The Lady in Red

That night i saw the lady in red,
And after that went everywhere she led,
Christ so beautiful was the lady in red.

Her face so charming,her elegant walk,
Was all that about I would ever talk.

And now that she has gone away,
My life is so dull, All black and grey.

But I still wonder why,
I laugh and not cry.

May be on my fate,
That i fell for such a bait.

I shall never forget till i am dead,
That i had once seen the Devil in Red.

A Dream is not what you see when you sleep, It is something that does not let you sleep

On a silver night in the month of April,

I lay there in my baby suit by the window sil.

With a constant stare i gaze at the sky,

I stare at it till my Mama walks by,

I tell her that, that how high,

i want to go before i die.

She looks at me with a twinkle in her eye,

Says she do what you want to and one day you shall fly.

Years have passed by and still I remember those eyes so crystalline,

On the pleasure that it gave all my life i could dine.

And on this day when i look back,

Not a little sorry for all that i lack,

Because when i remember those eyes,

Courage is what i get to achieve all that i don't have,

As my friend in the long journey of life i have a lot to pave.
