Me; A Flightless Bird

I wander like a flightless bird

That once knew to fly and now couldn’t.

Wings not clipped but yet I can’t

Webbed feet but yet I drown

My flock with me yet I alone

Migration for me every breath I take

Thoughts of me hatched a mistake

To life and life, itself

There is a lot for me at stake

For everyone proud, I want to make

Those that cared and even forsake

Me into a worthless, lifeless, flightless bird.

Will I ever fly again ME; a flightless bird

Soar high up in the sky above from self-demur

I'm not all this world needs

I'm not all this world needs 

I'm not all this world needs 

Or is it just to say that I'm not at all needed 

with a purpose left to live 

and the purpose becomes lifeless 

with no one to love or care 

to be loved or to be cared for 

this life i live is not what i need 

this life i live is not what I've asked for 

this life i live is not for anyone to live 

i silently want this life of mine to be over

if the life I want isn't mine 

i don't want to live a life some else planned for me 

a life of suffering , misery , agony and all the synonyms 

of the word pain in its worst form of life 

just dwell deep within me 

others are so blinded that they cant see 

this life of mine i don't need 

for I am not all this world needs 

and I am not needed in this world .

Two painful Love Stories can never be the same.

This love I bore 

Not to weep and sore 

But to last a lifetime and bring forth

My offspring and future generation 

But instead a one so loved 

Has been lost and gone 

And a feeling in me 

As if the living life 

Is as lifeless as can be 

No words to describe the

Love story that God has written for me 

For I do not deserve this 

Nor does any helpless or lovelost do 

For I so loved a girl 

And can pledge with all my heart 

That I truly did 

I doubt the same back from her 

She very well dupled in love 

What's strange is all in a short span 

She managed to treble love 

And marry the third 

If this is the way my love story to be said

Of how I Morn and bleed 

Let this not be written in anyone's life again

For two painful Love Stories 

can never be the same .

Fear the Dark and not the day

Why do we fear the dark and not the day ?

When the day is filled 

With more terrors than the dark

Imagine the worst that's happened to you 

its all just happened mostly in the day .

The best things sometimes happens during the night 

especially when we sleep and dream 

can the day be peaceful like the night 

Or can all the worries of day last 

throughout the night 

The night is peaceful and silent 

causes less trouble and worry than the day 

so why do we fear the dark and not the day ?

Make what you want of my words

Make what you want of my words

Of which I have said in my past 

Or talking to you at present 

Of what I am to speak to you in the future 

But just remember maketh quick 

For all the words that I speak off 

Will soon be just words from my past 

When I am gone far away 

Where no words will you hear 

For I will not be able to say so 

Make what you want of my words 

Maketh quick , maketh wise 

For when I am gone nothing I said 

Should come as a surprise .

The Night

The Night 

The Night is dark and slient 

Full of brightness and whispers.

If one can hear the sounds of the night

Especially the ones that sound 

Aloud and alarming during the day.

One would know what essence of magic 

The night has brought to us 

We talk but in whispers,

We walk but tippy toe ,

We see what we imagine fear ,

We pray more and forget less

To remember the ones we love then

That's the real beauty of the night.

The way closer to God

If god is by myside 

And I can't see him 

If god is talking to me

And I can't hear him 

If I can can't really talk 

To god with the tongue 

That I have been given .

Then how will a blind person

See him 

Then how will a deaf person

Hear him 

And how will a dumb person 

Ever be able to talk to god 

And if they really can then 

I wish I was blind , deaf and dumb 

For I really want to talk to god 

And the life and way I am living

It just seems impossible to do so 

And really easy when blind,deaf and dumb .

For I feel they are far more Favouried 

In the eyes of god than I am .

They can't see the things 

That we see to be wrong 

They say words that we say 

To cause problems and worries

They can't hear things to pass on 

Like us and cause problems and worries

So I rather live like a born Favoured one 

Rather than the born unfavourable one.

Rainbow rainbow in the sky.

Rainbow rainbow in the sky 

Thy apperance I know why 

I even know for When and for what .

So high up in the bright blue sky 

Thy seven colours of thee underlie .

Thy colours remembered best 

By the Word; VIBGYOR

A view so beautiful never seen 

As that of a rainbow in the sky 

Especially after some heavy showers 

Every age Group says with joy 

Rainbow rainbow in the sky .

What aren't you always in the sky ?

Death draws Near

If death draws Near

Have no self smear of fear 

For fear can make you death cold.

