HOPE
The world rests on hopes and expectations
Homosapiens have been growing in the true relations
Where there is no hope and desire at all
Living organisms convert into rocks and dissertations
Hope can raise you from the dirty mud
Hope can bloom flower from a tiny bud
Hope and faith are the powerful luck
Which brings crown to king diamond stud
If you are in trouble and in stress
Don’t stop achieving your progress
Hopes and despair are natural phenomena
Like sun and shadow never regress
Among fires, smokes and smells of burning flesh
Humanity has lost dignity between ego clash
Let’s HOPE, God will restore the peace
When civilians are dying, PRESS unable to flash
MY LOVE FOR YOU
So intensively,
I have been craving for
The wine of your lips
The bowls of your eyes
Your black curly hairs
The lake of your blue eyes
Whenever,
You will look rather attentively into
The mirror
You will find me at
Your face-to-face
Each impression of my staring
will see stuck on
At your entity
Your lips and cheeks
When my face appears at your face
The concealed secret of the heart will be revealed at everyone
How will you possess yourself in the new situation
Can you adapt yourself in it?
TRAVELLING FOR KNOWLEDGE
When we travel far, we observe lots of things
Like a highflying kite, which is tied with strings
This was a way to be healthy, wealthy and wise
People sleep early to travel long, and early rise
In ancient times, the knowledge was not bookish
Wise man travels day and night, unlike a sluggish
Ibn Battuta, Vasco D Gama and famous Gulliver
All were sources of knowledge, all were traveler
Travelling has been fascinating to me by trains
I enjoy watching moving rivers, hills and plains
Travelling with all family members is like a boon
Go on summer vacation and return in monsoon
Travelling teaches us to take care of each other
It develops team spirits, sense of love and care
Life is also a long journey full of joy and sorrow
Do it now, if you wish;
who has seen tomorrow
