Lightning

Lightning

I came with turmoil
I came when the golden spangles
Of beauty touched the earth
I came with terror
Crowds confounded
Children run in fear

But I’m the beauty of rain
The earth is my lover
She is awaiting me
When I come,
I kiss her lovely face
And bring out the beauty in her

I’m terrific
I’m horrible
But I’m the beauty
I’m the beauty of the rain.
I’m the beauty of the rain.
Yes, I’m lightning
Lightning, the golden ring of Earth’

The Pitch Called Life

The Pitch Called Life

Life is a gift from god
Then why make it odd?
Enjoy it to the fullest
And turn it into the best.
The moment from life to death
Lie open in full length
Life is a long journey
With many a peak and valley
Life is a beautiful pitch
And never an ugly ditch
Love gives life its essence
When we trod without any sense.
Friendship is a real strength
When agonies wait at length
The divine power takes you along
When the days ahead prolong.
Goals and motives inspire us
To achieve the much wanted success.
Success is failure turned inside out.
Do not quit until it turns about
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
Do not give up when the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Life is a great challenge……….!!!!

DREAMS

DREAMS

In this world all have some dreams.

A soldier has a dream to die for his country.

A farmer has a dream to grow the best quality cereal.

A scientist has a dream to contribute something to science.

The doctor has a dream to make the world healthy.

A saint has a dream to make all the people enlightened.

A beggar has a dream to fill his stomach and cover his body.

A blind man has a dream to see the wonderful world.

A tree has a dream to give fruits and shade to all.

Nature has a dream to make everything balanced.

A father has a dream to secure his wards future.

A mother has a dream to see her family happy.

A son has a dream to see his parents satisfied.

Even I have dream to be what I want to be.

And, almighty god has a dream to make all these dreams come true….!

MONEY

MONEY

Workers earn it,
Spendthrifts burn it,
Bankers lend it,
Women spend it,
Forgers fake it,
Taxes take it,
The dying leave it,
Heirs receive it,
The thrifty save it,
Misers crave it,
Robbers seize it,
The rich increase it,
Gamblers misuse it,
And I could use it…………!

TO YOU ‘O’ WHITE MAN

TO YOU ‘O’ WHITE MAN

The silent dawn embarked that distant world.
Did, but none see in them the Color.
They, them around curled and songs oft hurled,
Amidst incessant labors; to pride their ruler.
But lo! Past yearly nights, the horizon rose,
Strange white doth see that land.
Era long he; inhuman in them black enforce,
For oft under mines toiled he in sand.
The know not did see no mines;
Be it diamond or gold.
Then lions roared high in lapse of times,
To shed black blood in cold.
The signs then read ‘whites only”,
In all a place in their Hometown.
And unlaw in them did all blacks plea,
But whites turn deaf and see voices drown.
For all they are but were a pack,
In that giant black mole hill.
(What do the minority civilization lack?)
Riches! No. then the cold blood they kill.
For many a blacks the knell oft ring,
In women, youth and aged
But “free Africa” they dreamed to bring,
To miles and miles doth fade.
Ages hath the world known,
The men alike of seas and ground.
We ought to reap their goodwill’s sown
‘Cause, its love that makes the world go round.

A Way To Succes

A Way To Succes

An instinct makes a will
A will makes a desire
A desire makes a motivation
A motivation makes an ambition
An ambition makes a creation
A creation makes an acceptance
An acceptance makes an achievement
An achievement makes self-confidence
Self-confidence makes success
Success makes a mission accomplished


Poem By, Lubna P K, St. Teresas College

Death Of Love

Death Of Love 
Somewhere between sanityAnd the deep lunacy of love,
I see the blurred image of a life,
Perfect as the autumn sky.
Every moment like the song of a skylark,
Every moment sprinkled with cheer,
But the burning fire of reality,
Casts shadows of disgust in my minds mirror,
My mind, which had cried over
A river of love going dry,
My mind wanders llike a sleepwalker
In the blind alley of life;
And then I see a pulsating heart,
In the wet ground of life,
The heart - red with blood,
Which poured down from my heart, 
That was stabbled by the double edged,
Yet so shiny sword of hope,
Hidden beneath the beautiful face of love.

Poem By: Aswathy.S, St. Teresas College 

Doomsday

Doomsday

Nature lost her patience.
Destroyed her own creations

She was greedy
And took the lives of many.

What have we done?
That she has spared none?

Black clouds crept 
At night as we slept.

Tormenting rains and gushing seas
never seemed to cease.

Mountains that soar
Only gave a mighty roar.

People groaned and mourned over this bloody crime
For their crimes turned out to be a game of mine.

Wow! She had a sumptuous meal
She had nothing but a natural flair to steal

You called millions froom various lands
To enter the gate of your mighty hands.

Never would we cherish that year
For death was the answer to every fear.

