Fair for a fire fly

Everyday I peep
Through my window
Just to steal
Glances at her.
I always love
To catch a glimpse
Of her beauty
Especially
When she appears
Early in the morning
To welcome
The beginning
Of a new day
With
A broad smile!
Her smile alone
Sets the world
Aglow!
Her beauty kills
The dark night
And illuminates
The world
With golden rays.
Looking up, I see
How she burns
Like a billion
Fireflies
From heaven
Above!
Like a cluster
Of stars
Twinkling
Glittering
Like gold pieces
Scattered across
Heavens path!
A beauty she is,
Flowing
Down like a
Waterfall
Beautiful like
Paradise.
I call her
Beauty of the day,
Mother of light;
Beautiful and powerful
You can watch her.
From a million
Miles away
But you can't get
Closer.
Dare get any closer?
You turn to
Ashes.
Extremely beautiful
You can't stare
For long.
Beauty that
Blinds.
Glorious!
Gorgeous!
And mighty
Just a ray from
Her bright smile
Through the morning dew
Summons the rainbow.
Her round spherical
Face,
Oh! So adorable.
I love her,
I am in love
With nature.

DO YOU REMEMBER

Do you remember?
Do you remember the days?
When all we understood was war
And every food was eaten raw
With no body in mind to call lover
And anger boiling in our veins like larva
All that enveloped our hearts was anger
And we never felt hunger
Going into our caves like planes in a hangar
With animal skins hanging every where like a hanger
 
 
Do you remember the days?
When we were kept in exile
Like bloody traitors whose fate hung on the toss of a coin
And we grew as old as gold
Without even catching cold
From the angry cool breeze of the rising waves
Even though we slept inside caves
We had nothing flowing like taps
All we enjoyed was the palm wine we used to tap
 
 
Do you remember the days?
Where we were sold as slaves
And our arms were measured in sleeves
With an atmosphere filled with terror
Hoping for somebody to have corrected this error
So we consulted  Delphi
And all we waited for was a miracle
But our cries couldn't be heard
Making as feel like sheep with out a Shepherd
 
 
Do you remember the days?
Where we sacrificed our offsprings
To the gods as offerings
 There was nothing like Christianity
And there was no regard for humanity
We waited for an opportunity
To stop this insanity
They hated the name "Jehovah"
And they awaited reign of the so called "Hover"
But thank God these bloody days are over
Unto a new fate we hand over our body and souls
We will never see those days again
Our redemption and freedom, we have gained
We are on a new path,we are serging forward
Like a troop of soldiers matching onwards
We will never turn back
And nothing will ever move us aback
