I don't even know where,
But it was you,
You gave me the reason to smile,
To smile with no reason,
To smile for a smile,
I guess life is just like that,
We need not a reason to smile,
For a smile is the reason itself,
To rejoice and open-heartedly give thanks,
I learned to smile because of you,
Because your smiles bring me joy when blue,
It proves how well and powerful,
A simple sweet smile can become so beautiful,
Smile for the sake of a smile,
Smile for the sake of happiness,
Smile for the sake of life,
Smile because of hope left in life,
Smile my friends,
Smile for me my Love,
Smile those same sweet smiles,
Smile so the world can be a peaceful dove...

The Golden Wedding Of Sterling And Sarah Lanier, September 27, 1868.
By the Eldest Grandson.
A rainbow span of fifty years,
Painted upon a cloud of tears,
In blue for hopes and red for fears,
Finds end in a golden hour to-day.
Ah, YOU to our childhood the legend told,
'At the end of the rainbow lies the gold,'
And now in our thrilling hearts we hold
The gold that never will pass away.
Gold crushed from the quartz of a crystal life,
Gold hammered with blows of human strife,
Gold burnt in the love of man and wife,
Till it is pure as the very flame:
Gold that the miser will not have,
Gold that is good beyond the grave,
Gold that the patient and the brave
Amass, neglecting praise and blame.
O golden hour that caps the time
Since, heart to heart like rhyme to rhyme,
You stood and listened to the chime
Of inner bells by spirits rung,
That tinkled many a secret sweet
Concerning how two souls should meet,
And whispered of Time's flying feet
With a most piquant silver tongue.
O golden day, -- a golden crown
For the kingly heads that bowed not down
To win a smile or 'scape a frown,
Except the smile and frown of Heaven!
Dear heads, still dark with raven hair;
Dear hearts, still white in spite of care;
Dear eyes, still black and bright and fair
As any eyes to mortals given!
Old parents of a restless race,
You miss full many a bonny face
That would have smiled a filial grace
Around your Golden Wedding wine.
But God is good and God is great.
His will be done, if soon or late.
Your dead stand happy in yon Gate
And call you blessed while they shine.
So, drop the tear and dry the eyes.
Your rainbow glitters in the skies.
Here's golden wine: young, old, arise:
With cups as full as our souls, we say:
'Two Hearts, that wrought with smiles through tears
This rainbow span of fifty years,
Behold how true, true love appears
True gold for your Golden Wedding day!'

The Power of the Smile
You have a sword, don't you know?
You have a power, don't you believe?
You have a key, don't you sure?
Don't you know, by your smile:
You can be the fire ….
You can be the pen…
You can be the star…
Don't you know, you can be as you wish?
Don't you believe, you can be as you dream?
Don't you think, you can be the leader?
Don't you know:
Sweet smile can make date for two sweet soul…
Pure smile can play love song on some one's heart…
Honest smile can put the fire on your desire…
Optimistic smile can clear all the darkness…
True smile can paint the rainbow on your life…
Strong smile can put shining stars on your sky…

For My Wedding
(larry john mcnally)
For my wedding, I will dress in black
And never again will I look back
Ah, my dark angels we must part
For Ive made a sanctuary of my heart
To want what I have
To take what Im given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day
For my wedding, I dont want violins
Or sentimental songs about thick and thin
I want a moment of silence and a moment of prayer
For the love well need to make it in the world out there
To want what I have
To take what Im given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day
I dream, and my dreams are all glory and light
Thats what Ive wanted for my life
And if it hasnt always been that way
Well, I can dream and I can pray
On my wedding day
So what makes us any different from all the others
Who have tried and failed before us
Maybe nothing, maybe nothing at all
But I pray were the lucky ones; I pray we never fall
To want what we have
To take what were given with grace
For these things I pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day

