Only Short Poems

“I sit here in despair,
when I knew you never cared,
and I always seem to wonder why its me who gets the thunder,but then I get so frightened because its you who gets the lightning.”

Since we first met,
i have never been or felt so happy,
I am complete but if you move,
half of me will be missing forever and ever,
unless you take me with you,
i hope we last forever,
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND ALWAYS WILL,
BABY IS THIS LOVE FOR REAL??

Love is when someone likes your ways,
and you like their ways too.

that person will always have a loved one.
and that loved ones always you,

its on the inside,
not how they look.

some people steel other’s heart’s
but its not always in a book.

I’m on my way to greet my master
And shake his hand when I die.
I’m on my way to john sweet Jesus
In his mansion beyond on high.

I’m on my way to escape man’s woes
Where the faithful rise to tell their story.
Following the path of love and compliance.
Guided by God’s magnificence and glory.

As I journey to and from all I love
It hurts to say my absolute goodbye.
I’m on my way to divine fulfillment
But for those left behind, “I cry”.

I’m going to miss you
You are to miss me
You are going to high school
I will still here you sax and Bridget’s drums
I’ll miss you all
Megan ill miss your voice
I love you guys
And I’ll never forget you

ITALIA! thou art fallen, though with sheen
Of battle-spears thy clamorous armies stride
From the north Alps to the Sicilian tide!
Ay! fallen, though the nations hail thee Queen
Because rich gold in every town is seen,
And on thy sapphire lake in tossing pride
Of wind-filled vans thy myriad galleys ride
Beneath one flag of red and white and green.
O Fair and Strong! O Strong and Fair in vain!
Look southward where Rome’s desecrated town
Lies mourning for her God-anointed King!
Look heaven-ward! shall God allow this thing?
Nay! but some flame-girt Raphael shall come down,
And smite the Spoiler with the sword of pain.

What it takes to make me smile
Is what it takes to love a child,
Or what it takes to go wild,
Kick off your shoes and stay awhile.
What it takes to kiss the stars
Hum a tune or daze out far…
What it takes warms a hug, is what it took me, to fall in love.

Love means to learn to look at yourself
The way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.
And whoever sees that way heals his heart,
Without knowing it, from various ills
A bird and a tree say to him: Friend.
Then he wants to use himself and things
So that they stand in the glow of ripeness.
It doesnt matter whether he knows what he serves:
Who serves best doesn’t always understand.

What happened that day
26th of November – a Wednesday
the day when Mumbai was turned upside down
and terrorists blowed up the entire town
men, women, children – none did they spare
and the politicians – did they care??
bobs were blasted, bullets – fired
but the terrorists weren’t tired
many a hundred men died
and others who lived – cried
peace came soon after
but for a long time, there was no laughter
and though the wounds inflicted on the taj will soon disappear
one thing is crystal clear
till the time we begin to live as one
only one thing can govern us – the gun…

The most precious of woman
The most divine of woman
My first love from sight
The one and only that got me happy and psyched
She was there in sickness and in richness
Kissed and hugged me telling me that she loved me
She gave me life my beloved mother..
Writing this is no bother
Because I love u mother…
