Song of Joy

Today I'll wait for Sun to set
For the day hours to fly,
Today I'll role back lonely waves
As a loved one comes neigh.

Tonight the stars will brighter burn
And the moon will gladly smile,
Today my heart will sing a song
As a loved one comes neigh.

Time was slow, it crept, it crawled
Like a babe about to ply,
And in my heart I yearned, I longed
For my loved one to come by.

And when I hold my loved one close
When heart to heart will cry,
Sadness of the past will melt
As my loved one comes neigh.

Death of Mountain

O Ye Mountains standing tall
Head held high while eons pass
You feel not humanity's pain
Your innards so hard and harsh.

I see the winds bang their heads
'Gainst your rocky breast:
I see the snows sweep in gales
Chilling your face in vain:

Unmoved, un-moving you stand,
Nor warmth, nor rage cross
Your far stretched lands
Challenge to Time's flux.

None your own, none to call thine
Like man-created monoliths
That guard heritage to sustain
All progress made thru' ages

So hard to move, harderto bow;
Proud, erect withstanding blows till
Onslaughts unbound bring you
Crashing to the ground.

Wedded

And then came love-

Tripping on pretty feet

Dainty and soft; enticing

Beguiling, bewitching dance

Till hearts fell at her feet:

And her rhythm’s crescendos

Whirling wildly spinning

Out of control.

O! The fall

That brought down edifices,

Once proud heads

Now biting dust,

No more revered. No more courted,

Wedded to dead life.
