Sunshine

Once in the lonely path of life,

There was darkness all around.

Then came the pleasant sunshine

That lighted the lamps of love...

The sunshine was much radiant,
And had different shades in it.
It spread it's coolest shadow
Over the burning charms of life...

Like a veritable storm, it elevates me
To the thriving heavens of love.
And, like the soothing dewdrops,
The sunshine soaks me in passion...

Deep in my mind, I always wondered
What this marvelous sunshine is!
But now I know, the sunshine is
The unlimited sea of pure knowledge...

Whispering Echoes

In the forlorn valley of my soul 

Echoes a whisper of broken heart...

Waking the memories of the past

Muddling my mind in its prowl...

Eons had swept by without a glance

But never had I ever dared to dream...

The moments have lost all their gleam

Yet I was wandering in a trance...

I hummed along with the music of love

I gazed in the charming eyes of zest...

The bemusing requisite of the best

Makes me yearn for Pandora's Cove...
