Love

love knows no ownership
still its empire is endless
its invisible embrace
its silent worship
is mightier than chains
powerful than monarchy
stronger than anarchy.

it simply conquers
consumes the very existence
nothing works against it
logic, argument, wisdom
it’s the mightiest
in all three kingdom
earth, heaven and hell below
all three to its power bow
it’s the undisputed empress
of the whole universe.

A heart

If you have a heart of gold
People may be jealous
And call you a fake
Or may be mistrustful
Thinking that you are fake
Don’t let that get to you
Prove its worth by burning
In that fire of mistrust or envy.

If you have a heart
As wide as the sky
As deep as the ocean
You will find people
Who will try to bind you
Don’t let it happen
Never shrink yourself
No matter what.

If you have a sweet heart
People will try to taint it
By pouring things bitter, sour
Let your sweetness overpower
All things that pour in your heart
Never let any thing from world
Corrupt your sweetest feelings
For your brothers, the human race.

If you have a heart of lion
People will try to intimidate you
Ego, fear, mistrust… too many reasons
Never let them chain your spirit
Rare souls are blessed with this
Never let any one mess this
Walk tall, lions never crawl
They face every thing with regal stride.
