You Can Be!

You can be!
You can be!
 You can be the star of your dreams!
Keep those dreams!
Draw them close!
Keep them churning all your thoughts!
Don’t speculate!
Don’t estimate!
Catch them by their lingering pain in your heart!
Nail them into holders of bouquets!
You are those gleaming lights!
Sparkling with spirit and vibrance!
You can let go all those bad feelings!
They are gone!
They are past!
Show me one with no bitter past!
Memories! Sweet and loving!
They are the charms the rose thorns wear!
They are the tender and delicate flowers!
Smell those roses!
Pause a while!
You will be making the beautiful path!
For, You are the star of your dreams!
 Reaching the sky only as your limit!
Take it girl! Take all that matters most!
That’s your sweet and shy,
Beautiful dream, that wants to 
See you as your star!
Celebrate!
For you are the winner tonight!

Summer Vs Humans

Sunny days, bright days,
High temperatures,
Heat waves, turning earth
Into a boiling furnace

Tempers high, tantrums,
Shouting at each other
Some people to show
Their rising differences

Sultry, dehydrating,
Shelter under the trees,
Reptiles, Birds, animals Or humans,
Each being looking for shade

They fuss, they fume,
They ditch and doom,
Chaos and disharmony
Then, some meloncholy.

May flowers, colorful
Steering the earth
Into a season of mangos
Pickles and jams

People restrain, share
Culture and language,
Enjoy each other's
Warm companionship

Life goes on, as earth rotates
Making day and night, repeats
People move on, start again
Building bonds feeling anew

Game

He came he walked,
He made people laugh
With his manic pranks
Mesmerizing public
Inside he was unsure
So he covered himself
In a blanket of darkness
Where no ray can pierce
When he went disguise
Laughter, they have known
When looked deeply
The eyes would say clearly
What sad things would
Come to engulf him
Eclipsing his brilliance
When all is lost,
God still remains,
Don't fall for demons
Keep Him at most.
Let the lesson be learnt
That we need to live
A hundred years,
Doing all the deeds
Covering all the chores,
Enjoy life, in His name
Not to falsify ones fame

Fantasy and Reality!

I dream of pastures,
Fields full of blue bonnets
I dream of Amazon forests
Or dip in the waters of Nyle

Sometimes I dream of water falls
Drenching the lands for miles
Carrying with them the sweet aroma
Of fresh water beings and sand

I wish to visit the museum of butterflies
Run across the play railroads in the park
Shun all my fears and sing like a lark
Flying with the spirit of an angel that flies

Living in apartment with cluttered things
Struggling all along to keep lives afloat,
I dream of the world that I can only visualize
Of visiting streams, seas or hill stations

I see the world through the window of the TV
Or sometimes read it on internet as I browse
Only world I know is lives of people who struggle
To survive, elevate their lives, overcoming strifes

I guess, it is a fair trade, to learn of people
allow them to grow and be creative,
Sparkle their imagination and help them
Learn to solve their problems, develop skills

I see Sunshine, when they succeed,
When their dreams are realized
I see them sing with their hearts
After months of working to reach their goals,
I see their world ever so beautiful!