But instead embrace it 

And accept is as life and death

Both are a certain

But they are Unbeknown to all

Prepare yourself to embrace 

And Consent death for its uncertainty

Is always an element or sorry, grief 

And element of surprise for life 

So when death draws Near 

have no self smear of fear.

Time heals all wounds

If you are physically hurt

And bear a temperament pain 

That Cause strain and agony ,

Scars and disabilities may follow

Medicine may be temporary 

But it's time and time alone

That will heal all wounds.

If you're mentally disquieted

You accept to be cured apace 

For patience and undergone will Follow

To test you in your worst 

Like there is no tomorrow 

For you in this world 

But just remember to 

Pass each by being efficacious

As you believe and make others do 

That time and time alone

Can heals all wounds.

A ball of life

Earth is a big ball of life 

That belongs to life itself.

The Qualities of life are Brio

It will always restore itself

And make life possible 

When it's feels there is threat 

To life in itself .

One life leads to another. 

One life depends on another .

And life alone can bring life.

That is the universal truth of life.

Life cannot be lifeless 

Or exist in a lifeless entity

So, earth is big ball of life 

So be viable when upon it .

prehensile

For all the prehensile of this world

This poem is for you and you alone 

Make no mistake in understanding 

That every word of it is for you 

Read it once , read it twice 

Or read is as many a times you like 

Till you understand it right 

You can never own the things you have 

You can justify it for all you like 

But it's you a prehensile 

That is a mere bane to millions 

Of life upon this Earth 

Be not what you are 

Don't be a prehensile and try to ameliorate

This world cause you're just blinded 

By you're self at all times 

To see that what you have is yours 

As long as you have life .

Once lifeless All you have is inutile

Understand the value of life 

Do not be a prehensile 

It's injustice to you life and life itself.

By 

   David T Nicholas

To life and life alone

This world is not yours .

Neither is this world mine .

This world is yours 

As long as have life in you .

This world is mine 

As long as I have life in me .

Once the life we have in us is gone 

So is the ain of life 

That is the life we owned 

Comes to an end.

Life is rich as long as you have it ,

Once gone it all remains 

For the ones who have life in them 

So this world neither 

belongs to you or me 

It belongs to life and life alone .

  David T Nicholas

Memories

If today is gone 

It will never come back 

But the memories 

We make today

Can be the memories

We have for life 

So make them count 

Decide what are the memories 

That you want to have

For the rest of your life.

Thee deeds that you do today

Irrespective good or bad

Will definitely come back to you 

If you couldn't make a difference 

In the world yesterday 

Try to make it today 

So you'll be remembered tomorrow 

Life is collection of memories

Of yesterday and today for tomorrow

If you're wise you'll understand 

If not , time will speak for itself.

   David T Nicholas

Priceless

There are alot of things in this world 

That are priceless to you and me 

But there are things

That are priceless for everyone

A mother's love 

A father's care 

A protective brother 

A sister's affection 

The bond of friendship 

The togetherness of a family 

When you're loved one 

Stands up for you against the world

The warmth of a blanket 

The hand that feeds us 

The early morning sun 

The quiet and peaceful moon 

A good day's work 

A good night's sleep 

God's blessings and love 

And the thought

That God is watching us Always 

These are really priceless 

If you experienced it you will agree 

There is no harm in you disagreeing 

Because life is never the same For us all

we all have the right 

To believe in what's priceless 

For us and what's not .

   David T Nicholas

 

Difficult things to say

Some things are really difficult to say 

As the things I say below 

Weather the night is beautiful or the day 

Is the sun more useful than the moon 

Is life really better than afterlife 

If love is a cure for all emotions 

Or if laughter is really the best medicine 

Is god always watching us 

Does he really care about anyone

Living creature upon this Earth 

Or is mankind left to fend for themselves

The surety of the beginning and end of life .

These are difficult things to say 

You may or may not think my way 

Maybe when you're wise enough 

You know that these are things 

That matter to us in life 

And these are really difficult things to say .

David T Nicholas

Circle of Life

The circle of life 

It has no beginning and end .

No one know how it began 

No one knows how it will end. 

But it's sure we know 

All things good and bad about it 

What we should ,

And What we shouldn't

What we must ,

And what we mustn't.

We must know that there  

Is nothing more precious and sacred

Than the circle of life.

It must be lived and passed on 

For Eternity and sacrosanct

Is that of The circle of life .

Happiness

Happiness is the perfect

key to life .

