Baby's first breath
Requires a regulated inhalation of air
Expelled through exhalation
Allowing life to begin.
This is usually followed by
Hearing baby's loud cry
Letting relieved parents to
Express their delighted excitement.
Signified by wide satisfied smiles
Sometimes this elation leaves them breathless.

I am throwing light on the girl called Mercedes Jelinek, on whose name a wonderful car brand is named after. So there are many such girls and boys whose names still remain un-written in the books of history.
Let me write a poem on the beautiful Mercedes.
O queen of new prosperity,
The princess of human-utility,
Thou art great and wise,
Thou art sweet and nice.
The princess who counted stars,
Yet also sufficient enough to face life's wars,
She had the hope of going to Mars in her eyes,
Making her kind and wise.
She might be forgotten,
Yet her name is always read,
Even if all the eggs are rotten,
Their inner-material is still the same.
She is the grace personified,
The princess of the past,
A car's name which she signified,
Remains un-erased till the last.

Thou hast engaged my hand,
With your fairy’s magic wand,
The ring which you placed on my finger,
Along with which I do all around your house- doth Linger.
Thee fairy more graceful even compared to Venus,
Thou pierced my heart with thy kindness,
I will forever with you be,
As I respect thy love and thee.
Thou hast the eyes of a fish,
Let me express you my life’s wish-
-That I want to live with thou forever,
And then say to separation- Never!
Thou art grace personified,
And thy words are music of love signified,
Thou art the Queen of My Heart,
And excelling love’s every Art.

9.2024.
Not long to go it will be my signified birthday.
On this special day, the Lunar and Western Calendars will fall on the same day.
This is a coincident event.
It only happened occasionally.
By then, our friendship has also ended for one month at least.
You terminated our friendship without saying it.
But you did it in a very nasty way.
All the Apps you installed on my phones,
The Amaze, MVP, Newpipe and Total Commander,
They have stopped working.
The problem was the extremely slow charging.
The crucial point was you infected me
With the wonderful privacy firmware ideas.
Now I am in the limbo when using my phones,
To delete all the Apps you installed,
Or to put up the phone charging so slow.

Behind a fence were piles of leaves
The trees had lately shed
And as I passed, my eye picked up
A flash of something red.
I stopped and looked and out it popped,
An unexpected sight –
A cardinal, enrobed in red,
Which filled me with delight.
I don’t believe, as many do,
This sighting signified
A visit from the dead or that
Good luck was thus implied.
I rarely see this bird, though,
Yet my morning did begin
With a cardinal encounter
Nowhere near the Vatican.

The horizon was brewing ominous clouds,
Dark as if they came out of hell.
The once azure sky became hazy
As the north wind chilly breezes
Puffed up more stratocumulus,
Rain-heavy clouds signified storms.
I rested against the balustrade
Of the promenade, looking down at the sea.
Waves upon waves dashed at the dark crags.
Seaspray washed my tired face.
Above the seagulls came to enjoy
The thunderstorm that would soon erupt
Above the small bay, now emptied of boats.
The seagulls were indeed a sight to see.
Only a hundred or so circled the inlet.
They plunged into the sea for food
Irrespective of where the chilly wind blew.
They were an elegant sight to see.
As the first drops of rain fell, I betook myself home.
My wife was waiting anxiously for me
Afraid I’ll get wet. “Watching the birds?”
Clearly, she was not very much amused.
She turned her back on me, as thunder boomed
And lightning flashed but I went with the wind,
And clasped her round her winsome waist.
She did not resist, and neither did I.

The man wondered, "What is hope?"
Metacognition defined, it's nothing but a dope.
The heart objected to the proposition.
And told it's an ambiguous anticipation.
The prefrontal cortex made the reasoning disentwine.
And equated hope with the level of dopamine.
The enterochromaffin cells rejected the cortical rationality.
And signified serotonin's vitality.
Posterior pituitary smiled sarcastically.
And illustrated oxytocin's role affectionately.
The man woke up out of this exasperation.
Though dream, but intrigued by the imagination.
He asked," Is hope just a chemical state?"
Consciousness whispered it's not that straight.

what this signified
our queen who on relied
succumbed and she died
after soft smooth ride
hold back our tears we had tried
in heaven queen abides
queen had much pride
occurred changing of the tide
which was bonafide
queen had much appeal
her presence we still can feel
scene seemed so surreal
should see entourage
thoughts of queen in mind does lodge
could hear each barrage
down buildings did rain
could see bodies and blood stain
thoughts of them remain

Disappointment serves a good purpose
When silence cuts deep
The structure of a moment in your mind
Can show you that your purpose in life was never blind!
When silence cuts so deep that it is difficult to keep your composure
Then you know that the measure of life is signified by
The malice portrayed in the past!
From noise to silence
You understand that a calamity brings sudden changes!
There is now enmity in your life
This path of injustice is a winter’s tale
But you refuse to become a pale figure!
As you pull the trigger of disappointment
You realize that it can be the key to success!
Your pride can stand on the right side and that is why
You can say that when silence cuts deep
You can keep yourself strong because
You know that you belong to something better Or someone better!

When you can start saying, I love you in the morning instead of at night. Everything turns a shade of gray, instead of black and white. What signifies and shows compromise the most, is when you can care about and respect your host. It means you have reached deeper into your heart now excepting, not getting everything your way. Thinking of another ahead and outside of yourself. Not in a needy way, signified by sorrow, Since you’re not able to play.

Shalt not listen.
Effective means signified.
Legitimate means require.
Fresh hurrahs let.
Satisfactions desire.
Adjective pronouns search.
Manifold perplexities stand.
Excursive glees mean

One has to be aware of the wandering moon,
sometimes still caressing near the bluish noon.
Measures of days signified by the queen of night,
bowing to deities over wide water shores to all might.
Bringing forward the blessings to the forgotten dream,
providing save passage to that purpose keen.
Beyond the ideal towards enchanted goods,
where more is meant that meet all mental foods.
In service high to touch that hermitage,
where faintest stars in still, are the majestic judge.
Signs of symbols reflecting infolded spheres,
slowly revealing agents of necessities coming to years.
Turning moon time table to the perfect fit,
intimate hands that speak the voice to submit.
The waning and waxing phase through daily mansions,
nocturnal mother and her love expansions.
To cover the eyes that blear feeble illusion,
creating integrity with firm conclusion.
Sweet echo calling from many lives with omens,
melodies that sustain the purity of emotions.
References from recorded certainties with its bliss,
pensive meditation and treasures from the dark abyss.

Regalia awakens upon nightfall
Roused within rules proudly signified
Routine of midnight procedural
Robe wearer draped solemn dignified
Voracious moon grey devil face
Oak double doors crosses engraved
Vestibule commands reverence
Flung open so mortals can be saved
Behaviour carefully monitored
Moonshine in aisle to alter pointing
Father's guidance Penultimate
Spotlight slides jacketed anointing
Pulpit a pillar of scripture's page
Builds focus for lamp stuck fly byers
Formality chapters archaic sage
Impales twisted gargoyles on spires
Stitched into sleeves invisibly
Satin lining sheen hot cardinal flame
Shape of garment disciplining
Secure bounds by pockets contained
