Youth ,hopes and dreams- I am happy

 A person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

Youth ,hopes and dreams- live in your hope

" The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof ".   

Youth ,hopes and dreams-Tearful eyes

The mirror laughed; it gleaned my thoughts

And saw me cry my want:

Synthetic views – pathetic clues

To how I tick – and now you taunt,

You bleeding mirror, jibe another!

Just because I dream…

To be the mighty hero wise!

And perch atop the sodden hill

Of blood and pungent death,

To lead our race from sure demise.

Let’s regain, collect, and rest

Before the battle slams

Our dauntless nerve. And now to rise!

Come follow me – we’ll slay the foe!

See my cloak unfurl.

Through screams and wails, he fails and dies.

Look! he falls across his minions’

Path. I laugh aloud.

My warriors hold me to the skies.

Overhead the clouds recede,

Thinning out the black.

And then I fade in pallid lies.

Returning back to conscious state,

I let the mirror slate me:

Fathoming my remote disguise,

Reflecting back my hopeless lot.

Oh to smash the thing!

If I could see through

Youth ,hopes and dreams- Give back my life

Give Back My Life

Halt 

Stop the moment

Twinge and despair

I rise within my evil

Fought to the bereavement but losing still

Catch me my life

Give me my broken soul

Give back my life

Give me my untainted empathy 

Human in me is dying 

Path taken made forsaken

Words not nullifying truth

Betterment is not coming

None could win me

Cos all was burning 

Leave nonentity for the world to cry.

Youth ,hopes and dreams- egotism in lovers

“There is, in lovers, a certain infatuation of egotism; they will have a witness of their happiness, cost that witness what it may.” 

Youth ,hopes and dreams- Sex and beauty are inseparable

Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition.

Youth ,hopes and dreams - A visit from wisdom ,poem by Khalil Gibran

A Visit From Wisdom

In the stillness of night Wisdom came and stood.                                            

By my bed. She gazed upon me like a tender mother

And wiped away my tears, and said : 'I have heard

The cry of your spirit and I am come to comfort it.

Open your heart to me and I shall fill it with light.

Ask of me and I shall show you the way of truth.'

And I said : 'Who am I, Wisdom, and how came

I to this frightening place? What manner of things

Are these mighty hopes and these many books and

Strange patterns ? What are these thoughts that pass

As doves in flight? And these words composed by

Desire and sung by delight, what are they? What are

These conclusions, grievous and joyous, that embrace 

My spirit and envelop my heart? And those

Eyes which look at me seeing into my depths and

Fleeing from my sorrows ? And those voices mourning 

My days and chanting my littleness, what are they ?

'What is this youth that plays with my desires

And mocks at my longings, forgetful of yesterday's

Deeds, rejoicing in paltry things of the moment,

Scornful of the morrow's coming?

'What is this world that leads me whither I know

Not, standing with me in despising? And this earth

That opens wide its mouth to swallow bodies and

Lets evil things to dwell on its breast? What is this

Creature that is satisfied with the love of fortune,

Whilst beyond its union is the pit? Who seeks Life's

Kiss whilst Death does smite him, and brings the

Pleasure of a minute with a year of repentance, and

Gives himself to slumber the while dreams call him?

What is he who flows with the rivers of folly to the

Sea of darkness? O Wisdom, what manner of things

Are these?'

And she answered, saying :

'You would see, human creature, this world

Through the eyes of a god. And you would seek to

Know the secrets of the hereafter with the thinking

Of men. Yet in truth is this the height of folly.

'Go you to the wild places and you shall find

There the bee above the flowers and behold the eagle

Swooping down on his prey. Go you into your neighbor's 

House and see then the child blinking at the

Firelight and his mother busied at her household

Tasks. Be you like the bee and spend not the days of

Spring looking on the eagle's doing. Be as the child

And rejoice in the firelight and heed not your Mother's affairs. All that you see with your eyes was And is for your sake.

'The many books and the strange patterns and

Beautiful thoughts are the shades of those spirits

That came ere you were come. The words that you

Do weave are a bond between you and your brothers. 

The conclusions, grievous and joyous, are the

Seeds that the past did scatter in the field of the

Spirit to be reaped by the future. That youth who

Plays with your desires is he who will open the door

Of your heart to let enter the light. This earth with

The ever open mouth is the savior of your spirit from

The body's slavery. This world which walks with

You is your heart; and your heart is all that you

Think that world. This creature whom you see as

Ignorant and small is the same who has come from

God's side to learn pity through sadness, and knowledge

By way of darkness.'

Then Wisdom put her hand on my burning brow

And said:

'Go then forward and do not tarry, for beforeWwalks Perfection. Go, and have not fear of thorns

On the path, for they deem naught lawful save Corrupted blood.'

Youth,hopes and dreams- love makes us feel happy

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” 

Youth,hopes and dreams - her beauty

“The Brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing, and think it were 

Youth,hopes and dreams- we will have our separate world of invention

“We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.” 

Youth,hopes and dreams- enjoy your beauty

“A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.”
           

Joy and sorrow- I almost wish we were butterflies

“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”

Youth,hopes and dreams- let us seek a newer world

“Come, my friends
Tis not too late to seek a newer world
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die”

Youth,hopes and dreams- she weaves

“There she weaves by night and day, A magic web with colors gay. She has heard a whisper say, A curse is on her if she stay, To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott.” 

Youth,hope and dreams- whispering of flowers

“The red rose cries, "She is near, she is near;"
And the white rose weeps, "She is late;"
The larkspur listens, "I hear, I hear;"
And the lily whispers, "I wait.”

Youth,hopes and dreams- My two luxuries

               “I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.” 

Youth,hopes and dreams- I feel for you

“I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” 

Youth,hopes and dreams - I exist as I am

“I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.
One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.” 

Youth,hopes and dreams----love someone---

If you love a stranger, be friends. If you love your friend, be best friends. If you love your best friend, tell him.

Youth,hopes and dreams—–The Sunshine

“The sun,–the bright sun, that brings back, not light alone, but new life, and hope, and freshness to man–burst upon the crowded city in clear and radiant glory. Through costly-coloured glass and paper-mended window, through cathedral dome and rotten crevice, it shed its equal ray.”
