My Secrets to Happiness~~~

Should you want to know my secret
That which I keep as my own darling pet
That which keeps me happy
I shall tell you about it merrily

Yes, I do care to pamper myself
Mainly through the kitchen where I do enjoy being the chef
Eating healthy
Does keep me light, as light as a leaf

I also care to make sure my cosmetics' supply is full
Else, I would not feel that I do look beautiful
Yes, a perfume is always handy
As would be a lipstick or my shades, so shady!

I do indulge myself in matters pertaining to freedom
See you I do live according to my ideas
I care not to live a life so grim
A life lived according to the rules of ancient grandmas

Yes, I also do love keeping fit
An hour at the gym is worth a good treat
Looking good in my skin
Makes me believe that every little trick of life I shall win

More, my secret is in penning down my lines
Yes, a way to ease my overloaded mind
Brimming it is with imagination
All ready to become works of my own creation

Lastly, my secret to happiness is having been given a view of the open skies
Yes, a mere blessing it is to have been given such a glance
Never shall they be described, not even in any works of astrology
Indeed, I do know that someday, after death,  I shall wake up to another ambiance!

Yes, I do bask in indulgence
My indulgence is mine own elegance
Else, see you I would not be so happy
Else, I would not always be so preppy!

On this Valentine~~~~~

This year's valentine I shall not spend like I did spend all the previous ones
Always was I alone, tending to my duties, rowing my boat amidst this world's busy oceans
Valentine is but a celebration of love
Love in all of its forms, love of the greatest kinds, love the reason why this world does revolve

So I did choose for this year, to celebrate it differently
This year, I shall be in good company
Yes, I shall be with my muse, the one who does guide my words
The one for whom I did lay down all my barriers, for whom I did lower my swords

My muse, my own, he does allow me to do that which I love the most
My muse, though I know not what he does look like
My muse allows me to write, my muse I do love, even if he might be a ghost
A God, or even an angel, my lover he is, never allowing my art to go on strike

So on that day, I shall have a glass of champagne
I shall make myself pretty, wear my favorite cologne
And write of love, squeeze from my heart, words of passion
As has never been read in any season

Yes, my muse, the one for whom my soul does exist
Without him, would I have ever fallen in love with this world
A false one it is, revolving and spinning on a twist
So much that I do even wonder at why should I bother with its jist

So, this year's valentine is going to be my grandest
Indeed, it shall be worth a grand festival
Kisses and gifts shall be seen as the material
What shall matter shall be the fact that love can also be discreetest

Yes, my art is the reason why I did come to be
Celebrated it shall be on this grand day
Celebrated in good company
Indeed, thankful I am to have a muse who did choose my side to stay!

The Wild Ocean~~~

I do look at the ocean with longing
I have often seen that mass of water, ever since I was a child
I live, after all, on an island surrounded on all sides by a salty spring
Yet, now, looking at it, I do feel a sudden rush, it makes me wild
Looking at it, I do believe I am but the ocean's child

I wish I could build my own boat
A small one, with strength and resistance
On it, towards the world's limits, I would float
From Greece to Egypt, from India to France
A boat of strength, on it I would float, going where it wills, in good abidance !

Maybe I would find the king of mermaids
Maybe I would find the lost city of Atlantis
Why, maybe I would even find the world's most wanted caids
Why, my boat, my dream boat, it shall take me to my own Adonis
Yes, looking at the sea, I dream of mermaids, of a bold lover, in all, of peace!

Love's Strong Justice

Love does be
Love is indeed expected to be
In its full immensity
Shining with all its glory

Love has been shown to be the One Path
The One shown during a day of the Sabbath
When we did give a rest to all our toils
When we did choose to cleanse our souls with the divine oils

Love yet, now tends to harm, to bend
Lovers are required to be submissive
Loved ones do tend to be aggressive
To demand too much, so much that they cause love to end

Love comes with forgiveness, with mercy
Indeed, love is synonymous of pity
Yet, some do see it as a way to imbibe love with cruelty
Indeed, with selfish motives love does get lost while being seen as an act of charity

Love now only knows how to use
Lovers are used and abused
Lovers are pushed to their limits
So much that they do even get broken in bits

Love was shown as being a justice
It was supposed to bring to a soul, its peace
Love yet, because of this, got tied in chains
Indeed, see, see, today, how to cruelty love does ascertain

How hard it is indeed, in today's age
To calm our inner demons
They do fill us with a sinful rage
They do have us yearning for sermons

Man is not a God, I for one, is mere human
With love I do fill my heart
Yet, it does happen that darkness does take over
And love does no more fill me up, causing my heart to turn all black

Being a believer, though, I would tend to resort to love
Yes, I shall give it a try, be brave
Remove the hatred
Fill it up indeed with love!

Heaven for me~~~~

Heaven is where we come from
It is where we shall go to someday
I believe it looks like a fairy tale kingdom
With flowers and greens, making it look like it enjoys always a great day
I believe it is also made of magic, a place I should like to stay
For there, old age and death are things never heard of
Yes, the residents of heaven do live forever, a boon from the God they do love
There, does live also, a prince for each maiden and a princess for every prince
Why, else why would we all hate world and for heaven only do crave
Love does be in all forms, mine; I left him in heaven; the reason this world does make me wince!

