Wet Puppy
Too young for love to have known
Yet pleasures to him have shown
First time, passion in vein has flown
His once innocent mind overblown
Why can they all not understand
Besides her, he will always stand
All rules, family, and gang disband
Follow only her sweet command
His fat purse, to her, he handed over
Not enough, expenses he has to cover
Stole for her avarice, he went further
Lies and disrespect, with her hover
Hurting the ones who truly cares
Reject all the advises anyone shares
Insulting remarks, to put on his airs
Disappointments of his new self bears
Ah! such a lose of a great child
Puppy love has made him so wild
Wet behind ears, no words mind filed
Deaf he became to discipline mild
And all that’s left in his parent’s mind
When will he, the enlightenment find
So Much Better
It is better to have a dream born
Than lived in ignorance of mourn
A dream that purity in heart sworn
Yet the limits of reality did not scorn
It is better a river crossing a desert
Than remained forever pond inert
Heart and soul in journey’s risk exert
Travelled routes though not expert
It is better to be a moon in the night
In darkness the only source of light
Though sky may overwhelm it tight
Who else’s seen such beautiful sight
It is better to be a childish dreamer
When all desires in the night gather
In midst of storm a warmth for cover
Dreams where one’s Hope can hover
Counted be as a naive heart’s illusion
Speechless be one before such vision
A heart filled with love and devotion
Living water revitalizes one’s mission