Poem By: Chippy Richy Cherian,St. Teresa's Coll0ege

Belive in the best

Belive in the best

When you open your mind 
To some a little kind
It will help your troubles to unbind
And then surely you'll find 
The problems you dealt,
The heaviness you felt,
The tensions which dwelt 
Slowly begin to melt
Then you forget all the rest,
Pray and hope for the best,
Face life with zent.
And see troubles as passing jest
Instead of seeing life as difficult test.
Always learn to enjoy life
As a happy fest!

Poem By: Bhavya 

The Deaf Ear And The Whole

The Deaf Ear And The Whole

Deformity
Mortified walls that pierce
The skeletal enclosure
And congenital humiliation
Wags its tail
Mocking misery raises its head
Reminders every where
Affirmation of calloused walls
Opening unhealed wounds
Every hour, everyday.
Salt of earth, spare a while
The wails are fainter
But agony unabated
where were you when your brother cried?

Poem By:Gopal K.S,St.Alberts College

Innocent Hatred

Innocent Hatred
Shimmering lights are for insects,
And so is the same with the Human sect,
Helpless as they are, can’t drive them out,
Just because they are all flattered out,
But mind you shimmering ones
One day you’ll all became dull ones
Then you won’t have your braggard around
But you’ll still have you Faithful Electrician around.
Perhaps that is when you’ll look down to him.
To know what’s gone wrong with you
If it’s a loose contact you are lucky
But in reality most of them are all fused
So my dear ones don’t shimmer on top of sky scrapers
But the apt place lieu is on the table
You must remember Brutus the mighty
All what caused the end was cassius motiveless malignity.

The Moaning Of A Heavenly Ghost

The Moaning Of A Heavenly Ghost

Deep in the night
In a silent scene
Came a twinkle
From a distant mount
It grew brighter
And took a form,
The neatest figure
I had ever seen
A face so awesome
Lovely and calm,
With deep blue eyes
That shone like stars
She made a Goddess of the night!
Floating over clouds and trees,
She sang a song,
In a low mellow tone
So sweet the voice,
The ear had heard
For the beasts of the night
Stood still and listened
The song she sang
Was of her own lone-life
I hardly forgot a word or line
For it remained carved
Deep in my heart!
“Ah, woe is me
My own sad fate,
Lass so sweet
They called me once
Twice I fell in love, too blind,
Believed it strong
And followed my will
A shot and blow
Into my heart,
I was killed by him.
As a revenge
I lost the heaven
I lost the hell
I am here to wander all over the world,
To sing my tale and cry over my fate.”
Thus did she mourn, moving on,
But I knew she’d be cared for
By the blissful light high above
That will comfort her
With the lasting peace, she is seeking for.

Plays Or Pedagogies

Plays Or Pedagogies

The essentials stay hidden,
The credentials anything but,
Though it’s both on the starlet
And the viewer, the same,
That widens your eyes but clamps your smart-mouth shut.
It may just not occur at the counter,
But once you’re immersed in the arts,
Your behind aches from having sat tart,
For way too long, as does your heart,
And surprised I won’t be, if in there,
You were behind a shopping cart!
And then comes the earth-shaker,
For that’s what it is to me,
That’s shaken me up so deep,
Down within weep;

My emotions are so important here, you see.
For they are what we all share,
Where we stand alike and come together,
Though you may not gather,
Oh my sisters, but we are one in this weather,
This fight for the mere better.
Of what, you ask??
How can you, when you and I,
Have nodded off in the same theatre, 
encountered the same seers
Sans sight,
When you couldn’t tell apart Cleopatra and Antony
And sounded a sigh,
And withered away from an eager, 
infant pink to dry,
Old gray, once the curtains had climbed unattainably high??
There are of course the exceptions,
Preity Zinta and Antony Hopkins,
Make my shut mouth gape in awe 
(though it ain’t theatre acting),
Shakespeare’s and Shaws’ seems like legendary
Glimpses of heaven from them coming;
Their performance so real, 
it’s not even anymore acting.

But they are just a handful,
And a handful they’ll remain,
For the work is for any Cain,
Who can cup his hands for the payin’,
And ignore the parched pupils
watching his pretentious playin’.
You see, it oughtn’t to be taken so callously,
For those plays staged by the torpid thespian,
We suffer the summer, weakened on ‘em,
Until the winter-descend,
Bear through, hollow till the end,
The revolution must arrive before the Depression sets in
So when will they realize?
Will you tell them or has it got to be me?

The one to take,bear and not feign,
To stand up, against and finally out?! Nay,
I do your work now, so that you don’t whine
When your teeth creak!

Oh sacred imposters, lend me your eyes,
Thou art amusing for thou art lying,
It does not suffice to merely know the lines,
Or to blame it on the lack of discipline,
For its missing the most in thine!
You are God, guard and guide,
The bearer of the lamp to the light,
You are to bring to life,
Yourself and the audience alike.
Why would you groan now, when you were aware
Of this all the while?

For after having lived in the darkness of the theatre,
Unaccustomed to us nocturnal, the world is like the glaring sun,
We blink stupidly, look around and find familiar none.
Now, a return to the melodrama would be simply dumb.
Finally, plough forward cautiously with the fear of getting burned.
My only hope is that you provide me artillery,
(As my chicken and kitchen are barren for the time being),
For the horrific histrionics and atrocious acting.