Ode to my love, my Wife
Renu, my dear wife
My sweet heart, love of my life
I got you how! Wow! My splendid fate
I can’t believe, this fortune so great
Of your father, you were an ardent fan
But finally of your life, I became your man!
It was worth the wait, whatever I had to strive
To impress you and make you my wife!
Renu, my dear wife
My sweet heart, love of my life
‘Of opposites’ we are pair
Me dark and you very fair
You are organized and meticulous
I am disorganized though spontaneous
My poetic instincts you do admire
But my helping hand in the kitchen, is what you aspire!
Renu, my dear wife
My sweet heart, love of my life
As if I am a kid, me with care you look after
You gave me my sweet daughter
Anagha, our purpose of life, our treasure
Filling our life with joy and laughter
As Success, whatever I have achieved,
To Your Presence in my life, they are ascribed
Renu, my dear wife
My sweet heart, love of my life
I don’t know, whether I could become your Hero
But, without you in my life, I am a big Zero!
In all ups and down of life, you’ve supported me!
Sweet heart, on this wedding anniversary
Instead of dress, gold or diamond jewelry
I gift you, filled with all my love, this poetry!
(Wrote this to gift to my wife! Today is our wedding anniversary!)

Not yet named.
Verse1:
A cool nice evening with a rhythmic melody smooching,
in and around the facet of party hall,
mirching with the chirping sound of the half filled glasses,
aroma of the flowers, bouquet, people made the place an orchid,
thither came my angel with the curl glossy hair bubbling in the slender shoulders,
the long brown gown waved the auburn carpet garnishing the marble base
the elegant silk garb was in vogue with chic stones essence,
her charming smile and fascinating eyes made her my beloved.
Verse2:
Yes these are the very same alluring smile and stunning eyes,
which took me to her in the ultimate year of our departure from college.
The feeling of departure brought us together and bloomed the friendship
and made a brawny bond of lovable friendship.
We always use to think about the unspoken words of all the years passed
but still thanks to the convener who made the get together party,
where our friendship sprouted,
where our hearts sprung upon
where we made our real expressions,
Yes once again thanks to them.
Verse3:
As we moved to a long distance far close by,
the inexorable and relentless love flourished with avant-garde technology.
everything and everything we shared with each other,
no smile, no frown, no bliss, no anguish, no hit, no flop… we ever missed
nothing and nothing came between us
no mail, no phone, no message, no natters will ever miss our final phrase ‘luv u ‘.
I know everything about her rather than her family, she too does.
we know all, about each one’s culture, custom, ethnicity and their differences,
all these have now brought us to this wedding eve.
Verse4:
Revelry was finally over and I went to sleep in an euphoric mood.
I traveled through out the short night as if the wedding was over,
as the chill mist caressed my fingers i got relieved from my sweet dreams.
now in the wedding hall, all the muttering came to an end
as my she entered the colossal hall clasping her dad’s hands
as he came nearer to the bishop, he unclutched the hands and left her on the carpet
here starts the wedding ceremony and the bishop finished his piece,
the wedding ring waved her finger as if a cool breeze engrossing around
and now the wedding kiss, first kiss
let the souls blend upon with.
Verse5:
When started to breathe she turned and gave a sweet smile
that was her first emotion shared with me after the wedding,
i was so happy,
my heart felt with an intense elation,
people rambled in and around, to and fro
to have feast, to take photos, to mingle with, to share with …
i saw her eyes filled with joy
and wish her to have the same for the life time,
eventually I gave my whole hearted smile and greeting
To both the bride and the bridegroom.
Verse6:
Now she is something new…
to the world, society, relatives, people around and even to the bridegroom
but still, the very same angel to me
with all her same support,
same courage, same care, same love, same devotion, same concern...
and everything the very same.
Verse7:
I dined with all our classmates shooting the breeze about the incredible college days,
That was literally a great get together, we ever had after leaving the college.
Its time to leave and to proceed with my progressive work, which is on hold,
so i went up to her, she poured the very same smile on me.
I gave her my send-off,
She wished me back,
with all the same love, care, devotion…
And of course with the same phrase ‘luv u’
Yes, some relationships are …

