When life gets stationary
Like a mossy stone,
When time feels like
A claustrophobic cul-de-sac,
...

'Life' is a short word,
But it means just everything;
It goes on and on.
...

The truth is firm;
It is always holy;
It does never harm,
But, is really
...

All our relationships are created
By God since our birth, but, we all
Can too make something, and that's friendship.
May our true friendship last forever!
...

None can hide your flair;
The gunpowder must catch fire
And make you shine through.
...

You began to write the history of your life
With a kind of fear;
I know not why you are so great;
O, Helen, to me, you are so dear.
...

It would have been even more splendid,
If a fountain had started to flow,
Through the titanic mountains afar,
Wrapped up with pure, white snow.
...

Constant Corona-fear
Sets us all in tears;
The dirge at us leers;
O, hear, O, hear,
...

The shower of sapless leaves,
Dancing in the midst of them,
My deep despair do they cleave;
I'm never more the same.
...

...

The more you write,
The more 'exact' you will be;
The more you fight,
The more challenged you will be.
...

In the midst of a thousand works,

Full of empty and juggling jerks,
...

...

I burn midnight oil;
All day do I toil;
Yet, don't get success;
Life is full of mess;
...

Like a newborn babe
Girdled by
A colony of ants,
Like a bird in
...

...

My heart gnaws me down,
Shattering my all to the ground.
Human nature is treacherous,
Hindering in keeping promises;
...

I truly get dumbfounded
To look back at the days I had once,
And to get them back again,
I will not be given any chance.
...

You attribute poetic beauty
To humble things of Nature;
Your ballads always mesmerise me,
And advise me to love every living creature.
...

The cosmic order comprises
Harmony among all things:
Nature, and man, and virtues.
Yes, our virtues hold us
...
