WINGS OF LIBERTY!
WINGS OF LIBERTY!
Softly but gently surges my mind,
Into the un-riddled world of emotion;
Sets me gracefully with uncontrollable notion,
Afar, it drifts to my dreamy land of ecstasy!
Infancy made me quite sober and mild; though
I got groomed by, the compassionate hands of care!
Childhood swung me into the enviable wheel of motion,
And I could toddle around within my physical boundaries.
Boyhood gave me the unfurling freedom of thoughts,
But couldn’t ponder and fly into my infinite world of dreams;
Manhood provided me the wings of liberty that I could stretch; but
I just flew away breaking all moral shackles to reach unseen lands.
What I couldn’t experience in childhood and boyhood,
As a grown up man, I came to be aware of; but got spilled over.
A heavily laden life-package with quite a few likes but with too many dislikes;
What unfolds and emerges in mind after all this is; life’s last riddle of life after death!
The Sailor
They say the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
But you know that I hate to leave you like this
I know that you need me, and you I will miss
But the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
I have to go to become worthy of you
And I don’t know what else to do
But if you’ll wait for me, I think you will find
That fairytales happen, so never you mind
You look so beautiful, please don’t you cry
I will come back; now leaving is nigh
You have to let go of me now my dear
But I’ll come back before another year
Know that I kiss you every night
Sweet, loving dreams make life alright
Yes although you have to let me go
I’ll come straight back to your arms, I know
I’ll be waiting, and wishing till I see you, and then
I’ll hold you and never let go again
But I have to go, and soon you will see
A man where a boy used to be
Who’ll be able to take care of you for all of our days
And who’ll never leave you, together always.
