his serenity...
roiling
the stagnant waters
of his bitter past

REGRETFUL
Once more and ever sorrowful
I see the bitter past
Can I perceive tomorrow till
The dark of night has passed

With time the damned 
Take heed and heart 
Past deeds they whimper still
Conscience jams the nutter part
So says the whip-or-will

stardom of the year
on its welcoming music
ushers our new dreams

culminate great task
snog the sweet and bitter past
cool somersault starts

blow New Year's trumpets 
commence it with smiles and cheers
have a joyful year

False friends are evil than foes,
Stab soul leave wounds unkind,
My true heart God only knows,
Why good people are hard to find?

     I trust Him, keep myself moving on,
     And never let my eternal faith die,
     Bitter past is now lost and gone,
     But He knows the truth and lie.

Open the window to thy heart,
Let out the bad,
Bring in a new start.
Thy life was once so dark and grey,
And sunshine seemed so far away.
I asked the lord to help me out,
Help me to trust him,
Take out the doubts.
I ask him to help me be all i can be,
And send a few angels to look after me.
My journey is long,
Im sure it's not the last.
High hopes of deliverance,
Take away thy bitter past....

Happiness





Happiness is one heavenly bliss
Annihilate your depressive thoughts,
Paring pain of soul's silent bleeds
Pouters shun that gloomy prejudice,
Ignore miseries of the bitter past
Nevertheless you are born to cherish life,
Eventually future will be bright,
Savor His gifts of unending treasures,
Serenity will float in air till eternity !

Tears of a bitter past,
And a hopeless tomorrow,
All for joys that never last,
And a memory drowned by sorrow.

Tears of a forgotten son,
For the parents he's never known.
Afraid of what he hasn't done,
And of living all alone.

Tears of the mother
Who was left to die,
And the pain from another
Who never said goodbye.

Tears for a happy end,
That we all hope is there,
For a broken heart to never mend,
And the pain you cannot bare....

Those lofty trees
move backwards swiftly
and so are those
bitter past memories;
Uncertain of the things
that are in front
and so are hitches
about to confront;
All I can do is sit quiet
and take the ride.
Many a time I greet
the radiant dawn
and sometimes I meet
the menacing tunnel.
But it's for me to decide
whether to detest
or relish the ride.
And I opt for the latter
and so started delighting the drive
through the windows shutter...
