Here feeling so down

2012-02-16T20:17:00.000-08:00

Here feeling so down
Knowing you won't be around
In the rain all alone
Facing the world on my own
I pushed you away
But I wanted you to stay
Now I'm here all by myself
Because now you're with someone else.
A girl here with a broken heart
Been crying since the day we part
Boy, I didn't want you to go
I just want you to know
When we kissed I still feel it on my lips
I still hear you in my dreams saying you love me
I still feel your hands entwined with mine
I miss when we were together everything was fine.

I look at our picture and cry myself to sleep
My tears so sad they also weep
I still listen to our song
Reminds me of the times we were strong
My heart feels so sad and blue
I hate myself for losing you.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

2012-01-28T08:38:00.001-08:00

The free bird leaps
on the back of the win
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hillfor the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered...

2011-08-28T08:33:00.001-07:00

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered...
forgive them anyway!
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives...
be kind anyway!
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and make some true enemies...succeed anyway!
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you...
be honest anyway!
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight...
go ahead and build it anyway!
If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous...
be happy anyway!
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow...
do good anyway!
Give the world the best you have, and even that may never be enough...
give it anyway!

You see in the final analysis, its always between you and God,
it was never between you and them anyway!!

No Promise and Just Another Honky

2011-06-23T21:14:00.000-07:00

Just Another Honky by Faces
I close my eyes and ignore all the signs ...ll around your hair it's blowing ...Just leave it be and it will all blow away ...Leave my hand, it's wide open ...It hurts me more to think I'll ...f you were to leave me ...Leave my hand it's wide open

When Hope is Lost...

2011-02-07T12:38:00.000-08:00

Hope is almost always,
A companion of a good heart.
A heart that pours in seamlessly,
And where reasoning is set free.

That seems to know the equation
Between action and reaction.
Brimmed with patience, where
You still believe that truth always wins.

Who says hopelessness is hopeless!
Nevertheless...
Hopelessness is hopefulness in disguise...
Hopefulness for the unexpected,
Readiness to accept all that comes one's way,
Expecting to take over the worst.

The best part about hopelessness is
When it comes...
There are no strings attached,
It comes splashing in the face.

TO remind you about the practical
Difference, between truth and reality.

Teaching you a lesson
That you got to keep learning
Each step, every moment.

Dreams would be "simply" imaginations,
As most of them always are!
That aspirations, emotions
And the "very" hope
That are ALL invisible entities,
Cannot choose to have visible repercussions.

And that brains would create
Far more ripples and always win
Over heart and soul...

When hope is lost
Everything is lost
So, then there is nothing precious
To lose thereafter...

Rendering an empty heart,
With no fluttering.
And a soulless soul,
With no life.

Waiting...
Just for the sequence of destined events.
To re-occur time and again...
With no hope or perhaps a 'new' hope!

COULD THIS BE LOVE?

2011-01-15T08:55:00.000-08:00

Silent songs through the night.

Musical rhythm that echoes your mind.
Beauty and kindness at your sight
Could this be LOVE?

Different emotions clogged your heart.
Only thy face runs through your mind.
Awaiting for her lovely voice.
Could this be LOVE?

Moments like time flies,
Heartfelt tickles your senses.
Taken by the arrow of Eros

I wonder how this could be Love.
For mere feelings
like thief in the night.
This must be LOVE.

I just want one more day with you

2010-05-22T01:05:00.000-07:00

I'm so sad and depressed
Is all I want to do is rest
I go to sleep at night
But my dreams I just can't fight

I think of you lying in that bed
And wonder if there is anything I could have said
I wish you were still here
But I know that you are still near

I love you more than you know
I just wish you didn't have to go
I just want one more day with you
And I know thats what you would have wanted too

I miss you more and more each day
There is so much more we had to say
I know I will see you again
But my life is just started to begin.

Ye Kya K Sab Se Bayan Dil Ki Halaten Karni

2010-05-08T05:56:00.001-07:00

ye kya k sab se bayan dil ki halaten karni
'Faraz' tujh ko na ain muhabbaten karani

ye qurb kya hai k tu samane hai aur hamain
shumar abhi se judai ki sa'aten karani

koi khuda ho k patthar jise bhi ham chahen
tamam umr usi ki ibadaten karni

sab apne apne qarine se muntazir us k
kisi ko shukr kisi ko shikayaten karani

ham apne dil se hain majabur aur logon ko
zara si bat pe barpa qayamaten karani

milen jab un se to mubaham si guftagu karna
phir apne ap se sau-sau vazahaten karani

ye log kaise magar dushmani nibhaten hain
hamin ko ras na ain muhabbaten karani

kabhi 'Faraz' naye mausamon main ro dena
kabhi talash purani raqabaten karani

tuu paas bhi ho to dil beqaraar apanaa hai

2010-05-08T05:53:00.000-07:00

tuu paas bhi ho to dil beqaraar apanaa hai
ke ham ko teraa nahin intazaar apanaa hai

mile koi bhi teraa zikr cheer dete hain
ke jaise saaraa jahaan raazdaar apanaa hai

wo duur ho to bajaa tark-e-dosti kaa khayaal
wo saamane ho to kab ikhtiyaar apanaa hai

zamaane bhar ke dukhon ko lagaa liyaa dil se
is aasare pe ke ik gamgusaar apanaa hai

