LONESOME TRAILS
Trails of a long lonesome journey,
Still has memoirs, leaving imprints behind.
Ensuing the winding path,
through avalanche and gorge far and wide,
a lone traveller seeking solace,
betwixt the expanse of the world.
The wind muttered secrets,
carrying echoes of buried tales,
each step leaving an ineffaceable mark,
embossed upon the tapestry of time.
Through thick forests of ambiguity,
and deserts of unanswered questions,
In search of meaning and understanding,
I walked.
Imprints left behind tell stories of grit and brawn,
Of battles fought and victories won,
Of losses grieved and lessons learned.
But as I look back on the path,
Traced by the soles of my weary feet,
I realize it was never about the destination,
But the journey that transformed my soul.
The imprints may fade with time,
But the memories will linger on,
For each step taken on that long lonesome road,
Shaped the person I am.
I hold close the paths I’ve journeyed,
With their peaks and valleys intertwined,
For they are more than mere imprints left,
Oh, they paint the essence of a life refined.

The Only Star For Me
Only One Star For Me !
Me dedicated to thee.
Only Star and that is you
in prominent view,
in my heart to glisten
on every pulse to listen.
One star since consciousness:
My supreme happiness.
Scintillating sparkling to inspire
Enchanter Emperor in my empire.
An ineffable emotive urge
oozing up rushing on surge.
Simply to surprise !
Nothing to surmise.
An ineffaceable passion
reckoned by introspection.
Dormant desires to unravel :
Your glance to guide and marvel.

LOVELINESS
Lovely smile glisten on your face , cheerful, frolic.
Overwhelming deep dimple sinks in left cheek.
Valentine of my Heart, I would like to kiss.
Engrossed in your charm : You are my best bliss.
Looking into your dreamy eyes I sense your love.
Ineffaceable passion, I dedicate to you and keep reserved.
Nervy nature of yours is your unique personality
Enchanting ecstatic elegance is supreme quality.
Sweet Heart, you possess the sweetest heart.
Sacred sublime soul ! I won’t leave you apart.

An attack of this magnitude
was completely unforeseeable;
and who thought that an unguarded city
had to feel that sense of solitude...
through an urealistic exodus so undiscernible,
and later reclaim its struck territory!
What we lost...is not the superb Twin Towers:
the pride of the wealthiest nation on earth,
towers that can be rebuilt in years;
it's those lives that enmity cut short!
And they tried to disorientate us,
and disrupt our ingenuous and lively living
by spreading unrest and choas
with absurd and infernal thinking!
This infamy is so ineffaceable
from the mind of the unfoolish,
fair and reasoning man with greater intellect...
that it becomes so inexplicable;
a shameful act not condoned by civilization,
confirmed by unsympathetic sentiments!
What we lost ...is truly irreplaceable
by every imaginable remedy:
its the worth, the comfort and the unbroken joy,
which dazzled in the NewYorkers' eyes...
making their days so livable!
What we lost...is eternally
carved out into those shining stones:
bearing glorious names to withstand time itself1
