Lift Me Up

Lift me up, o ye winds!
Lift me up high
Lift me up, O ye winds!
And just let me fly

Take me to the summer moon
Let me feel them all
The twinkling stars, palpable clouds
Let me experience the dark night fall

Let me watch the hell breathe fire
Let me see the heaven sigh
Let me sit on a raindrop bright
Let me fly around the sky

I want to see the blue earth
Take me up to the mars
Or let me be a little fairy
For just a few hours

I want to feel the meteorites
And let me see the sun ablaze
Let me have a quick glimpse
Or let me gaze n gaze

I have the dreams
But I need wings

Lift me up, O ye winds!
Lift me up high
Lift me up, O ye winds!
And just let me fly…

The Secret Within

The lonely rose at the river bank

Swayed with the gentle breeze

Blooming on a thorny shank

Seemingly laughing at ease.

Thousands of secrets locked in its heart

Of people looking for a reason to smile

Of lovers who meet and part

Of travelers who have walked many a mile.

Of children looking at it in awe

Of poets trying to look for words

Of kids on the bank that it saw

Of hundreds of chirping little birds.

It seemed to say to the passers- by

"Just wait for a moment and spare a glance,

I give you a lesson before I die,

I smiled amidst the thorns when it was my chance.

I kept the secrets locked within

Now I am dying, my head I bow

I enjoyed the lights bright and dim

And I think, it’s your turn now."