‘Faraz’ raahat-e-jaan bhi vahi hai kyaa kije
wo jis ke haath se sinaafigaar apanaa hai

Jab Tera Dard Myrey Sath Wafa Karta Hae

2010-05-08T05:51:00.000-07:00

Jab Tera Dard Myrey Sath Wafa Karta Hae
Ek Samandar Myri Aankhon Se Baha Karta Hae

Uss Ki Batain Mujey Khushbu Ki Tarah Lagti Hain
Phool Jaisey Koi Sehra Main Khila Karta Hae

Myrey Dost Kii Pehchan Yahi Kaafi Hae
Woh Har Ek Shakhus Ko Daanista Khafa Karta Hae

Aur Tu Koi Sabab Uss Ki Muhabbat Ka Nahi
Baat Itni Hae Kay Woh Muj Se Jafa Karta Hae

Jub Khizan Aai Tu Laut Aaye Ga Woh Bhi Faraz
Woh Baharon Main Zara Kum Mila Karta Hae ..!!!

To Love is To Sacrifice

2010-05-08T00:16:00.000-07:00

I have taken nothing for granted
you are the one all I ever wanted
what for am I in love
I presume nothing comes above
It's the life's essence
and you be my influence when I turn to sacrifice
the place where I stand is not mine
just one smile on your face can make my life shine
let me whimper and give vent to all the pain
let there be tears and rain...
let them make flowers that adorn you shine
let all the moments in life entwine
let me grow a little more wise
lend me your hand when I fall and rise
then this world would be a true paradise
let me see what else I am upto
It's just not on this day I want to say I love you
everyday I would love toï¿½

Torn Souls!

2010-04-21T05:00:00.001-07:00

I'm tired of these stupid fights,
what gives you the thought that you can take away my rights?
i lay awake at night thinking of your face,
and from the start i was falling from grace.
your words are like a knife that cut so deep,
making me want to fall into an eternal sleep.
you left me out in the cold for so long,
even when it wasn't me doing the wrong.
i put myself aside from time to time,
to be in your arms in the drop of a dime.
come on and take me away,
because away from you is where i cant stay.
holding me tight and cuddling with me,
in your arms is where I'm meant to be.
I'm losing my head and going insane,
but from all these fights what is there to gain?
a torn soul and a broken heart,
that's what we'll get from being apart.

Wanted to know!

2010-04-21T01:50:00.000-07:00

Deep, Deep inside of your heart
There is a weight that still needs to be lifted
You covered it up, but the pain never stopped
Sometimes I wish that you would just listen
Deep, Deep inside of yourself
There is a soul starving for some affection
Been waiting for years,And the time passes by all you ever wanted was to fit in
So I wrote you this song, I hope that you like it
Cause you light up my life and I know you can fight this
You're the most beautiful girl in the world,And I wanted you to know
Constantly waiting for life
The start of love that surrounds it
If you only looked right by your side
You'll find that it never had left you
Live through so much,
And seen so many things through your eyes
And I wish that you could just see
If it were up to me I would construct a key to your heart
And finally set you free
So I wrote you this song,
I hope that you like it
Cause you light up my life and I know you can fight this
You're the most beautiful girl in the world,
And I wanted you to know
You came calling, You've got no reason to hide
You're so lovely, built with a beautiful mind
(You came calling, You've got no reason to hideYou're so lovely, built with a beautiful mind)
We will run and when will you relized your so special
(You came calling, You've got no reason to hideYou're so lovely, built with a beautiful mind)You're so Beautiful to me dear
You came calling, You've got no reason to hide
(We will run and when will you relize your so special to me)
You're so lovely, built with a beautiful mind
(You're so Beautiful to me dear)
Built with a Beautiful mind,Built with a Beautiful mind,
So I wrote you this song, I hope that you like it
Cause you light up my life and I know you can fight this
You're the most beautiful girl in the world,
And I wanted you to know

Urdu Poetry! (A Beautiful Poem Posted By My Friend)

2010-04-20T00:49:00.001-07:00

Chand ki simt nazar jaye to kya hota hai?
Rat kisi ki yaad mein guzar jaye to kya hota hai

Kitni masoom ada se wo mujhe pochta hai
Jab koi dil mein utar jaye to kya hota hai

Mere Allah tu faqt itna bata de usko
Admi jeete ji mar jaye to kya hota hai

Koi anjan se shaks ka kisi pichle pehar
Aks ankhon mein thehr jaye tu kya hota hai

Dard de k mujhe wo hansta raha or bola
Dard jab had se guzar jaye tu kya hota hai

Looking back I lived a lie

2010-04-18T23:35:00.000-07:00

Feelings of despair
Wanting to die
Fear crept deep within
This world didn't care

My mind kept me from knowing truthfully
I knew no love for myself
If unhidden there is beauty
In the person hidden inside
In a heart there is wealth

Hidden truth kept me from living
Thankfully I now live
Hidden truth kept me from giving
Here I am, I now see
It is better to give

Broken thoughts of childhood dreams
I was so broken by this walk
Yet nothing is as it seems
When truth is hidden
Now I live, now I talk

Give yourself to the truth of you
The rest is all a lie
You are special, this is true
You are worth this life
Don't let life pass you by

Unspoken Words!!!