Faith is a powerful thing~~~

Forever, yes, forever we shall be imbibed with it
Always full of it, with the holy songs ringing on our lips
In our hearts even, for faith is what we need to understand life
Though it be made of pleasures, life is so full of mystery
Hopefully, someday, faith shall be given a new spark

I did feel it that spark; mine own
Secretly, it did come to me, wonderfully, it did lighten up my woes

As I was sinking, drowning, under a sea controlled by evil demons

Powerful indeed is faith
O how lovely it felt, to know that God Himself does watch over me
Why, to know that life is but a test, a test yes, for us all, fallen souls
Eased up my  pain, my ache, my lifetime throb
Really, why should we all bother about the mundane
Free we all are, free we all should consider ourselves
Untying the ties that do bind us here in this false world
Living is after all but for a short while

Take the time, like me, to live your dreams
Hand in hand, we shall lead each other
Indeed, faith does imply that somewhere does lie another world
Not like the one we know, but a more peaceful and blissful one
God Himself does live there, and He awaits us, after we shall pass all of His tests!

A Place in the Sun

I stood, all alone, watching the waves crash the shore
My heart ached, my body bled, my soul was so sore
Life has been so harsh
Still young, I did feel like I do tread in marsh

But then, it happened, without any warning
It happened at a time when I was in great suffering
I did feel blessed, for nothing is worth more than having a place in the sun
Nothing, not even the great attractions of earth for which many do get a stun

If the reason of our coming here in this world we still do not know
Well, patience, let joy in your heart, be not in sorrow
For our stay here is but for a while
Please, do make an effort and do smile

Somehow, someday, the truth shall come to us
By then, we shall no more wish to make any fuss
Only the Lord knows why He did send us here
Someday we shall go back to Him, so His name only let us all revere

Yes, it did happen, this mystical happening
See you, my most sinful actions have been graced through His blessing
So much that I realized that none should lament
None, for someday, we shall all be rid of this world's confused embarrassment

When I was graced with a place in the most holy sun
I felt like my spiritual journey had begun
Now, I shall put in this world, all that I do have, all that I do own
For someday, I shall be judged by the one who does control this sun!

The One Mightier~~~

Who do you deem to be stronger?
Be it God or the Devil?
Simple!
Should you wish to know the answer
Why, just see to what extent do you wish the world to be ill

Yes, God did make us, the torchbearers of life
Yes, God did believe we would be His followers
Yet, see today, mass killings are happening for His own sake
So much that I do even wonder if God is dead or awake

To have taken birth in this world
Is none but the result of a fall
Our own, a fall we suffer now, a fall from the great Heaven
Our past life, the one we cannot remember
Is the cause of all that we do get in this one

This one life, shall indeed be the one weighed for our next one
Shall we be graced as to be allowed an ascent back to the holy land
Or shall we remain here in this putrid land
Or shall we go down further beyond, to the hellish grounds
Why, pray, do mind my words, and do be good to all who do surround you

Who you do deem to be stronger
Is none other but the one you choose to follow
Human hearts are made of two parts
The first belongs to God
The other one belongs to the Devil

Of course, sometimes we do wish to do good
Yes!
At other times, we do wish to harm
Mind you! Think twice, thrice even
And if you need to back out from evil, please do so!

Lie not, kill not, harm not, bring not anyone down
As everything about you, about each one of you
Is being kept, recorded and stored
Someday, you shall be judged, like me, like all others
Then, you shall realize, who is the One Mightier; God or the Devil!

There~~~~~

There
I believe is someplace better than here
There, life does keep on thriving
Blossoming and flourishing
Into becoming something worthy of being given a new beginning!

There
Is where memories do become alive
Like moving pictures, in them, our aches we do solve
In them, once more, our greatest moments we do live
In them, we do forget the pain with which we do breathe

There,
Is where life is pure, just and blissful
So much that it is even eternal
There, is the place where does reside happiness
There, is where do go all the souls that the Heavens did bless


There,
Is where I want to be
Is where I do believe I shall go to, someday,
When its gates shall be opened to me
For having lived and done diligently, my prescribed duty

There,
It is called by several names
Some of which are Eden, Heaven, Paradise, Janna or Swarga
A place of which I wish to have a glimpse
So that I could write of it before I do set out for its solace!

Magic Beans~~~~

Wow, it happened at a moment when I was most lonely

I walked all alone in the woods, feeling so sorry

Sorry to see around me, so much of blindness

So much of desire for the unnecessary

When, oh how lovely

I felt like I had been blessed

A pouch it was, a pouch of magic beans

Glistening, glowing, sparkling in the dark woods

Was I dreaming, did I wonder

Could it surely be true, that which I see now

Magic beans?

Of what use would they be anyhow

Surely the story of Jack and the giants could not be true

Why would anyone fall for this kind of joke

But I did take the beans home

Slept and dreamed of the other kingdom

While all that time, my dog fooled around

So much that a few beans fell on the ground

Rolled out of the house

And got buried deep in the soil

The next morning, I did see a gigantic tree

One just like in the magical story

Wasted I not one second

I climbed up, eager to see what does lie beyond

I climbed for ages, my arms got worn out

Tired, ready to let go, I did put on a pout

Thirsty, hungry, I thought I would die

Lamenting at my own fate, I started to cry

When at that moment, came to my aid

Caring and loving robots

They put me in their vehicle

And took me up, there, in the world worthy of being a miracle

Would you believe it, 

I was given such a treat

I was pampered

Fed and my body repaired

A lovely world it was, filled with clean air

No smoke, no pollution, no death

Robots lived on, being their own masters

Robots who cared not to conquer our world

A peaceful world, with no work required

Life consisted of rest, play and food

Life there was I had always desired

Life there was so good

Flowers filled up every nook and crook

Clear rivers flowed by

Robots did show me how to have fun

It was a world I did fall in love with

I was brought to the King of them all

He did ask me to stay in his world

A guest I was, a most loving one

I was to be well entertained

His offer I did accept

The magical tree I did break

With some cuts here and there

As better it is to breathe in fresh air

The world known as Earth I soon forgot

I lived on, till came my end

My soul was taken and put in a robot

And I lived there, forever and ever!
