QUEEN OF THE CAMPUS

At first blush, like never before

I got some non-stop feelings for you

Some are their searching for me, while I took myself to red

It really hurts but I have chosen not to show off,

Indeed, a bottle up emotions.

I don’t say what I don’t really mean.

You are the Campus Queen.

My feelings were exposed, and looking for a nook

My eyes scour wherever they see a crowd

Not just a crowd, but the crowd that steals your trendily nonchalant styles.

I harbour and nurtured, my feelings are really strong,

As immense as the sea.

I wish I could be welcomed, in those heavenly hands.

Your richly figures mesmerize my spirit.

In the heavens, I see no star that worth me.

Oh Queen of the campus!

Whenever I see you, I still see the hope

My heart does sink but only at your sight

I wonder, why it goes like this?

The school really unite us but does not unite us,

Physically it does but not the other way

I like it the other way; together like A & B

Your love always grows that size of Mount Everest,

In your presence my ears never fail

Neither in a second nor something of this nature.

I love the feeling of being your BF

My feelings ennoble your whole

That your enormous beauty I shall salute.

Your steps are my drummers,

They always  melt my psyche with a rhythmic sound

As does a stick and make one dance.

Tremendously fascinating

You are gorgeous as a sultana

And as attractive as the rainbows

Your sui generis dresses really chain my sole!

Your mellifluous voice never leaves my way.

Really! That mellifluous voices of yours strand my whole

As (does) lullaby in the babies ears.

My ears longing to detect your sounds

Those noteworthy & caring eyes hypnotize my mind.

I am Moscow, when my admiring glances catch your Sight

In your appearance, my happiness mounts.

My friends are my companions indeed

I wish they could remember me whenever they see you

I wish that companionship could be with you.

Oh queen of the campus!

Don't be a hard nut to crack

Make me a triton among the minnows

Never say never, you worth my life

Be mine, and mine forever …

Since Rome was not built in a day,

I have a secret hopes, that you might be meant just for me.

LIFE IS

Life is not the water we drink 
Life is not the air we breathe 
Life is not the food we eat. 

Life is natural 
Created by natural 
From natural 
With natural. 

Life! Life!! 
Life is perfectly perfect 
Life is eternally eternal 
Life is endlessly endless 
Life is unseen.