2010-04-18T23:31:00.001-07:00

Words unspoken
But Strangely Felt
As Confusing as it may seem
In search for this hidden meaning...

When I'm out walking in Rain

2010-04-18T02:24:00.001-07:00

When I'm out walking
in the cold rain,
I see other peoples faces
some happy, some in pain
I look closer...
with a whimper I hear
I wonder if it's the rain or really a tear?
Do people like the rain so much
as a way to hide their crying?
Because of all the pain inside
that makes them feel like dying
So whenever I'm out in the cold rain
I sometimes find myself thinking
about all the pain this world is in...
and the people stay smile... sadly they sinking

inside my room

2010-04-18T02:18:00.000-07:00

It's a night like any other night of my life...under my darkness room
feelling alone take me out of this wourld...and the sadness dominate my heart
the suffering make me cry...and my mind go to think
why we become like that ?
why i always feel pain ?
I lost some thing very important for me...maybe more...
what should i do ?
I don't know...
and u...what do u missing in this life ?

I wish you could!!!

2010-04-18T02:15:00.001-07:00

...I wish you could hear my silent scream that goes on in my mind...
...My heart, and my soul...
...I never thought I'd say these words about you, But will you be there for me ?...
...Will you Hope for me ?...
...Will you Pray for me ?...
...Cuz i Hope you know I'll always Hope and pray for you....!!!!...
...that some day you could just hear me....!!!!...
...These tainted words in Love songs just kill me On the inside ...
...My Unhealed heart breaks into more and more Pieces...
...Your sins are in Me .....
... but I'll promise you... my heart n my soul and myself...
...if i Just kiss my eyes and back to sleep...
...I can see you in my dreams...
...And even that ...see what they .....to you...
...and now i wish to understand just why ????!!!!!!!!!!!!...

My One True Love

2010-04-18T02:09:00.000-07:00

Throughout my short existence,
I've found but one true love,
Someone who fits me perfectly,
Just like a rubber glove.

This person is someone I trust,
Someone who's always there,
Someone who I can turn to,
Through darkness and despair.

I've known since I first met her,
I love her oh so much,
I long for her to love me,
And to feel her gentle touch.

She says that she still loves me,
Yet just wants to be my friend,
But I know that I'll still love her,
Until the very end.

I wish that I could have her,
As my very own,
But I guess I had my chance,
And I guess that chance was blown.

This girl I love so very much,
Means more to me than ever,
And I hope deep down inside,
That one day we'll be together.

Some Beautiful Words!!!!

The test of friendship doesn't come when u r together. It comes when u part ways & u realize that despite the distance, the friendship is still there... Friendship isn't how u forget but how u forgive, not how u listen but how u understand, not what u see but how u feel, and not how u let go but how u hold on!!!

friendship is a silent gift of nature.. more old .. more strong.. more deep.. more clear.. more close.. more warm.. less words.. more understanding..

from fun ;"; ;/("v")"; /";"/ /;./ "v" './ %./ is not only made for lovers;its also for friends who luv each other better than lovers!!

Tere Dard Se Dil Lyrics

2010-04-15T00:34:00.000-07:00

tere dard se dil aabad raha - 2
kutch bhul gaye kutch yaad raha
kutch yaad raha
tere dard se dil aabad raha
kutch bhul gaye kutch yaad raha
kutch yaad raha

(naseeba bhi kya rang laya
kaha laake hum ko milaya ) - 2
apni wafaa le gul khil na paaye
milke bhi tujhse hum mil na paaye
dard-e-dil hum kaise sahe
durr bhi hum kaise rahe
tera gam tere jaane ke baad raha - 2
kutch bhul gaye kutch yaad raha
kutch yaad raha

(jaan-e-wafa tujhko kya de
dil keh raha hai dua de) - 2
armaan bujhe hai sapne dhuaan hai
mar mar ke hum toh zinda yaha hai
bekhudi mein hum kho gaye
phir judaa tujhse ho gaye
chahat ka jahaan barbaad raha - 2
kutch bhul gaye kutch yaad raha
kutch yaad raha
tere dard se dil aabad raha
kutch bhul gaye kutch yaad raha
kutch yaad raha - 3

I Still Miss You

2010-04-11T04:29:00.001-07:00

This yearning in my heart
This confusion in my mind
The words left unspoken
Haunts me all the time

Everyday I watch pass by
With an emptiness in my life
And a hole in my heart
Where only you belong

There are nights I wake up crying
And wishing you were here
To hold me in your arms
And kiss away my tears

There is something that keeps me holding on -
What I'll never know
But one day things will go my way
And I'll have you in my arms

You Meant So Much

2010-04-11T04:24:00.000-07:00

You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky

Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near

Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time

Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.

Love Hurts

2010-02-22T02:12:00.000-08:00

You told me that you loved me
why did you leave me to cry in the cold
you swore this time was different
why does that line seem so old
You told me I was the only one
who could make you feel that way
you told me that you cared about me
so why didnt you stay
All the nights you laid with me
alone in the dark in my bed
now I finally realize
you were just messing with my head
Love is such a powerful word
a word people often misuse
something they take for granted
something they beat and abuse
My wounds run deep inside me
there's blood all over the place
I think I’ve really lost it this time
Im ashamed to show my face

Love Planted Worded Seeds!!!!

