I am a bird…

Fly high in the sky,

Watching all the nature below,

New stunts I shall try,

Sometime fly high sometimes low,

Looking for my bait, 

Looking for my food,

No matter how much I wait,

No matter if I am rude,

I need to feed myself,

I need to feed my kids,

I will pick something from your shelf,

Or from your garden, some weed.

I have nothing against anyone,

I have friends a few,

If predators come, I am gone,

I can't live my life all over and new,

Am not like human beings,

I live for the day,

I amass no things,

But I find my own way,

I have my own sorrow,

I have my own pain,

I don't lend, I don't borrow,

Like the human insane.

I don't live long, my life is short, 

I have no count,

But I live my life a lot,

I can say without a doubt.

Make me your baby, make me yours….

Hold me in your arms tonight,

Let me melt in your love,

Make me forget the world,

Make me your baby, make me yours.

Let me drown in your eyes,

Let your lips whisper my name,

Soak me in your tenderness,

Make me your baby, make me yours.

Wipe your hair on my face,

Place your nose on mine,

Let your tongue feel my lips,

Make me your baby, make me yours.

Let not the world disturb us tonight,

As I feel the warmth in you,

Let me show u how much I love you,

Make me your baby, make me yours.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Edward J Rodrigues ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥.

You make me feel special….

As the months begin to fly,

And it turns into a year;

I have no reason to cry,

And I have no reason to shed a tear.

I look at the days gone by,

The sad sulky so called past

The days that went with a sigh

Have all come to an end at last.

Now I am changed and my life is set,

When a princess did enter,

The face that my mind imagined,

First our eyes met and then the hearts encounter.

I feel happy day and night,

Always there is a moment to cheer,

Sadness fills my sight,

When you are not near.

I love you like there's no tomorrow,

I will make you feel special,

I know you have taken my sorrow,

And made me feel like a prince real

In a relation you fall in love many times, but always with the same person....

It was the 17th of March,

The day I cannot forget,

A year before I fell in love,

With the person, I do not regret.

I gave my mind and my heart,

coz, it was love at first sight,

It was a tender age then

To decide what was wrong and right.

It just took eleven months,

And the promise turned into a vow,

To share care and give happiness,

To the only one whom we love.

We find solace and happiness,

in each other’s arms,

Pray together and eat together,

Under the guidance of JESUS’ palms.

Four years from now…

Am sitting alone and gazing at the sky

Looking for answers to the question why?

Is this a dream that chills my spine?

Is it gonna be worse or am just fine.

I see the crowd moving around

I see the dry leaves on the ground

But this does not seem to bother

What are my memories trying to gather?

What have I done to thee?

Why did you leave me?

Did the promises ever mean to you

Or were you looking for a face new?

I can hear your words in my ears,

I can’t stop but add some tears,

Loved you without any limit

Made no reasons to meet,

Waited in the scorching sum for hours,

Skinned my feet that left some scars

I don’t blame you for this,

You too have the right to wish,

Every day to God I pray,

To give you the strength not to astray,

Fill your life with happiness and joy,

To wipe every incident that will make you cry,

Let success be in the palm of your hand,

And richness in the sway of the magic wand.

Your mind to be free from every thought,

That linked you to me in the past.

I also asked GOD for a favor,

To give you a bundle of happiness forever,

If required take my life,

Coz I can’t see you being someone else’s wife.

A Rainy Day…

I was sitting on the balcony,

Enjoying the site of a rainy day,

Water filled the roads and lanes,

Blocked the traffic and jammed the way.

What a pity I thought as I saw,

Seeing the water level rise,

Staying indoors on a rainy day,

Was it a decision made wise?

Heavy winds blowing all around,

The lightning and the thunder sound,

Vehicles stuck in the gushing water,

Trying to make its way on  the ground.

I stared at the rains and thought to myself,

What am I doing here?

Should I break into freedom and enjoy the rain.

Or stay inside and wait for another year.

I wish he lived...

He would be living to this day,

Healthy, wealthy, fit and fine,

Had he stopped drinking,

Whiskey, brandy, beer and wine.

He wanted to stop the habit,

And he tried a bit by bit,

The drink had completely taken him,

And never let him stay fit.

One day we went to the doctor in a hurry,

When he complained of pain in the stomach,

The doctor checked the reports and said,

Please go to the hospital and reserve a bed.

As days went on,

The pain was never gone,

Alcohol had corroded his liver,

Coz of which he got fever.

The reports arrived and said he had liver cirrhosis,

The lungs and pancreas were affected with jaundice,

This caused too much of a pain,

And the revival of his organs was in vain.

Twenty days had passed,

And no sign of cure,

The doctor called us to his cabin,

        And said, I am trying my best but death is near.

His hands and legs were swollen,

His nails touched yellow and eyes red,

A person who walked a mile a day,

Was now like a vegetable in bed.

A month passed in the hospital,

Slowly all his organs began to fail,

He found it difficult to breathe,

And one day finally embraced death.
