In Rest Forever
Sleep my little heart sleep,
And please do not wake up.
Let the pain in you leave,
The pain of love, unbearable.
Sleep my little heart sleep,
Better do not wake up,
For you can never love anyone.
Now or then, never again.
Now, let the pain in you leave,
Sleep and rest forever.

Heart-Bled
My friends are not my friends,
Not my friends anymore.
Betrayed, back-stabbed and grave-dug,
I stand heart-bled.
I see few in pleasure,
Drinking my blood for wine,
And they make merry,
Before my eyes.
What have I to say?
Nothing, but thanks.
Thanks to Him,
For portraying, who my,
So-called friends were.
Thanks be to Him.

Thanks Be To Him
To Him, who I have not seen,
But whose words I have heard,
And touch I have felt,
A heart full of thanks.
I stood amidst the ocean,
With heavy wind and violent waves.
There came His voice,
And then His touch,
Like a plank of wood,
To a sinking man.
A simple word of thanks,
Is not all enough,
But now take this,
Thanks a lot, Thank you.

Lighted
Great books call on us, to tell,
The reason of all ill fate,
Is only the burning desire.
Now I strongly ask,
Who does not have?
With time I answered it.
From common man,
To the Lord above,
All are lighted with fire,
The fire of desire.
If not, why is the earth?
And why is life in it?
Is it this fire, that,
Moves the earth and life?
Yes, so burn with fire,
The fire of desire.

Marriage & Love
Love spoke to marriage,
“It is I who come first.”
For which marriage replied,
“It is for me you come.”
Arguments arose and words clashed.
Both who were one with another,
Split away and, the result,
No love ended in marriage,
And all marriages broke.
At last, He the Maker spoke,
“Love, you are My happening.
Marriage, you are My new beginning.
Without the other you shan’t survive.”
And then on, they walked hand-in hand.