2010-02-01T06:17:00.000-08:00

I recall when I began writing
Once upon a time
While pouring out emotions
Expressing in rhyme
Poems watered by the tears
Till they see the light
I allow my emotions to flow
As I continue to write
With hope here in my heart
Upon each new day
I have patiently persevered
Each step of the way
Love planted worded seeds
To spread and grow
Hoping poetry buds blossom
With everlasting glow

Love hurts !!!

2010-01-31T02:05:00.001-08:00

Love hurts

Love scars

Love wounds

Almost any heart

Not tough or stong enough

To take a lot of pain

Take a lot of pain

Love is like a cloud

Holds a lot of rain

Love hurts ...

Ooh, ooh love hurts

I'm young

I know

But even so

I know a thing ot two

And I learned from you

I really learned a lot

Really learned a lot

Love is like a flame

It burns you when it's hot

Love hurts ...

Ooh, ooh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness

Blissfulness, togetherness

Some fools fool themselves I guess

They're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true

Love is just a lie

Made to make you blue

Love hurts ...

Ooh, ooh love hurts

I know it isn't true

Love is just a lie

Made to make you blue

Love hurts ...

Ooh, ooh love hurts

For the first time in my Dismal Lie!!!

cage my heart

2010-01-26T23:13:00.000-08:00

cage my heart
so it doesn't break

close my mind
so i can't think

hold my breath
so screams are silent

blind my eyes
so loss is unseen

build the walls of steel
so they can't tumble down

and let me hide here
so i don't have to feel

The Wild Swans at Coole!!!

2010-01-14T06:09:00.000-08:00

THE trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty Swans.

The nineteenth autumn has come upon me
Since I first made my count;
I saw, before I had well finished,
All suddenly mount
And scatter wheeling in great broken rings
Upon their clamorous wings.

I have looked upon those brilliant creatures,
And now my heart is sore.
All's changed since I, hearing at twilight,
The first time on this shore,
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,
Trod with a lighter tread.

Unwearied still, lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old;
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.

But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lake's edge or pool
Delight men's eyes when I awake some day
To find they have flown away?

The Second Coming

2010-01-14T06:07:00.000-08:00

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Night

2010-01-14T05:56:00.000-08:00

The sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.
The moon like a flower
In heaven's high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night.

Farewell, green fields and happy groves,
Where flocks have took delight.
Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves
The feet of angels bright;
Unseen they pour blessing
And joy without ceasing,
On each bud and blossom,
And each sleeping bosom.

They look in every thoughtless nest,
Where birds are cover'd warm;
They visit caves of every beast,
To keep them all from harm.
If they see any weeping
That should have been sleeping,
They pour sleep on their head,
And sit down by their bed.

When wolves and tygers howl for prey,
They pitying stand and weep;
Seeking to drive their thirst away,
And keep them from the sheep;
But if they rush dreadful,
The angels, most heedful,
Receive each mild spirit,
New worlds to inherit.

And there the lion's ruddy eyes
Shall flow with tears of gold,
And pitying the tender cries,
And walking round the fold,
Saying ``Wrath, by his meekness,
And by his health, sickness
Is driven away
From our immortal day.

`And now beside thee, bleating lamb,
I can lie down and sleep;
Or think on him who bore thy name,
Graze after thee and weep.
For, wash'd in life's river,
My bright mane for ever
Shall shine like the gold
As I guard o'er the fold.''

On Anothers Sorrow !!!

2010-01-14T05:55:00.001-08:00

Can I see another's woe,

And not be in sorrow too?
Can I see another's grief,
And not seek for kind relief?

Can I see a falling tear,
And not feel my sorrow's share?
Can a father see his child
Weep, nor be with sorrow fill'd?

Can a mother sit and hear
An infant groan an infant fear?
No, no! never can it be!
Never, never can it be!

And can he who smiles on all
Hear the wren with sorrows small,
Hear the small bird's grief & care,
Hear the woes that infants bear,

And not sit beside the nest,
Pouring pity in their breast;
And not sit the cradle near,
Weeping tear on infant's tear;

And not sit both night & day,
Wiping all our tears away?
O, no! never can it be!
Never, never can it be!

He doth give his joy to all;
He becomes an infant small;
He becomes a man of woe;
He doth feel the sorrow too.

Think not thou canst sigh a sigh
And thy maker is not by;
Think not thou canst weep a tear
And thy maker is not near.

O! he gives to us his joy
That our grief he may destroy;
Till our grief is fled & gone
He doth sit by us and moan.

A Beautiful Poem written by Wasi Shah. The most famous and heart-touching poem by wasi...

A Beautiful Quote from Choice of my Friend!!!

2009-11-24T02:11:00.000-08:00

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination

nor both together go to the making of genius.

Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

A Complaint

2009-11-23T06:20:00.000-08:00

There is a change--and I am poor;
Your love hath been, nor long ago,
A fountain at my fond heart's door,
Whose only business was to flow;
And flow it did; not taking heed
Of its own bounty, or my need.

