Fight, Head on.

Life’s a struggle, I seem to have lost,
With no sign of ray, it seems so aghast.

Sitting alone and crying within,
Life seems so much extinct.

I stretch my arms to find none,
With tears coming out on their own.

I loved so many but none ever stayed,
For me to feel lonely and betrayed.

As I watch my face in the mirror,
There is no sign of pleasure and see only tear.

Why do I cry? – I ask myself,
That’s because, says my lord, you don’t know your true self.

With no courage to live I look in the streets,
To find a beggar striving to meet his daily needs.

Are you so bad I ask the self in silence,
Certainly not – I realized in patience.

Give me the courage – I asked the lord,
Don’t worry my child, he assured, its time to move on.

Make the courage if you can’t find one he said,
For the struggles, he told, are many ahead.

Faint not fight on, he stated,
If not for victory or glory fight until the last breath and day.

Life’s struggle, it seems now, I hadn’t really lost,
It’s just that I didn’t fought.

With courage I looked at the challenges so strong,
Henceforth, never shall I fear, for I shall fight – head on!

To her… my love

I wanna talk to her,
For she’s my love.
Can’t explain how much would I be happy,
If I’m ever her beloved.

You’ll think I’m crazy,
As I smile when I hear her name.
The whole world turns upside down,
With a grace she speaks, so much am mesmerized, that I give up fame.

‘We’re Romeo and Juliet’,
It seems to me and many perhaps.
Can’t you see that Love between,
I ask her unasked.

As I fall for you in the ocean of love,
Tonight a hundred thousand rivers of emotions come to bow.

No matter what the future holds for us,
My falling for you would not be wrought.
For you are the beautiful sunshine,
I would like to have as I thought.

I wanna talk to her,
For she’s my love.
