Love

I feel love is a source of joy,
In the darkness of life, it is unconditional affection and joy.
But I felt acutely the sufferings of humanity.
When I see the starving peasantry,
Impoverished and helpless humanity.
When I see the people in rags,
And regal splendor on the other.
Then I can't reconcile to this vulgar display of wealth,
And just can't sing soothing songs of love.
Admitted, we couldn't turn this earth into a lane of love,
We removed a few thorns at least where ever we passed.

My Life

I have desires countless, which I somehow suppress.
If I live little longer this life I find,
I have other ideas in my mind.
All joy from my heart flies,
Without some reason, nobody cries.
Thousands of desires life consuming and tough,
I had fulfilled them in plenty, but not enough.
It is ages now that we were by our friends visited,
And had the home with food and candles illuminated.
I woke up and looked my face in the mirror,
The poor mirror felt small as it saw my glamour.