What happy moments did I count!
Blest was I then all bliss above!
Now, for that consecrated fount
Of murmuring, sparkling, living love,
What have I? Shall I dare to tell?
A comfortless and hidden well.

A well of love--it may be deep--
I trust it is,--and never dry:
What matter? If the waters sleep
In silence and obscurity.
--Such change, and at the very door
Of my fond heart, hath made me poor.

Sonnet 138: When my love swears that she is made of truth

2009-11-23T04:38:00.000-08:00

When my love swears that she is made of truth
I do believe her, though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutored youth,
Unlearnèd in the world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue;
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
O, love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love, loves not to have years told.
Therefore I lie with her, and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flattered be.

Original version of La Belle Dame Sans Merci, 1819

2009-11-23T04:35:00.000-08:00

Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.

Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel's granary is full,
And the harvest's done.

I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever-dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
Fast withereth too.

I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful - a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.

I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.

I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery's song.

She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna-dew,
And sure in language strange she said -
'I love thee true'.

She took me to her elfin grot,
And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
With kisses four.

And there she lulled me asleep
And there I dreamed - Ah! woe betide! -
The latest dream I ever dreamt
On the cold hill side.

I saw pale kings and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried - 'La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!'

I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gaped wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
On the cold hill's side.

And this is why I sojourn here
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.

A Poison Tree

2009-11-23T04:32:00.000-08:00

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Kabhi Yun Bhi Aa Meri Aankh Mein,

2009-11-14T22:03:00.000-08:00

Kabhi Yun Bhi Aa Meri Aankh Mein,
Ke Meri Nazar Ko Khabar Na Ho
Mujhe Ek Raat Nawaz De ,
Magar Uske Baad Saher Na Ho
Woh Bara Raheem-o-Kareem Hai,
Mujhe Yeh Sifat Bhi Ata Karein
Tujhe Bhoolne Ki Dua Karoon,
To Dua Mein Meri Asar Na Ho
Kabhi Din Ki Dhoop Mein Jhoom Ke,
Kabhi Shab Ke Phool Ko Choom Ke
Yun Hi Saath Saath Chalein sada,Mere Paas Mere Habeeb Aaah,
Zara Aur Dil Ke Qareeb AaAh,
Tujhe Dhadkano Mein Basalon Main,
Ke Bichhadne Ka Kabhie Dar Na Ho
Kabhi Khatam Apna Safar Na Ho.

Fingers Playing Piano Forte

2009-11-09T06:18:00.001-08:00

If only I could find the words

To whisper in your ear

The music of my heart undone

Whenever far or near

Remembering the chord

Across my heart

Fingers playing pianoforte

As if in deceptive cadence

Of impressionistic consort

My mind welcomes da capo-dolce

Making my heart soar

Remembrance of the music

Bows crossing with appassionato flare

Creating desired andante

In which within tempo

Is sometimes hard to bear

Often there are phrases

My young soul wants to play

Although experience forces

A fermata

Fear of making grave mistakes

Albeit, I keep asking

Must I keep my muse at bay?

If only I could play the song

Gently upon your ear

The music of my heart undone

Whenever far or near.

My Broken Heart

2009-11-09T04:34:00.000-08:00

A broken heart is what I feel
It leads to flowing tears
The sorrow from this loneliness
Gives way to deeper fears
I hurt inside from losing you
I'm often asking why?
How could this end so suddenly?
I feel like I could die
It wasn't very long ago
That you and I embraced
It feels like only yesterday
And now my soul's displaced
I'm trying to find a peaceful thought
Where you and I were strong
But in the absence of your love
My happiness has gone
For all the times we've laughed, we've hugged
And all the times we've kissed
For all the times we've made sweet love
Your touch is what I've missed
I truly hope there comes a day
When love will reunite
I'll wipe away these lonely tears
I cry throughout the night

Jessica

2009-11-09T04:25:00.000-08:00

She was beautiful
Everyone told her so
And she loved him
But she couldn't let him know

She had a boyfriend
And he didn't care
He hit her
To leave him she didn't dare

So she went on through high school
With this same guy
he would beat her and throw her around
but never would she cry

Where did that bruise come from
her friends would ask
I fell down the stairs
And that cut's from the glass

They believed all of her excuses and her lies
Thats everyone except this one other guy
He Had loved her ever since the seventh grade
Ever since he saw her at that Christmas parade

He wanted to help her but want could he do
He had to save her she was really getting hurt
The guy pushed her around
He treated her like dirt

He went to her house
And knocked on the door
He looked in the window
And saw blood on the floor

He heard him yell
So he twisted the knob
He couldn't get in
He could hear her sob

He called the police
They got there fast
They opened the door
He let out a gasp

There she was
Sprawled out on the floor
He couldn't bear to look
But wait theres more

There was a funeral
The very next day
He wanted to attend
But what could he say

He took a seat
In the very last row
He loved her so much
She just didn't know

There was a note found under her bed
He had no idea
all kinds of thoughts flew in his head

"My boyfriend hits me
But what can i do.."
"And theres this really sweet guy..
I wish he liked me
but he has no clue"

Head v Heart

2009-11-08T06:28:00.000-08:00

Once again I'm in this tough dilemma,
Where I just don't know what to do.
My heads telling me no and to just let it go,
But my hearts got too much love for you.

