78. YOUR DISTANT STAR

I shall be your distant star

To guide you where ever you are

By night I am your guiding light

By day I'll shine as the sun so bright

Your distant star forever I'll be

Out of your reach you can only see

My light travels a billion years

To be your beacon from all the fears

I shall forever be where I am

As your landmark as your guiding lamp

As long as you know that I am here

You'll never lost your way, have no fear

Look up to the sky and you'll find me there

Forever twinkling like a firefly

I promise you I'll always care

Until my body's weary the day I'll die

I shall love you till the end of time

Till the suns and the stars all burnt away

Until the songs run out of rhyme

Till no man lives and nothing stay

Such is how great my love for you

It knows no bound, no wall, no creed

It even goes beyond the grave

You are the only one I'll ever need

77. DREAMS

Dreams are plays 

acted on the stage of the mind 

that commence when the curtains of one's eyes are drawn.... 

Dreams are fleeting fantasies 

on the canvas of one's hope 

with colours so vivid like butterfly wings....

Keep on dreaming for dreams give us hope

and dreaming costs us nothing

takes no space, stops at no wall..... 

Don't stop dreaming 

even when your dreams haven't come true

for when one stops dreaming, one stops living.....

76. A RAY OF HOPE

In my darkest hour the night was long

When fireflies hid and no cicada song

And the Moon refused to lend it’s light

That was the time I thought I had died

Not a single screech from the cricket heard

Nor the chirping of the nightingale bird

Not a slightest breath of the night breeze

Nor a brush of my lover’s kiss

Then came forth light, a ray from above

Breaking through the clouds like a search light

Bringing hope and bringing love

Breathing new life into the dead night

Suddenly the wind was blowing

The clouds began to clear away

I knew that was my new beginning

That God had given me another day

75. ONLY A DREAM

Let me forever be the light

At the end of your tunnel

Let me forever be the figment

Of your imagination

Let me forever be the shining star

That brightens your darkest night

Let me forever be Sun

That brightens your days

Let me forever be the Moon

That casts it’s light on the lake

Let me forever be honey on your lips

Let me forever be the wind

That whispers in your ears

Let me forever be the rain

That showers the parched earth

For I can only be the woman

Of your nightly dreams

And the rose that scents your

Lonely days……..as you are

In mine…..…..

74. NOW......

Now, when I look back

I realize how I had loved you

Much less than I should have

When all you ever wanted

Was me, just me and me only

But I was too occupied

With senseless things

To even noticed how empty

Your long days had been

When I should have been there

To love you more than I had

And I was too vain to own

To my mistakes and my flaws

Instead I shut you out

Of my life and continued

With mine as if nothing

Had happened when in fact

We were both dying for

Each other’s touch and love

Now, all I could do is regret

And wish that I could turn back

The hands of time so that

I could love you MORE

Now, I am the one dying inside