Happiness is everything 

that one wishes for .

They wish it For themselves ,

Their family ,

Their loved ones ,

Their friends and neighbours,

Their country too

And everyone around them .

Those that wish upon it for others 

Shall always have it in abduance

Because only when others 

Are happy can one be happy .

David T Nicholas

Emptyness

What a life it is for me?

If Emptyness it is the key .

If hunger is death's cause

Emptyness was the actually cause.

Our needs sometimes get full

Then in no time get empty 

Our desires ,thoughts and dreams too

Fade away to emptyness in time.

If emptyness is everything we see 

Then we are seeing things right 

The world is full not to be taken 

It's all to be left back because 

the real life is just full of emptyness .

By 

    David T Nicholas

Be yourself

Be happy for your happiness does count

But if you have no happiness within 

Don't fake your emotions and hurt yourself

For you're sadness is at times 

Happiness for many and vice - versa

It's always best to be your self 

And learn to live with every emotion of life

Let others know who you are

By just being true to yourself 

For the eyes believes in what it sees

For the ears believes in what it hears 

And The tongue speaks of what it believes .

If one learns to live with all the emotions 

Only then will they be able

to understand the emotions of others

So be yourself and carry you're 

Emotions with you for it's only 

You who truly knows what you're going thru.

If God is silent

If god is silent 

Then what does it mean.

After all the prayers 

And tears within 

In silence I did it all .

Must I be loud and make noise ,

Shout and sing his name 

For him to speak with me.

I know not the plans of God 

I even desire not to 

But would deeply want to know 

After all that is happening on this Earth

And my life's Bereft.

If god is silent 

Then what does it mean.

The Empty walls

The empty walls in the room 

Speak no words 

That's whom I am with 

Most of the day 

People aren't talking anymore 

They are just smiling and waving away 

Can I compare them to 

The empty walls in the room

Yes of course because 

The world I am in they are the same to me 

The empty walls that 

Speak no words.

By 

   David T Nicholas

Life's curtains are drawn

When the curtains

To my life are drawn 

Surely most would forget 

That I was even born 

For them my words 

Of comfort may not be a thing 

But for those that are near and dear

Feel not that I am not here 

But wherever my afterlife 

Know that I am better than here

This I promise and you know me 

If I love and care for someone 

I'll never forget and leave them

Even after my death 

I'll find ways to watch over 

For that is what my life's about.

By 

David T Nicholas

In my life

In my life 

I've never heard the words 

That I want to hear .

In my life

I've never seen the things

That I wanted to see .

In my life

I've never smell the things

That I wanted to smell .

In my life 

I've never spoken the words 

That I really want to speak. 

In my life

I've never been helped

The way I wanted to be . 

In my life 

I live like someone 

Who never wants to be .

In my life 

I regret that no one is

There for me like I've been for others .

In my life 

The one who knows me is God

And if he is always silent 

So it's justified that the rest of the world is.

By 

   David T Nicholas

An anglonic quote (romantic)

If you listen to others and not you're self you'll be hurting the one you love.

If I ever meet god one day

If I ever meet god one day

If I ever meet god one day

My questions to him would stretch like the bay.

Why me to lead this life of sorrow and pain 

With nothing for me left to gain.

Sweet memories of life I regain

Just to ease my sorrow and pain.

But most of the time in vain

Because my life gets worried again.

A life to live momentum I regain

Once again Bitter biting brain stacking pain.

Is this the life I'm sent to live

The one where happiness and sorrow to bid.

My Dear Math

My Dear Math

Doing Math wasn't fun 

Most of the time I wanted to run.

Oho the numbers I learnt where everywhere

Even in my dreams to scare.

Addition was very easy I thought

Until the teacher taught me the carring plot.

Subtraction was easier than I thought 

But the borrowing led to sorrowing alot .

Multiplying had a lot of tricks 

Which I never got even after the stick.

Division was another term 

Which had really alot to learn.

I finally began to get them all 

Until word problems spooled them all .

Learning to me was always fun 

Because I would always turn my back and run 

Untill my mum caught me, and said;where you're going son

I always found a trick or two 

Forgetting that it was learning too.

Playing was something I loved to do 

Buy boy you're grounded was nothing new.

The homework I always had to do

Just imagine at late nights too.

The answers were right 

But the method was wrong 

In my mind they would all play like a horrible song 

I always wondered what's wrong

For years I kept up with it all

And in my life it helped me overall.
