Empty Laugh

I laughed in my empty palace,
As loud as I could.
Under the pretence of vain,
Noisily I made a hoot.
I laughed till the echoes returned,
On me they fell like the rain;
Slowly my mouth twisted
And trickled tears of pain.

To My little Bro

Walk to the stars

And you’ll meet 

The brightness of success there ,

The celestial shower of happiness ;

And when you look down

You’ll always find me

Looking up at you

With tears of pride in eyes ,

Telling everyone ,

Oh! he’s my little brother ……

That’s my dream for you

And that’s my prayer .

My Gaurdian Angel

Sometimes, when sad I’m

And the world

To understand me fails;

Like an angel

You come,

And comfort me.

Sit beside me,

Bear me all the time.

I love the pleasant words you speak,

Not condemn my misgivings,

And still show the mistakes done;

And not hate me

For doing so!

I love the touch

Of your caressing hand,

I love to feel your fingers

Part my hair.

My angel……so dear to me,

Never abandon me,

Always be near.
