Seven ages personified
When a baby is born , He is as lovely as a fawn .
Then he adapts the fourth dimension of space ,
And wants to paint the world
But first learns how to tie a lace !
In the tendor age ,
He feels safe in his mother’s lap ,
Inspired from the animated characters he is always in search of a treasure map !
Then he enters the school with the warmth of his father’s chest ,
He is just like a bird who is taking off from his nest !
Now no one would be able to keep track of time ,
And he would grow up as a teen in reverie !
At this stage one must be prudent ,
As maximum number of sins are committed in life as a student !
As he grows a lil’ more he becomes a complete enigma ,
As this would be the age when he would count number of bonds of pie and sigma !
Now he would be in search of a princess of his fable ,
As at this stage he would have maximum energy and thus would be less stable !
And finally he would find a mate
with whome he can share his life ,
With whome he can grow old
and have a cute grandchild !
When he would be taking his last breaths ,
He would remember the bunks
and how it felt for the first time to get drunk !
How it felt when he first topped in the class ,
and how much it was tough to
cram the atomic numbers and their atomic mass .
How his mother got furious when he used to come late ,
And how it felt when he first saw his soul mate !
The night before exams how he used to wail ,
And how he used to bunk his collage just to catch selfies on the rail !
How it felt when he proposed his wife ,
And how he helped his son to cut his first birthday cake by managing the knife ,
And now these memories would be buried in compliment with his life!

SUMMER VACATIONS
Bags were all packed,
Wearing my black shades on
With red pants and brown shirt
I was travelling alone
Hot wind blow,
Oh my white forehead
Trees were swaying ,
I wanted to dance
Heard the waves,
Oh beautiful Boracay
Saw astonishing glitters
Amazing white sands
I so felt it
Summer was bit thrilling Relaxing
and cool Oh summer vacations

THE MIRROR
Look into the mirror and
tell me who you see
Is it someone you love and in
someone you believe?
The mirror will not lie
and it only knows you
Open and honest in search
of what is true
Stare into the eyes that
can only stare back
Searching for the soul that
somehow fell off track
Your friends are not here,
no one by your side
Be true to yourself,
there is no need to hide
The mirror will allow you
to see into your heart
It will let you know this
is the place to start
Do not wait too long; do not let
too much time go by
Regret does not care
for those who did not try
Look into the mirror and
tell me who you see
Is it someone you love
and in someone you
believe?

Dad
I tell you I do not care, but I care,
I tell you I have nothing to share,but I share
And I want to do is share, share with you.
Care for you
Be with you
Dare, Bare
Soul, Body, Heart
Weaknesses, Regret, Remorse, Forgiveness
Love, Frightened
I thought you didn’t want me.
I thought you didn’t care
You didn’t dare love me.
I didn’t see because you were afraid
I was so narcissistic
I only saw me
I didn’t see you
Yours fears, your disappointments in yourself
I thought it was me.
You loved me, you dare to care,
I lost the chance to say I’m Sorry
I dare not care
You moved me so openly
I only saw selfishness, needy and wanting to talk
I am so sorry.
