IT'S NOW OR NEVER

 IT'S NOW OR NEVER

Sometimes, I'm afraid to speak in English.

I'm scared to use the language.

I feel conscious and uneasy.

Thinking of what the people may say.

If I violate the English rules,

If I fail to use the language proficiently

If my grammar, isn't correct

If I don't know the proper punctuation

If I'm wrong in picking up the appropriate tenses

If my verse is lacking figurative speech

And many more violations

That against the language regulations.

Some will laugh

Some will raise an eyebrow

Some will look down on me

Some will insult or mock me 

Some will simply ignore 

And some will tell, 

and let me know my errors.

So, I can correct.

How will I learn,

if I won't let go of my fear?

How will I improve, 

if I'm not going to face the difficulty?

I never want to lose a battle, 

without any attempt to fight

I don't easily give up,

on things without trying.

It's now or never

Win or lose

At least I tried,

and I did my best.

Endearing

 Endearing

Endearing how you fear to hold

Never treated quite right I'm told

I'll treasure you like precious gold

and we'd feel young as we grow old

and that would be endearing.

Endearing is my word for you

Your smile makes this world new

I dream we start... and I hope soon we do...

Like no love before we knew

It would surely be endearing!

Endearing how you're sometimes shy

So happy then you almost cry

So strong yet sometimes fear to try...

Can't figure you out and I know not why...

and yet you are endearing

Endearing in everything you do

You still believe in dreams come true...

Lost people find thier God in you...

And I love the way you see things new...

and you are indeed... endearing

I’d wait a life time for one chance with you

Than settle for a love less true

There’s nothing you need say or do

You are endearing and I love you.

You know, I know, it's up to you

Because a love enduring still takes two.

It feels so good when I'm with you.

I believe you are my dream come true

that's why you are endearing.

IMPERFECTIONS

 IMPERFECTIONS

Nothing or nobody born with perfection

The Almighty is the only exception

Surrender of imperfection leads to divinity

Work with devotion can bring eternity.

Lack of comprehension, lack of loyalty

Very often the cause of failure and frailty.

Some imperfection comes closer to perfection

Through the path of patience, perseverance and rectification.

All imperfections need to be revised, remoulded, mended

Only imperfections get a chance to be refined, reformed

Like a piece of gold sparkles forever in the end we must comprehend

Becomes the legandry instance in the annals of mankind in hand

No perfection without imperfection a naked truth to accept

As there's no rising without falling nobody can ignore the concept

Admittance of own imperfections remains above all suspect

Rightly one said, 'advice is better than precept' we have to expect.

Imperfection like childhood seeks a place, person and time

Caring, and dairing to share undoubtedly attracts like a rhyme

Suppressing imperfection like germinating seed to grow a poison tree

Before bearing the fruits better to fell the tree to be fair and free

PAIN

 

Pain .. 

Pain comes in many types and forms you see ...

Ailing with fever, hurting with searing knifelike stabs

Imagine having your heart tore to shreds by a beast

Needing drs to fix the broken pieces that once was thee. 

Pain comes in many types and forms you see ...

Acknowledging a sore (Cancer) inside eating you alive 

Indescribable unprecedented searing punches and stabs

Needing pills - the immense pain and hurt must flee ... 

Pain comes in many types and forms you see ...

A throbbing, gnawing, sharp toothed beast biting you

Imagine falling into the flames of hell - your skin melting off

Needing an IV filled with fluid, medicine to appease the beast. 

Pain comes in many types and forms you see ...

Ailments unnoticeable ... Inside burried deep, an organ or two.

Indescribable fear of hurting so bad and yet wating to live ...

Nothing compared to a problem no one can see it will repeat .. 

Pain comes in many types and forms you see ...

Another Dr, Another Pill, Another Shot, Another Day ...

Impenetrable beast, they say. It won't go away, it's here to stay

Nothing will fix this monster - you must live with it in thee.

P

      I

It won't go away. It is here to stay. Live with it they Say. PAIN!