Mother Day (Good Son And Daughter Are True Treasure)
We had a father,
who died much earlier,
leaving young our mother,
as a widow,
with much sorrow.
He also left her a small box of jewels,
which she had to sell,
piece by piece,
for her children's need,
for our sickness to seek,
a doctor for relief,
for our hunger to feed,
with a willing heart indeed,
for our bodies physically to grow,
for our education, she had a seed of knowledge to sow,
finally the jewel box became a hollow.
so for money she had to borrow.
Some handsome men made her heart leap,
but ' never remarry ' a promise to her husband, she keeps,
Missing him made her....hurt so deep,
wiping her tears every night in silent weep..
One day, money was in urgent need,
she could not make both ends meet,
with her heart painfully bleed,
she went to a pawn shop,
because for loving us, nothing could stop,
to borrow money with her wedding ring,
so sorrowful like her heart pierced by a bee sting.
Then she worked in a factory for shitty night shift,
though back-breaking she endured the hardship with a true grit.
But she was happy to see us growing bodily, mentally, spiritually fit,
regarding us the God's gift.
One after another, we went into work force,
earning salaries as a steady source,
for her wedding ring, we saved money to redeem,
so that she could smile with a gleam,
because it was our turn to treat her like a queen,
Now the wedding ring returns and dwells on her finger,
not for a moment but forever,
making her happier and happier,
knowing that her sons and daughters are a true treasure.
For trading her wedding ring with a million, she would say ' no '
because it is her husband's token of soul.
(A tribute to single mothers)
A Smile Is A Complicated Thing
A smile is a complicated thing, I'll tell you why,
Anyone can smile, as anyone should,
Yet still it can mask the deepest cuts, I know it's true,
It can deceive people into thinking one's okay, has it worked? ,
It can hide the tears that have dried upon ones face, can you see them?
A smile can show the world a little bit of light, if even just a glimmer,
It can take dark cracks in one's mind and disguise them, I wear a disguise,
It can put on a show for everyone to see, will you clap for me? ,
Yet a smile can also be true, I've had those too,
Offering nothing but joy and laughter, I remember those,
So before you pass off ones smile take a second to smile back, please smile at me,
Reassure them that they don't waste their smiles, are mine wasted? ,
Never judge a smile or ignore the eyes of the smiling, look in my eyes,
Look for hidden pains behind the mask, can you see? ,
Don't be deceived by the charade, listen to my silent story,
And before you pass by smile back, please smile back,
For your smile could be saying the same, do you know how I feel? ,
Everyone has reason to smile, are you smiling? ,
But a smile is a complicated things, I have told you why,
No one should smile alone, smile with me,
We all smile together for good and for bad, what's your story? ,
You're never alone, I am here,
A smile is a complicated thing, I have told you why.

When You Awake
Ollie told me Im a fool. so i
Walked on down the road a mile, went to the house that brings a smile
Sat upon my grandpas knee, and what do you think he said to me?
(chorus:)
When you awake you will remember evrything, you will be
Hangin on a string from your... when you believe, you will relieve the only
Soul
That you were born with to grow old and never know
Ollie showed me the fork in the road.
You can take to the left or go straight to the right,
Use your days and save your nights,
Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat,
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.
(repeat chorus)
Ollie warned me its a mean old world,
The street dont greet ya, yes, its true;
But what am I supposed to do:
Read the writing on the wall,
I heard itwhen I was very small.
(repeat chorus)
Wash my hand in lye water, I got a date with the
Captains daughter. you can go and tell your brother. we sure gonna
Love one another, oh! you
May be right and ya might be wrong, I aint gonna worry all day long.
Snows gonna come and the frost gonna bite, my old car froze
Up last night. aint no reason to hang your head I could wake up in the
Mornin dead. oh! and
If I thought it would do any good, Id stand on the rock where moses stood.

Piano Strings See
She keeps secrets from you
Knows it’s something they say never to do
But how does she say
How does she break that news
While you’re still feelin’ new
Chorus Split 1:
What do I do when every step I take
Is walking my heart your way
When each note the world
Has to echo
Sounds like the way I love you
She’s got no ring for your finger either
You know how it goes
Maybe she’ll find that wedding dress
They never sent her and she never could pick up
Drop it at your toes
Chorus Split 2:
And the moments in life
Theirs and mine
Feel like the lucky tears of happy days
You bring me
How did we ever get to be
What piano strings see
She is me, she is me, she is me
And I’m just tryin’ to find
The right eyes
To bring this to you with
The right set of notes and time ticks
Chorus
So string me up
And tell me you came back to the girl who left
The bridal shop with the pretty dress
‘cause the country songs
Were tearing you up with the ways you love me
Split 2
I’ve got no ring for your finger either
Maybe I’ll find that wedding dress
Drop it at your toes