But then again my heads giving me visions,
Visions of us being an item,
Visions of us being happy,
And me being there when you are frightened.

So for me to say I like you,
Would be just a drop in the ocean.
And to chose between head or heart,
It looks like they both win.

A Thanks to my Friends

2009-11-08T06:26:00.000-08:00

Thank you for being there when I needed you...
and even when I didn't,

Thank you for being there through the good times...
and the bad,

Thank you for being there to encourage my dreams....
and my crazy ideas,

Thank you for catching me...
before I fell down,

Thank you for wiping away the tears...
when I was crying,

Thank you for cheering me up...
and making me laugh,

Thank you for all the great memories...
and the bad,

But most of all... thank you...
For being you!

To My Best Freind

2009-11-08T06:22:00.002-08:00

You see right through my pretenses
you look right through my mask
you know just when I need a hug
I never need to ask

You show up when I'm lonely
you stay when I'm depressed
all of my rude comments
you shrug away in jest

You see all my dark
you see all my light
you're always by my side
even when I'm not right

You cheer me when I'm sad
you catch me when I fall
How did you come to earn my trust,
when I trust no one else at all?

My Best Friend

2009-11-08T06:20:00.001-08:00

Today I found a friend,
Who knew everything I felt.
She knew my every weakness,
And the problems I've been dealt.
She understood my wonders,
And listened to my dreams.
She listened to how I felt about life and love,
And knew what it all means.

Not once did she interrupt me,
Or tell me I was wrong.
She understood what I was going through,
And promised she'd stay long

I reached out to this friend
To show her that i care
To pull her close and let her know
How much I need her there

I went to hold her hand
To pull her a bit nearer
And realized that this perfect friend I found
Was nothing but my mirror.

Spring

2009-11-02T00:23:00.001-08:00

Nothing is so beautiful as spring—
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.

What is all this juice and all this joy?
A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginning
In Eden garden.—Have, get, before it cloy,
Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning.

The Dalliance Of The Eagles

2009-11-02T00:11:00.002-08:00

Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,)

Skyward in the air a sudden muffled sound,

the dalliance of the eagles,

The rushing amorous contact high in space together,

The clinching interlocking claws,

a living, fierce, gyrating wheel,

Four beating wings, two beaks,

a swirling mass tight grappling,

In tumbling turning clustering loops,

straight downward falling,

Till o'er the river pois'd,

the twain yet one, a moment's lull,

A motionless still balance in the air,

then parting, talons loosing,

Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting,

their separate diverse flight,

She hers, he his, pursuing.

Loveliest of Trees

2009-11-02T00:11:00.001-08:00

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride,
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life.

2009-10-31T06:22:00.000-07:00

Lord Byron Described the scene in beautiful quote as

"Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life.

The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,

and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray."

Sonnet 46

2009-10-29T00:39:00.000-07:00

Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war,

How to divide the conquest of thy sight;

Mine eye my heart thy picture’s sight would bar,

My heart mine eye the freedom of that right.

My heart doth plead that thou in him dost lie,

A closet never pierc’d with crystal eyes

But the defendant doth that plea deny,

And says in him thy fair appearance lies.

To side this title is impannelled

A quest of thoughts, all tenants to the heart;

And by their verdict is determined

The clear eye’s moiety, and the dear heart’s part:

As thus; mine eye’s due is thy outward part,

And my heart’s right, thy inward love of heart.

How Do I Love Thee

2009-10-29T00:22:00.000-07:00

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with a passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

Mujhe Zindgi Ne Mita Dia

2009-09-13T02:52:00.000-07:00

Kabhi Gham Ki Aag Mein Jal Uthe
Kabhi Dil Ka Daagh Jala Dia,

Ay Junoon-e-Ishq Bata Zara
Mujhe Q Tamasha Bana Dia,

Gham-e-Ishq Kitna Ajeeb H
Ye Junoon se kitna qarib hai,

Kabhi ashak palkon pe ruk gae
Kabhi mein ne darya baha dia,

Mera jzba-e-shoq to dekhiye
Meri bandgi hai wo bandgi,

Jahan tera
naqsh-e-Qdam Mila
Wahin ghar apna Basa Dia,

Abhi Kr Rhe Ho Tum Ibteda
Mera Keh Raha H Ye Tajruba,

Tumhe Zindagi Ki Hai Aarzu
Mujhe Zindgi Ne Mita Dia

hawayen teez hon aur kashtiyun mein shaam ho jaye

mujhay maloom hai usska thikana phir kahan ho ga
parinda asmaan choonay mein jab nakaam ho jaye

ujalay apni yaadon k humaray sath rehnay do
najanay kis gali mein zindagi ki shaam ho jaye

Hamain Jaan deni hai ek din, wo kisi tarah wo Kahin Sahi
Hamain Aap khinchey Daar per. Jo nahi koi to Hum hi Sahi

Sar-e-Toor ho, Sar-e-Hashar ho, Hamain Intizaar Qabool hai
Wo Kabhi miley, wo kahin miley, wo kabhi Sahi, wo kahin Sahi

Na ho Un per jo Mera Bus na sahi, keh yeh Aashqi hai Hawas nahi
Main Unhi ka tha, Main Unhi ka hoon, wo Mere nahi to na Sahi

Jo ho Faisla woh sunaaiye, usey Hashar per na Uthaaiye
Jo karain ge Aap Sitam wahan, wo abhi sahi, wo yahin Sahi

Usey dekhne ki jo Loo lagi, to ‘NASIR’ dekh hi lain ge Hum
Wo Hazaar Aankh se Door ho, wo Hazaar Parda-Nasheen Sahi!!!!!!

