we are creatures
made out of flesh
and spirit that
never surrenders.
we defy fate.
we defy the end.
for our hearts
beat beyond the body.
they are bound
together.
booming through millenniums.
laughing at pain.
showering hatred with love.
with every strike
we grow bigger.
stronger.
never surrendering to evil.
we rather fall… united.
in love.

Image-
I can’t eat when I’m stressed,
I can’t eat out of fear.
One day that food, will appear in the mirror.
On my stomach, legs, thighs and face.
Every bite that I take, leaving it’s trace.
You don’t think I want to give in?
But you can’t eat food and still stay thin.
You don’t see the things I do.
You don’t see, what I put my body through.
Anyone can gain or lose weight. It’s the maintaining it, that I’ve grown to hate.

whenever I find myself struggling,
most of the times my hardships are not resulting,
I thought of giving up..
The day I find myself depressed,
My mind is tired of being stressed,
I thought of giving up..
When everyone was against me,
nobody was ready to stand with me,
I thought of giving up…
But..
Giving Up is not always the solution,
for this you have to make resolution,
And never think of giving up..
All you need is to work hard,
Accept defeats and learn to move forward,
And never think of giving up,
One day you will realise,
situations are not always how you analyse,
And never think of giving up,
Giving Up is mare a distraction,
you just stay focussed and take action,
and never think of giving up..

Don’t weep for me
O Land of the free
When it was my time to fall
Twas for my country’s call
Twas for the land that I loved
That I gave my all
And for the land that I loved
I did freely give
And in her freedom
And her courage
I’ll continue to live.

I now know the thrills…
I now know the meaning..
Of a weak will..
But the resistance has lost..
The weak will subdued by a farce..
A promise that was made..
No its not good,
It was fake..
I see myself in the mirror everytime..
Little by little getting lost…
In this self inflicted crime..
But where is the salvation, that i seek..
Where is the preacher,
That preached the promised land..
15 min. Of heaven and than..
Another day..
Of getting tormented in hell..
When this cycle will stop, You ask..
I don’t know..
But till then I hope to live..
So I can slit this demon throat..
While holding him by his wrist..

At that moment when Aphrodite
conquered the fourth Sky as well
the highest circles of Society
decided that she could now be
proclaimed Illustrious Woman.
That is the great
moment had come for the Advertisement
her body to be stuck to the background
of Omnipotence
or for the passions of Nature to violently
trampled on
if she were
to conquer even the Ninth Heaven.
Or simply to be a contributor
to the Sun’s circling from Dawn to Sunset
to be executed not only
without any intervention of night
but also during the time period
when the Giants of money had a taste for it.
And without yet returning to her Man
Aphrodite observed that
the seas had begun to bury the blue in the earth
and the first dust had begun to fall
on the laurel wreath of victory
as the island of Cyprus
filled up with reporters and managers
and with the vilest people in the World.
The moment Hephaestus learned of all that
he locked himself in his house
because he too would be losing
his beautiful wife
now she had appeared before
the eyes of the World…

(with profuse apologies to John Masefield)
Elegant young lady dressed in black Versace
gliding around Waitrose with a leisured ease,
with a cartload of oysters, mussels, truffles,
fillet steak, Bollinger, and Stilton cheese.
Smartish young accountant still in office outfit
trudging around Sainsbury’s on her homeward way,
with a cartload of pasta, chicken, houmous,
pitta bread, Camembert and Chardonnay.
Shabby hungry student rushing back from lectures,
dashing around Tesco in her faded jeans,
with a cartload of cider, Cheddar, pizza,
sliced bread, sausages and cheap baked beans.

Genre: BRAVERY
To be brave is to be courageous
So, be fearless and be bold
Be unafraid to take chances,
In pursuit of your pot of gold.
To be brave is to be daring
Be undaunted by the inconceivable
When you are confident in yourself,
The impossible becomes the believable.
To be brave is to be assertive
Self-assured without a doubt
So, don’t worry about anything
Because it’s all going to work out.
To be brave is to be unfazed
While you work to achieve your ambition
Stay prepared, and trust the process
And watch your purpose come to fruition.
