No Room

The smiling moon
The twinkling stars
Will join us soon
To remember the birth of Christ

He came as a promise
He came for a purpose
His target, he didn't miss
Giving all a love pose

Formed with holy words
But Needed a ward
No one gave him a chance
A chance to have their lives enhanced 

Who will guard him?
Don't sing it as a hymn
Your heart has been his aim
Unworthy I am! Is our claim

Was Mary worthy?, Or favored?
According to thy word, Be it unto me
Her womb filled with holy words; Savoured
She meant "Take room in me"

What do you say?

TAKE room in MY heart
Or NO ROOM?

He came to fill us with God's words
Jesus the word made flesh
Merry Christmas to you all!!!

We Are More

Let's not wait for tomorrow
When we have lot of hours today
Let's not miss yesterday
Breathing in lot of sorrows

Heroes will always pass
Records will always crash
Those on a mission
Are the only ones with the vision

To others, you're blind
Sometimes you feel left behind
Your plan
Might have nowhere to land

But purpose
Always pose
And stare
At you till you're stirred

If your craft doesn't make you cry
Then your tears are an eyewash
Why wait when you can try and retry
Maybe all you need is a brainwash

Not everyone had to sleep to have a dream
Not everyone needed eyes to see
But we all want everything to hear us when we arrive, knowing that all things hear even the deaf

It's okay to cry
But don't faint
Let's try and retry and never stop
WE ARE MORE THAN WE THINK WE ARE.

- Micgray

DON'T LIVE FOR THE RECORDS OR THE FAME
MEET WITH PURPOSE DEAR.

Prey

One word with several meanings
One word with several yearnings
Your choice, determines your earnings

Not the choice of hunting
Or being the haunted
However, it's a choice of what's learnt

I've been both
In two separate boats
But accompanied with the same oath

This is not about being religious
It's not about being just
Because in both shoes, I've prayed for the miraculous

Tempted by the devil
Visited by evil
Though I am not an angel, I knew I had to be an easel

A platform for an art
A drawing out of good hearts
An act not for me alone but to impart

The prey prays
Even those that prey
Hope for a way

Whether you're the predator
Or the reactor
Know this, in your story, dead or alive you'll always be the actor

In the food chain
Everyone is in chains
It is only when you break yours that you'll truly gain

- Micgray

YOUR STORY IS A LESSON FOR OTHERS
NOT A PRODUCTION OF WEALTH FOR SELF
THE CHAINS ARE OUR GREED

Sweet Mistake

I fell
Now she'll tell
Whenever they ring her bell

I thought it was just a fling
Then after I could sing
But I smell from afar a sting

What have I done?
Now I can't even long
For the next dawn

I tried to meditate 
My uncertain state
Oh! I wish I didn't meet miss mistake 

Something happened from nowhere 
I said to my myself "I am already here"
What if I try to escape this fear

I sat upright
Knowing my place was tight
That I needed space to make things right 

How could one make 
A mistake and change it to a stake
Life is all about the bet you take. (Right?)

I remembered her touch
Truly It didn't hurt
She only put a flame on my torch

The fear had put the fire out
The guilt created doubts 
For miss mistake and her mouth

I went to meet her again 
At least there's a gain
But I realized later that the more the gain, the more the pain
                                       -MICGRAY

Mistakes are not for pleasure 
but for learning
