A man on a mission
Needs a woman with vision
Not looks, beauty without brain.
You can't see what's ahead
If you got a blurry vision
To accomplish this mission
You need a queen because you're a king.
You can do all you can
But you can never break
What can't be broken
You can apply all pressure
But can never bend
What can't be bent
Always be prepare for the unknown.
I'm not the people's person
I'm a person of purpose
A leader doesn't pleases anyone
But his purpose, why he emerge
Being a leader isn't about making easy decisions
It's about making the smart ones.

That man alone seems charming,
Who a fancied lass finds fascinating,
That poem is a piece of art
That captivates a reader’s heart.

Translation |12.01.2025| man, woman, poem
Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhashhitam. Which man can be called truly charming? As per this shloka, he who’s found attractive to a woman, to whom a woman is drawn. Okay, what type of poem abducts a reader’s heart? That which is found interesting to a reader who knows poetry; forget all the critics. The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows:
Ramanieeya sah hi purushhah,
ramanee yatra eva rajyate vidagdhaa |
Shlokah sah eva su-bhagah-chittam,
saktam hee yatra rasikasya || 217 ||

Faith is the transformative power of the universe
Faith breeds trust and complete dependence
Trust brings contentment
Contentment measures level of success
No one is perfect
God does not seek to use perfect beings
To work in His vineyard
It is only faith that pleases God
This is time to march for God
It is also time to march with God
Cause the devil is on the prowl
Seeking to connect us to himself through our weaknesses
Let the power of God fall upon men of goodwill
Like on the day of Pentecost
To make them available
Cause to know God’s presence is to know His power

you are so fair
a banner over me
my perfect one
who o'erwhelms me
my pure one
a sealed spring
how fair how sweet
so fragrant filled
with love
love
until it pleases
&shadows flee
a heart rejoicing
such fearsome fire
quenched
in swoons of love
my lover is mine
a delight-filled choice
let me hear
those lips speak
love until it pleases
thus I find peace
&know myself

D-rawing back pleases not God,
H-e will surely be dismayed;
A-im at what lies ahead,
N-ever let your true faith fade.
F-alling back pleases not God,
E-arly thirteenth of September;
D-on't let your hope dwindle,
E-ven during vile weather.
R-emain firm and steady,
I-n spite of the odd;
S-tay focused on your goal, drawing back pleases not God.

People pleases
Generally as a rule live unfulfilled lives
Because they live in service to apeas others
People who please themselves
Are generally happy
Because
They don't care about the welfare others
Merely what they can do for them

C-reated acrostic pleases you,
E-arly Wednesday twelfth April;
C-omforting phrase within
I-s causing a thousand thrill.
L-et an acrostic please you, on the day of your birth;
L-et the morning message bring a million mirth.

U-se the words so true;
L-et your name give the meaning,
O-ne acrostic pleases
Y-ou.
