My Sweet Tenderness

Oh dear!  dear ! my sweet tenderness

Fall into my arms like a bunch of lavender

Ur love has made me go breathless

U conquered my heart like a crusader

I feel u close to my chest even while apart

My heart skips a beat and dance with the starts

Then when I drifted like a dream afloat in the creator’s art

I pray and believe that we are ever to last

My Mother of God !

Oh my Dear, Sweet Mother of God

I pray to your immaculate heart struck by the sword

With all the passion and pain, you went through with my Lord

I pray to you to preserve forever my soul.

I remember those words my momma told

‘Hold her tight and never let her go,

She is your mother and mother of whole world

And she will guide you to the path of our Lord.’

I pray to you Mary, as my rosary beads roll

Protect me from all demons and vices, so foul

Let me not wander, but lead me to HIS abode

For you are the lady in the heavens, who was foretold.

~Take HIS hand~

Oh my long lost state of mind.

Here I am, I give up the fight

Now take me back from being blind

Lead me, to the ONE that is bright.

The dents shall not be a part of life.

The ashes of past has been left behind.

‘Truth’ is the one for whom I strive.

 HE is the one who awakens the mankind

It is never too late to take HIS hand

Walk aside and see how this life unwinds.

Then sit beside his glorious feet,

Rest in HIM, even if the heart stops its beat.

~ A Prayer ~

You are the light, the true divinity

The guide of my entire destiny

Under you, stands all the army

But Father, pour forth your mercy

By your name, all vices die

In your name, all chains shall untie

In your name, all martyrs die

Making the flag of victory fly

There is none that holds with you, equality

No gold, no money, not a single deity

Empty are my words, to praise your magnanimity

I shall serve you for all eternity

~Rat Race~

We are all engaged in this rat race,

Trying to make the best run.

But do we ever look at each other’s face,

And be willing to enjoy and have some fun.

For some , it is crucial to end with pace,

Even if it is to take in hand , a gun.

Few of us would live long to see a day,

But the rest shall sure fade away.

It is an irony that we try running faster, this race

While not knowing what it is past that lace.

What is the point in running so fast?

When you know we all shall perish one day.

The Hope!

Neither can i live with you, nor without

And when I’m all alone it’s you that I think about

Every moment I was with you, it did feel right

Now When I close my eyes, it is you that stand bright

When I turn around and look back on the sand

I miss those tracks you used to leave on the land

Now Over the ledge of my heart is where I stand,

I wish you were close that I could hold your hand.

All that lives in me now are those moments of life

Those Flashes of reminiscence, that keeps me alive

These memories with salt and ice, I shake,

Mix it with a glass of vodka, and then take.

Sipping down from the chalice of pain

As I slowly walk down the unknown lane

With the hope and prayer that one day

I shall hold your hand once again, at the heavenly bay

~Not to be lost~

I am not to be lost
But to be saved,
For Christ is my Lord
And His Truth shall reign.

‘You are Mine’ He says,
He shall guard us always.
We have seen his wonderful ways
How he saved a mighty race.

With his blood he erased,
all his children’s disgrace.
Forever shall his name be praised,
For his kingdom shall prevail.
