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.

****Edward Rodrigues****

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.

A Short Love story…

She looks so cute with a mole on her cheek,

She lived in the street across the street,

She got the looks to be a model,

But to me she looks like an angel.

I have named her the bright moon,

I call her the twinkling star.

I can feel her presence beside me,

Even though she lives far.

I see her pretty face.

Twenty Four hours a day,

When I sit on the chair,

Or when on the bed I lay.

Yesterday my heart skipped a beat,

And my love story came to an end,

When she smiled at me for the first time.

And introduced to me her boyfriend.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Edward J Rodrigues ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

A love story...

She was my happiness, she was my love,
She was an angel sent from above,
She got good luck and she got me fame,
But one fine day, she just lost my name.

I knew her for six years long,
She was my motivation to write a song,
She was the music of my heart,
Which stopped, when she wanted to part.

Tears rolled down my eyes,
My heart skipped a beat,
I was head over heels in love with her,
And I have no right to call her a cheat.

I could not believe my ears,
That she fell in love when I was away,
She pleaded and begged for love,
And asked me to make way.

I prayed and prayed every day,
To give her knowledge and mend her way,
Also to bring her back in my life,
And I would accept her as my wife.

GOD heard my prayer
And she returned at last
He gave me the strength to forgive,
And also to forget the past.

Now I give her all the love,
And more than before I adore,
I always expect to be with her,
And love her more than before.

******Edward Rodrigues*****

You can never understand a women…

You love her to the core,

She takes you for granted,

You love her less,

She makes your life a mess.

You bring her expensive gifts,

She starts to yell,

You don't bring a gift,

She will make your life a hell.

.

You are once late for a date,

She will never forget the time,

When she turns up late

That's ok, men can always wait.

She holds your hand on the street,

She means, that's her love,

You hold her hand while crossing the street,

You are spying, you have a doubt.

If a man cheats on her,

All men are the same,

If a women cheats you,

U ignored me; it's all bcos of you...

When you love women,

They are always on your mind,

But a man who understands a women,

Is a hard one to find.

Thank you Lord…

When I look at the sky,

I see the beautiful birds fly,

Flapping their wings at a speed

Their mouth holding their baby’s feed

I can hear the animal sound,

Growling, and roaring loud,

The wild animals behind the cage

Making sounds to vent their rage.

Pets at home feel our love,

A dog, a cat or a lovely dove,

They feel so caring and loved

Makes them always stick around.

We can smell the flowers so nice,

The roses, Delia and Jasmine

We can also smell the spice

And the perfumed fragrance.

Thank you lord for all the senses

Coz we are born without a defect

Still we err and make mistakes

And proudly say no one is perfect.

Bhopal Gas tragedy…

It's been more than 25 years now,

And the culprits are still roaming free,

Killed a thousand and crippled a thousand

By the hands that the created the tragedy.

In the geographical heart of India,

In the capital of state Madhya Pradesh,

In the year nineteen eighty four,

The world heard the scream and the roar.

The disaster that one cannot forget,

It’s still left its mark behind,

Still babies born without hand and legs,

And a thousand babies have born blind.

Politicians played the dirty game,

Just for their glory and fame,

Slaughtering the innocent citizens,

Tragedy killing people without swords and guns.

Let's stand up for such a crime,

Make politicians pay for every dime,

Unite as one country and let's fight,

Coz every Indian has living right.

I am alone, I am alone and I am alone….

I am alone, I am alone and I am alone….

From the day I decided to move,

To another country for money,

I miss my love, my darling, my honey,

It's a bad feeling I can say

Given another chance I will never go away….

I am alone, I am alone and I am alone….

Filled with sorrow and full of pain,

My distance is someone else's gain,

I know what you are going through

Looking around to make new friends,

And break the loyal family trends…

I am alone, I am alone and I am alone….

I don't say a word, I bear the sorrow

I will give her all the happiness

Even from friends if I can borrow,

I want to see her happy all the time

This will make me always feel fine.

I am alone, I am alone and I am alone….

But why me all the time

Love plays the role of a soundless chime

I can't share my feelings anywhere

I have no friends to care and share

I feel dejected and at nights I cry

Sometimes I feel best is to die.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Edward J Rodrigues ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I want to be the same...

Sometimes I sit and think of my past,

Just trying to remember the days,

The happy days and when I smiled last

Behaved and acted in funny ways.

I had the energy, I had the power,

To make all laugh and smile,

Jokes and fun I did shower,

Everyone's sorrows were driven for a mile.

A grand send off did they offer,

When I left them all,

Still they miss me and talk about me,

And cry on the phone when I give them a call.

I want to be the same again,

But the life has made me insane,

I know I need to change my focus

And the world will be the same again.

My Angel…

She looked cute, 

She looked beautiful,

She was fair,

She had long hair.

I saw her every day,

On my way to school,

The day I didn't see her,

I behaved like a fool.

She had no wings, 

She held no wand,

She wore no halo, 

But, waved her hand.

As the days passed by,

And week after week,

my Angel made me crazy,

And I was on the peak.

But a day came,

When I saw her no more,

I looked around in every angle,

For my missing angel.

But she was nowhere,

And my Angel was out of sight,

As I opened my eyes,

I discovered it was still night.
