Invictus by William Ernest Henley

A very inspiring poem...

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbow'd.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:

  I am the captain of my soul

Rain

Date: july, 14 2008

You saw the rain today
I felt it too
You never thought of me
I was dreaming of you

it was pouring heavily
you must have noticed
i was also pouring
but never did you notice

you never thought i was nice
am i not being true
then why did you brew
you found me for fire n ice

now that there is no word
of love or hate
hope is the bird
i have flying without fate

Forgive Me

Date: July 21, 2008



Forgive me
Forgive me dear
For I am a sinner
Every time you come near
I want to kiss my love to you

Forgive me
Forgive me dear
For I am sinner
Every time I touch you
I want to grip you close to me

Forgive me
Forgive me dear
For I am sinner
Every time I breathe in
I wish to breathe it on your bosom.

Forgive me
For I am sinner
Every time I look at you
I have sin in my eyes
Have done the greatest sin ever
As I have loved you every time
My sin is my love
For you
True

Please forgive me
Forgive me dear
For every time I come near
I want to kiss my love to you.

Can’t Make You Smile

Date: July, 2008
Time:


Every time you laugh
On his little Joke
Or her pretty gesture
I feel so sad
For I am so bad
Haven’t made you laugh ever
What’s a man as dull as me
Can’t make you laugh
Contrary is true though
Make you angry now n then
What’s a man as dull as me

Worthless life this is
As others find it easy
Curse me, I do that too
Jealous I am
Can’t even breathe
Leave laughter
Far too fetched
Can’t give you a
25 Ana smile
Pathetic this life is
So am I.

Say That Once More

Date: July, 2008



Would you say that
Would you say that again
My love
I know that we had troubles
And I know many of those
There where promises
I couldn’t keep
Expectations I broke
At times I was rowdy
Insensible to hurt feelings
I won’t be a trouble any more
Say that once more.

नौका यह मेरी

Date: July 21, 2008


आप की उपस्थिति से
खुशगवार हो गई
नौका ये मेरी
बिन पतवार खो गई

सच आपकी कसम
थोड़ा जीने लगे थे हम
लहरों ने जिधर धकेला
उस ओर चल दिए हम
रास्ते को भूल
देख आपको रहे थे हम


अब आप जो नहीं
सब वीरान ही तो है
दरिया के बीच
बस हम अब बचें हैं
ना आप ना किनारा
ना कहीं कोई और सहारा

फिर आपकी ही याद
ऐसे घर कर गई
कि आपकी तलाश में
हर दिन हर रात में
नौका यह मेरी
बिन पतवार चल पड़ी

मैं विद्रोही

Date: July, 2008
Time:2100


देखा फैला था अन्ध्यारा
थोड़ा सच था मैंने जाना
कमर कासी थी मैंने अपनी
अस्त्र एक, बस इक्षा शक्ति
निकल पड़ा मैं
झगड़ चला मैं
बदल रहा था ये दुनिया
ताकि आए तुझको निंदिया
छोड़ अपने तन की
तेरी ही सुधी ली
अपने पूरे दिन में
खुशी ही केवल बोई
और तुम सब कहते
मैं विद्रोही
मैं नीच, अशिष्ट
कपटी, दुराचारी

हाँ हूँ विद्रोही
हर उस काले काल का
हर उस सूने गाँव का
हर एक अज्ञानी सच का
हर एक उलझे हल का
हाँ हूँ विद्रोही
मैं विद्रोही ।

You Ask Me

Date: July, 2008
Time: 2100


You ask me
Angry
Who I am
Why I am
Why am I
In your pretty
Perfect
Sacred world
Intruding
Disrupting
Creating
Unknown Dimensions

I am a wind
Which follows you
Which can’t breathe
Sans you
Wind which wants
To make your world
Prettier still

You ask me
Who I am
Why I am
I am no intruder
Nor a passerby
I wish to
Be with you
All my life
I am a wind
Smelling sweet
Check me again
I never meant
Any harm
I Want
To make your world
Prettier still

You ask me
Who am I?
Angry still?

I am a wind
Which cannot breathe
Sans you.