Tumhi ko Chahtay hain Tumhi se Muhabbat kertay hain.

Anne Bradstreet - To My Dear and Loving Husband

2009-08-15T22:18:00.000-07:00

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more that whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Tam O'Shanter (1790) - LISTEN

2009-08-15T22:15:00.000-07:00

When chapman billies leave the street,
And drouthy neibors, neibors, meet;
As market days are wearing late,
And folk begin to tak the gate,
While we sit bousing at the nappy,
An' getting fou and unco happy,
We think na on the lang Scots miles,
The mosses, waters, slaps and stiles,
That lie between us and our hame,
Where sits our sulky, sullen dame,
Gathering her brows like gathering storm,
Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.

This truth fand honest Tam o' Shanter,
As he frae Ayr ae night did canter:
(Auld Ayr, wham ne'er a town surpasses,
For honest men and bonie lasses).

O Tam! had'st thou but been sae wise,
As taen thy ain wife Kate's advice!
She tauld thee weel thou was a skellum,
A blethering, blustering, drunken blellum;
That frae November till October,
Ae market-day thou was na sober;
That ilka melder wi' the Miller,
Thou sat as lang as thou had siller;
That ev'ry naig was ca'd a shoe on
The Smith and thee gat roarin' fou on;
That at the Lord's house, ev'n on Sunday,
Thou drank wi' Kirkton Jean till Monday,
She prophesied that late or soon,
Thou wad be found, deep drown'd in Doon,
Or catch'd wi' warlocks in the mirk,
By Alloway's auld, haunted kirk.

Ah, gentle dames! it gars me greet,
To think how mony counsels sweet,
How mony lengthen'd, sage advices,
The husband frae the wife despises!

But to our tale: Ae market night,
Tam had got planted unco right,
Fast by an ingle, bleezing finely,
Wi reaming sAats, that drank divinely;
And at his elbow, Souter Johnie,
His ancient, trusty, drougthy crony:
Tam lo'ed him like a very brither;
They had been fou for weeks thegither.
The night drave on wi' sangs an' clatter;
And aye the ale was growing better:
The Landlady and Tam grew gracious,
Wi' favours secret, sweet, and precious:
The Souter tauld his queerest stories;
The Landlord's laugh was ready chorus:
The storm without might rair and rustle,
Tam did na mind the storm a whistle.

Care, mad to see a man sae happy,
E'en drown'd himsel amang the nappy.
As bees flee hame wi' lades o' treasure,
The minutes wing'd their way wi' pleasure:
Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious,
O'er a' the ills o' life victorious!

But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white-then melts for ever;
Or like the Borealis race,
That flit ere you can point their place;
Or like the Rainbow's lovely form
Evanishing amid the storm. -
Nae man can tether Time nor Tide,
The hour approaches Tam maun ride;
That hour, o' night's black arch the key-stane,
That dreary hour he mounts his beast in;
And sic a night he taks the road in,
As ne'er poor sinner was abroad in.

The wind blew as 'twad blawn its last;
The rattling showers rose on the blast;
The speedy gleams the darkness swallow'd;
Loud, deep, and lang, the thunder bellow'd:
That night, a child might understand,
The deil had business on his hand.

Weel-mounted on his grey mare, Meg,
A better never lifted leg,
Tam skelpit on thro' dub and mire,
Despising wind, and rain, and fire;
Whiles holding fast his gude blue bonnet,
Whiles crooning o'er some auld Scots sonnet,
Whiles glow'rin round wi' prudent cares,
Lest bogles catch him unawares;
Kirk-Alloway was drawing nigh,
Where ghaists and houlets nightly cry.

By this time he was cross the ford,
Where in the snaw the chapman smoor'd;
And past the birks and meikle stane,
Where drunken Charlie brak's neck-bane;
And thro' the whins, and by the cairn,
Where hunters fand the murder'd bairn;
And near the thorn, aboon the well,
Where Mungo's mither hang'd hersel'.
Before him Doon pours all his floods,
The doubling storm roars thro' the woods,
The lightnings flash from pole to pole,
Near and more near the thunders roll,
When, glimmering thro' the groaning trees,
Kirk-Alloway seem'd in a bleeze,
Thro' ilka bore the beams were glancing,
And loud resounded mirth and dancing.

Inspiring bold John Barleycorn!
What dangers thou canst make us scorn!
Wi' tippenny, we fear nae evil;
Wi' usquabae, we'll face the devil!
The swats sae ream'd in Tammie's noddle,
Fair play, he car'd na deils a boddle,
But Maggie stood, right sair astonish'd,
Till, by the heel and hand admonish'd,
She ventur'd forward on the light;
And, wow! Tam saw an unco sight!

