You Tarzan
Me Jane
You shout
Me explain
You dive in
Me refrain
You muscles
Me curves
You loud
Me reserved
You demand
Me defer
You impatient
Me serene
You dirty
Me clean
You handsome
Me pretty
You strong
me weak

His Wait

He thought of her as his mentor
Abyss was his life without her
His eyes followed her everywhere
His heart bled for her to succumb
His vision enveloped her body
there was no room for anybody
for him the stars, the sun, the moon
all shine at her feet
he still waits for her to agree...

Modern politics is, at bottom, a struggle not of men but of forces. The men become every year more and more creatures of force, massed about central power-houses. The conflict is no longer between the men, but between the motors that drive the men, and the men tend to succumb to their own motive forces.

Wings of imagination

Everybody flies
On the wings of
Imagination
Whether they fulfill or not
Keep on increasing
Their aspirations
Think the impossible
At times suffer from
Desperation
Few get inspiration
Try do better and better
Never succumb to frustration
Many enjoy imagination
Take it as joy
To their heart and soul

The question is not whether you're frightened or not, but whether you or the fear is in control. If you say, 'I won't be frightened,' and then you experience fear, most likely you'll succumb to it, because you're paying attention to it. The correct thing to tell yourself is, 'If I do get frightened, I will stay in command.'

I Loved You...And You Lied

It simply grieves my heart
To even say goodbye
For every single part
Of me just wants to die
And time has all but ceased
My feelings are all numbed
The pain greatly increased
To this heartbreak I succumb
There seems a lost tomorrow
For our dear Love has died
No, You cannot grasp my sorrow
I loved you... and you lied.

Only You

Lonely are these days of mine
And they seem to crawl.
And I can never liven their pace
And that makes me fall

Into a state of depression,
One to which I succumb.
My eyes weary, my fingers achy
And my thinking always numb.

Only you can change this
And bring me out of this mood.
Only you can lift my spirits
And change my attitude.

To triumph is to succumb

Echoed Sugreeb,
‘I annihilated Bali! ’.
Ecstasies his wife,
‘I am redeemed’.
But wept his father,
‘I lost a son’.

Pledged the wise,
‘We wiped out the pest’.
Bowed the mankind,
‘We are saved best’.
But the Creator felt,
‘The nature is at its worst’.

Man triumphs nature
To succumb to Nature.

Inside a Crimson Sky

Outside a sky of blue is fading in and out of grey.
Inside a crimson sky is dawning all throughout the day.
My senses are numbed as defences succumb towards a
Dread fear of revolution. The young are running faithless,
Beneath the sun a-shining still – Upon the hill we’ll have our fun.
Turning cycles in evolution – Forever at our own pace –

Depression

Despondency fills what is not there
Elusive happiness, happy one can not be
Pulsating pain, death doth dare
Ruining my soul, my soul in me
Exuding somber heat into my face
Shriveled from sadness most burning wrath
Sorrowful with no love to grace
In a rue, a doleful path
Odious, ominous, the worst yet to come
Never ending depression, to thee I succumb.
