A tragic death

A soul alone

Cost of Happiness

Everybody likes happiness,
But most in unhappy,
If it is a commodity,
There is a ready market,
At any cost,
Smile is the gate way of happiness,
To some!

Premium Member Freedom is the price to pay

Gilded cage feeding the illusion.
Crowned princess story but at what cost.
Happiness not in the equation.

The Cost of Love

A broken heart
A torn spirit
Shredded
Sacrificed
At the pedestal of love
Is the cost of saying
Those words - i love you

Of course it made the Mrs. quite mad
So she packed her bag
He waved the white flag
The rock she’s wearing the biggest they had..

that went through the snake’s head 
just before the eagle

Time apparently appeared to be lost,
While on flowers and ferns was frost;
Waiting there;
Us  to  share,
And nature never does have any cost.

The triplets of God  blessed free,

For all lives on this Earth,

Why a "cost of living" only for the human?

Search beyond the moon
In an hour severed from noon
From mighty stones a’neath
To get the love that liveth.

Travel Gift, At No Cost

Travel gift, at no cost
Valued the most
When as far expecting, was not
Sought aft ever.
People and their stories.
Juicy cherries!
Track, road to be laughingly eat.
Hangs each over.

Wondered What Could Be the Cost

Wondered What Could Be the Cost

We wondered what could be the cost,
Not knowing where you are and lost;
Without a sound;
None around;
Found surrounded by snow and frost.

Wonder What Could Be the Cost

Wonder What Could Be the Cost

We wonder what could be the cost,
When we had ended up being lost,
Always searching,
For love learching;
Walking through the snow and frost.

Cost of Love

If I say that hate 
Is cheap, who can believe it? 
Does love cheap to you? 

Love cost some folks in 
this world , they need to be forced
to love their neighbours.

Been free at the peril of a great cost

Living a life most people wouldn't want... 
Unlike a flashy one desired to flaunt;
Luxuries for all it contain-
Like one never been through pain. 
How been safe till time others can't dare haunt!

Real Cost

real cost
what of the pilots' girlfriends and wives? 
what were they told? 
when their aircrew partners were mia?
not from iran or russia or china but alien
missing in action but deniable
missing over the ocean…
