See, I may write a thousand rhymesWith my lyrical tranquil art,And weave thy name on threads of timeTo melt thine ardent heart. To please thy tender heart, my dear,I may sing a thousand songs,That soothe for aye each trembling tearAnd heal the antique wrongs. But neither the lines nor melodic graceOf saccharine songs in tune,Can…
I Love Thee Not
I love thee not but only whenin morning time the daisies sway,and blackbirds trill and do conveythat dusk turns dawn to strive again;like fragile boats that go astrayin wild and roaring boundless seas,bit by bit all unknowinglyto sense thy touch my nerves decay. I love thee not but all noontidewhen hopelessly sunshine I chase,and go…
Withered Leaf
When withered leaf departs from tree and sings in tune her plaintive songs,and transient souls retire and flee forsaking all their earthly wrongs;when sparkling stars from azure sky embrace the earth in their deep sleep,and gentle streams go still and dry to bid farewell to oceans deep!I see the Earth,…

There’s Nothing I Can’t Today
It’s true my days are dreary nightsAnd the ways are full of thorns,I have to go through silent fightsIn each silvery morn. I have to deal with unnoticed tearsAnd sheer hatred and taunts,And weird feelings of baffling SphereDon’t go the way I want. And vague mirages of eerie pastLike wraiths so foul and vile,Ruin my…
Farewell
With lasting memories, tears and woeswrapped in a dream and sealed with a rose,and with a dolorous heart away from scenthow shall I ever forget to lament? How shall I forget with poignant eyesthose beguiling days, the days that cry?And like a pitiless stone not weave my rhymemy desolate art that dreads not time! And…
If I Were A Hero (ABC Poem)
Above huge hills if ever I could rise,Beyond the gravity as Iron Man flies.Climbing and hanging if towers I could touch,Dashing as the Spider-Man, if fingers were such.Ever I would be happy and ever I would dance,Falling and rising in heroic romance. Grasping high hills if ever I could rise,Huge, tough and rigid, if Hulk…
A Song of Life
How darkly fair this fleeting life with many a puzzling bend,by facing terrors of countless strife we voyage towards its end. We know not where the tough road goes and what future does wait,but moving ahead amidst all woes is the concealed voice of fate. And hearts that seem like a…

A Letter from the Sky
If somehow all your plaintive pleasdon’t reach my ears tomorrow,if all sweet dreams you dreamt of metake shape of grief and sorrow. If somehow all get a crush on youand they get on their knees,and you find all pleasures, false or truebut get no more of me. I pray you won’t weep with hollow eyesor…
Do You Want?
IDo you want to meet a dauntless manwho has powers to change this Sphere,whose untold might and glimpses canshake each trembling fear? Whose sword amidst the twilight flareswhom sorrows can’t overwhelm,whom nothing can stop, nay curse nor prayersto beat and win his realm. Who rules over each harrowing nightwith a heart of sacred gold,and triumph…
Lines of Hope
The brook that can’t find way in sandsof barren lands with haunted souls,never does lose her hope but bendsto make her route through silver goals. The sun who hides his rays in cloudsin gruesome charm with dusty fumes,never does swathe himself in shroudsbut shines again to gild his rooms. The birds that can’t make way…