And swear to me you shall head the call
Only from the inner being,
To bring in the light where it’s dark, for if anything,
It’ll make for us and posterity, a better quality of living.

Poem By:Zerin Zachariah

You and Me

You and Me

The starts in your eyes
The sun in your smile
When I see your face.
You are in my heart
With you around
My world is wonderful;

I’d like to tell you 
How much I love you
Today, tomorrow and forever
Love until the end of the time
If I had a pair of wings,
I would have flown to you.

Poem By: Tereasa Dhaniya P.X,St.Teresa's College

Money Power

Money Power

Money can buy a bed
but not sleep
Money can buy food
but not appetite
Money can buy a house
but not a home
Money can buy a book
but not knowledge
Money can buy medicine
but not health
Money can buy people
but not love.

You need me...

You need me...

God! You can't be without me
Neither can I be without You

You need me to love
You need me to create,
You need me to exist,
You need me to be You.

Your existence is 
clubbed with mine
You cannot be if I'm not.

You need me to be saviour,
You need me to make promises,
You need me to send your son,
You need me to keep track
with me.

You need me to speak,
Without me you are silent,
You need me God to exist,
So You created me for You.

Poem By: Dr. Sr. Vinitha,St.Teresa's College

My Friend

My Friend

A friend is trust
A friend is warmth
A friend is always there
To add happiness and
To listen to every care.

A friend is understanding
A friend is sharing too
That's just the kind 
Of special friend that 
I have found in you!"

Poem By: Gelesha Joseph,St.Teresa's College

Easy v/s Difficult

EASY V/S DIFFICULT


Easy is to get a place in someone’s address book
Difficult is to get a place in someone’s heart

Easy is to attain a mistake in childhood
Difficult is to correct it in adulthood

Easy is to we love
Difficult is to show it every day

Easy is to promise something to someone
Difficult is to fulfill that promise

Easy is to stumble on a stone
Difficult is to get up

Easy is to admire a full moon
Difficult is to see the other side

Easy is to get a diamond ring
Difficult is to carry it on right wing

Easy is to criticize others
Difficult is to improve oneself

Easy is to set rules
Difficult is to follow them

Easy is to love a wrong person far away from
Difficult is to recognize the right person standing next to you

Easy is to make mistakes
Difficult is to learn from then

Easy is to think about improving
Difficult is to stop thinking about it and put it into action

Easy is to think badly of others
Difficult is to give them benefit of the doubt

Easy is to receive
Difficult is to give

Easy is to read this
Difficult is to follow.

Forest

Forest

Vast green forest,
Mountains covered in deep dark woods,
No one ever be lucky as we,
Who born in earth,
Twinkling of the stars,
in the deep dark expanse,
Bunnies playing in the grass,
Butterflies sitting on flowers.
What a beautiful green earth we have,
Never had seen her complaining or crying,
But today the earth is cursed,
to have us the man kind.
We are acting as tailors, who cut out her,
Green dress into bits,
She never complained about this merciless act,
It when does we all burn in her anger.
The beautiful animals, insects, birds,
And even the animals which are not seen,
Are satisfied with what offer then,
But we who have brain acting as brainless,
Cutting trees for our luxuries.
No one ever thought,
About a earth with out trees,
No one ever thought about uses of trees,
Only thought about cutting them for our luxury.
They give us food, shelter, cool fresh air to breath,
We a blind, who never cooks to the good aspects.
Who never wants to know others pain.
Earth is crying to have children like us.
Who is butchering her with their sharp knifes.
It is like brothers killing each other,
We are all her children,
Why should we do such to our mother?
Respect Mother Nature & plant mere,
Trees which will wipe of her tears & protect us.

Special Moments

Special Moments

Every special moment
Which embraces me with joy
Precedes dreadful torment
That makes me free to enjoy
Every special moment
Fetches love and fame
Never an instant to lament
In the midst of nature’s gave
Every special moment
Attained not abruptly
But in accomplishing perfectly
The tasks laid upon us
Every special moment
Upholds with initiation
Tends me with compassion
To attain great strides in life
But yesterday’s special moments
Are just today’s sweet memories
Beholding which ,I breathe
The ecstasy of life...

A Priceless Asset

A Priceless Asset

Our meeting was just in accident
Into my lonely life you came like a dew drop 
Changed my loneliness into happy moments 
You are the one I always turned to when 
I need someone to share my feelings 
You gently guide me to a deeper 
  understanding of myself. 
Slowly you made my life colorful 
You are my strength in times of need 
You gave me the assurance that 
You’ll always be with me 
Friend you’re so sweet.  
My every breath is safe under your wings. 
I know one day you’ll have to leave me. 
Giving me tears………………………. 
And the loneliness will return to me 
But in my prayers I wish you’ll 
Always be there to care for me. 
I need you my friend throughout my life 
I need you…………………………….!!!!!!!!
