Joy, Forever

I know not why my mind feels gay
with the trees, I want to sway

in the midst of flowers, I want to play
I feel some joy, I've found today

Joy, it feels, like a candle lit,
fairies of hope surrounding it

It feels to me like the glowing Sun,
like a yarn of happiness unspun

It feels like a top, swerving around
on its tip, dancing, along the ground
Joy, it seems, like a dropp in an ocean,

It feels like the drink of a magic potion

Joy, I hope, you forever remain
always ready to relieve my pain,

Life … Captivity

Life is a tale full of twists and turns
Of seas that calm and a Sun that burns
Of joys you laugh and sorrows you cry
Of deeds you do and goals you try;

Some roads still remain
untraversed, aloof,
Like the rider who knows not his horse's hoof,
When it sores, When it pains
Climbing along unfriendly terrains
The horse still continues its run,
Faithful, the beast of burden,
Uncomplaining, riding, neighing along
His mind however swaying along

Thinking when it would be free
When it would be unbound of the tree
When it will rise above the clouds
Far away from the madding crowds.

Pangs Of Love

How does it feel, how can I tell
in my heart, it seems,
there rings a bell
Unfaltered, moving, palling along,
my thoughts wander,
I sing a song

It seems funny, I feel I am lost,
I find myself in a holocaust

My emotions swing, my heart does burn,
towards where, I know not, my life does turn
My heart, I muse, for whom does it crave
I stand baffled, like an innocent knave,
who knows he has lost, but can't accept defeat,
who can praise her beauty, but her eyes cannot meet

I must gather courage, and break this shell,
To her I must confess, all I must tell,
With no thought of if I'll win or lose

The Mystery House

That door had been shut for years
No sound ever passed its ears
Its eyes were starved, for light,
Inside was just silent Night

Why was it closed, what had it been
Had it some kind of mishap seen
Was it waiting for its master, last,
To free it from some spell he cast

The wood cracked, the metal, rusted
cobwebs on its top vested
' The house of ghosts ',
it was taunted
Little John too knew the house was haunted
Eerie spirits, you could hear all night,
poor Ken, you see, huddled in fright
mother forbade, no one went close
into the death trap, none tried nor chose

Doom

See no evil, Hear no evil,
Speak no evil, that we learnt
That is why we did not notice
When the whole country burnt

With the lava of corruption,
emanating fire and fume
Grasping all in its flames
Bringing this world to doom

Not a single job can be
Got without connections,
Nor can the children see
A future without donations

Rapport with the right person
Is a must to rise upward
Who does not care for it
Does not go forward
Corruption, Match-fixing, Donation,