Everybody Free
Michael w. smith/ chris rice
I belong to you and you belong to me. your unconditional love overhwelms me.
The longing in my heart has stirred a faded memory
Of my young heart beating fast behind the willow tree
I was counting out loud, and I only peeked a time or two
And the only purpose in my life was finding you
Singing, ollie, ollie, everybody free!
Now was I chasing you or were you chasing me?
We all grow up and put away our childhood games
But deep inside I wonder if we really change
cause Im still seeking, though Ive learned to hide so well
And I can still remember how it felt
Singing, ollie, ollie, everybody free!
Will I ever find someone pursuing me?
And then you caught me by surprise
I found my tears are in your eyes
I hear my heart inside of you
At last Ive found somebody who
Can free my soul
And love me too
I cant believe we hide so long and run so well
When all the while were aching to be caught and held
But its only in surrender that our freedom comes
And so I run abandoned to your waiting arms
Singing ollie, ollie, everybody free!
I belong to you and you belong to me!
...singin ollie, ollie, everybody free

Why don’t you smile?
How can smile such a sweet smiles,
When saddened by sorrow for miles
Smile is a sign of cheer
You are important and also dear
Smile is like a hope
It teaches you to remove the clouds of mope
For nothing but only a smile
Takes away your pain and trial
And pick your troubles in pile
Smile show of trust
Be happy even in hard crust
Smile is a sign of care
It teach you how to share
Smile because it’s healing
It makes people wonder
What you’re thinking.
Smile smugly as you’ve done your work.
forgiving to pardon the jerk.
Smile because you want to
And smile just because you can!
So why don’t you smile
And forget you’re sorrow for a while

Glorias Eyes
I was your big man I was your prince charming
King on a white horse hey now look how far Ive fallen
I tried to trick you yeah but baby you got wise
You cut me cut me right down to size
Now Im just a fool in glorias eyes
Swore Id get you back I was so sure
Id get you back like I done so many times before
A little sweet talk to cover over all of the lies
You came runnin back but to my surprise
Well there was somethin gone in glorias eyes
Well in the dark when it was just me and you
I asked the question that I knew the answer to
Is that a smile my little dolly on the shelf
Tell me is that a smile
Of is it something else?
Now I work hard to prove my love is true
Now I work hard and I bring it on home to you
At night I pray as silently you lie
Some day my love again will rise
Like a shining torch in glorias eyes
I was your big man your prince charming
King on a white horse now look how far Ive fallen

Crying In Your Wedding Dress
The roads always run wet this time of year
Not with rain - with tears
Crying in your wedding dress
Tearing your hair out
The park was always freezing-over around now
Not with winter - with the pain
Of pulling off your ring
Screaming your lungs out
You wore that dress for 16 hours
You wore it too long
You wore it when you arrived
And you wore it when you woke up
I wore my invisible jacket
My invisible trousers
My invisible smile
All day
On our wedding day
The prototype for this event
The blueprint of this heart-ache
Is sketched so deeply in my mind
There was no other way it could be
On our wedding day
I was walking, drunk, stumbling
You were crying in your wedding dress
I was gone, I was never really there
You were crying in your wedding dress
I was broke for any feeling
You were broke for any hope
Crying in your wedding dress
On our wedding day

Dear little Darling
I don't have any kids but someday when i do i would like to say this one for them on there wedding day.
Dear little darling,
My sweet little child
I woke up this morning
With a thought in my head
I love you a lot
My dear sweet child
I love you so much
I made a poem,
Just for you sweet child
I want to see you grow,
I want to see you blossom,
I want to sing you lullabies,
I want to whisper soft words,
You make me smile
You make me laugh
You also make me cry,
I cry because I am happy
Happy to see you,
Happy to see you grow
I am filled with joy to see you every day
I am glad you are my child;
I know this poem doesn’t rhyme,
It doesn’t have to
You are what the poem is about,
I watched you grow,
I watched you blossom,
I sang sweet lullabies,
I whispered soft words,
And now its time for me to say goodbye;
You are my life, my gift from heaven
Although you are grown up
And it’s your wedding day
A day of happiness
A new chapter in your life,
But just remember this
You will always, be my sweet child.