Warlocks and witches in a dance:
Nae cotillon, brent new frae France,
But hornpipes, jigs, strathspeys, and reels,
Put life and mettle in their heels.
A winnock-bunker in the east,
There sat auld Nick, in shape o' beast;
A towzie tyke, black, grim, and large,
To gie them music was his charge:
He screw'd the pipes and gart them skirl,
Till roof and rafters a' did dirl. -
Coffins stood round, like open presses,
That shaw'd the Dead in their last dresses;
And (by some devilish cantraip sleight)
Each in its cauld hand held a light.

By which heroic Tam was able
To note upon the haly table,
A murderer's banes, in gibbet-airns;
Twa span-lang, wee, unchristened bairns;
A thief, new-cutted frae a rape,
Wi' his last gasp his gabudid gape;
Five tomahawks, wi' blude red-rusted:
Five scimitars, wi' murder crusted;
A garter which a babe had strangled:
A knife, a father's throat had mangled.
Whom his ain son of life bereft,
The grey-hairs yet stack to the heft;
Wi' mair of horrible and awfu',
Which even to name wad be unlawfu'.

As Tammie glowr'd, amaz'd, and curious,
The mirth and fun grew fast and furious;
The Piper loud and louder blew,
The dancers quick and quicker flew,
They reel'd, they set, they cross'd, they cleekit,
Till ilka carlin swat and reekit,
And coost her duddies to the wark,
And linkit at it in her sark!

Now Tam, O Tam! had they been queans,
A' plump and strapping in their teens!
Their sarks, instead o' creeshie flainen,
Been snaw-white seventeen hunder linen!-
Thir breeks o' mine, my only pair,
That ance were plush o' guid blue hair,
I wad hae gien them off my hurdies,
For ae blink o' the bonie burdies!
But wither'd beldams, auld and droll,
Rigwoodie hags wad spean a foal,
Louping an' flinging on a crummock.
I wonder did na turn thy stomach.

But Tam kent what was what fu' brawlie:
There was ae winsome wench and waulie
That night enlisted in the core,
Lang after ken'd on Carrick shore;
(For mony a beast to dead she shot,
And perish'd mony a bonie boat,
And shook baith meikle corn and bear,
And kept the country-side in fear);
Her cutty sark, o' Paisley harn,
That while a lassie she had worn,
In longitude tho' sorely scanty,
It was her best, and she was vauntie.
Ah! little ken'd thy reverend grannie,
That sark she coft for her wee Nannie,
Wi twa pund Scots ('twas a' her riches),
Wad ever grac'd a dance of witches!

But here my Muse her wing maun cour,
Sic flights are far beyond her power;
To sing how Nannie lap and flang,
(A souple jade she was and strang),
And how Tam stood, like ane bewithc'd,
And thought his very een enrich'd:
Even Satan glowr'd, and fidg'd fu' fain,
And hotch'd and blew wi' might and main:
Till first ae caper, syne anither,
Tam tint his reason a thegither,
And roars out, "Weel done, Cutty-sark!"
And in an instant all was dark:
And scarcely had he Maggie rallied.
When out the hellish legion sallied.

As bees bizz out wi' angry fyke,
When plundering herds assail their byke;
As open pussie's mortal foes,
When, pop! she starts before their nose;
As eager runs the market-crowd,
When "Catch the thief!" resounds aloud;
So Maggie runs, the witches follow,
Wi' mony an eldritch skreich and hollow.

Ah, Tam! Ah, Tam! thou'll get thy fairin!
In hell, they'll roast thee like a herrin!
In vain thy Kate awaits thy comin!
Kate soon will be a woefu' woman!
Now, do thy speedy-utmost, Meg,
And win the key-stone o' the brig;
There, at them thou thy tail may toss,
A running stream they dare na cross.
But ere the keystane she could make,
The fient a tail she had to shake!
For Nannie, far before the rest,
Hard upon noble Maggie prest,
And flew at Tam wi' furious ettle;
But little wist she Maggie's mettle!
Ae spring brought off her master hale,
But left behind her ain grey tail:
The carlin claught her by the rump,
And left poor Maggie scarce a stump.

Now, wha this tale o' truth shall read,
Ilk man and mother's son, take heed:
Whene'er to Drink you are inclin'd,
Or Cutty-sarks rin in your mind,
Think ye may buy the joys o'er dear;
Remember Tam o' Shanter's mare.

LIFE TENDS TO BE HARDER

2009-08-15T22:12:00.001-07:00

Life tends to be harder
When expectations reach farther
And everything brings me down
When you aren’t around
Smiles seem to fade faster
When your gone away
And nobody’s eyes shine just quite the same
Love is a word I could use to describe
How I look at no one else when they pass me by
Coversations are duller
Seem pointless and bland
When your not right beside me holding my hand
Im not funny today
No one is laughing
As the sun sneaks away
Like nothing has happened
And I close my eyes
Try to fall asleep faster
Hoping tomorrow
Is a less painful disaster

AND I LOVE

2009-08-15T22:09:00.000-07:00

give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her

She gives me ev'rything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

ameer shehr mien hum sa koi kahan hoga.

laga na tohmathay tu ghor apne aap pa kar,
fishaan ye raaz tu ne khud hi kar diya hoga.
