Handwriting on The Walls of Life
I wrote my thoughts with the ink of history
on the walls of the streets of the listening world
to be remembered in a legacy notes of my name
Handwritings on the walls of life
saying what today has to offer
more louder than the voices of yesterday
And laying foundations of words and lyrics
to speak it better tomorrow
thoughts of life
that changes the gears of life
creating wisdoms
detached from the pool of ignorance
Mending fences of civility
with poetic creams of life
lending hearts of wisdom
From nations to nations
with sweet knowledge
tied to the loins of life
Of many who reads the raves
from the many frays of the treats
that makes the hearts jump for life
Spreading the thoughts of life
like a bedsheet of love
bridging all gaps of wants
Of the caring moods of life
to fill up the empty cups
of comforts and despairs
Whether to hate or to love
in the very time past
or to desire or despise
In the hours of the present
nor to reject or build up
the realms of tomorrows story
All falling within the laps of todays offers
bringing out from my skull of schooling
setting me out always like a dreamer
To give out the best time can offer
all that will relieve tomorrow of its pain
and cause today's marriage of rememberance
and of the cares of searching
for the long missing gaps of poetic words
and songs of ballads like genres
All thoughtful thoughts
that gives life a better name
all these timeless writings
From the ink of my heart
that flows into rolls of legacy of honours
of men that builds their generation
all the writings..
all the thoughts..
poetic dreams of my time..
clearing the wilderness of knowledge..
from the confusions of the sleeping tomorrow..
ways of poetic concepts flawless from new norms..
..developed for eternity
..writings that breathes with a large heart
..they refuses to die but only resurrects
..all meandering with ages in the open palms of life.
