Poems by Joydip

When the world weighs you down
When unfavorable situations make you frown
Count on me, my friend

When the world gives you trouble
When your agonies seem to have doubled
Count on me, my friend

When everything around is a mess
When you can't handle so much stress
Count on me, my friend

When everything seems to fall apart
When someone has broken your heart
Count on me, my friend

When you need someone to hug you tight
When you need someone to say, "Everything will be all right,"
Count on me, my friend

My heart doesn't belong to me.
You have its only access key.

Life is meaningful because of you.
Our bonding is priceless, always new;
Valuable you are, indeed precious.
Eternity is what I wish for us.

You hear voices of nature in a rooster's call
As if saying, "Hey, wake up all."

You hear voices of nature in buzzing of bees
As they gather around flowering trees.

You hear voices of nature when a dove coos
Or during midnight when an owl hoots.

You hear voices of nature in an ocean's roar
Or during a heavy downpour.

You hear voices of nature in murmur of a stream
Or when the hungry nestlings scream.

You hear voices of nature when leaves rustle
Or when the wild wind whistles.

Nature is neither mute, nor is nature silent;
Nature's sounds fascinate those who carefully listen.

Do dare to dream your desired dream
No matter how impossible it may seem

Do not get deterred by what others say
Stay focused and you will find your way

But remember the road will not be easy, it's an uphill task
So be honest to yourself, and you need to sincerely ask:

Do you have it in you to do everything that it takes?
Like rising after each fall and learning from the mistakes

Do you have the patience when the road seems much too long?
Needless to say, you need to remain resolved and be strong

Do you have the courage to continue and endure?
When the outcome is unknown, nothing is for sure

Do you have the tenacity to carry on till the end?
For on that much of your success will depend.

Even if you are not near me
And distance keeps us apart,
Remember this, my dear -
You will remain in my heart

Even if fate is not in our favor
And we have no choice but to depart,
Remember this, my dear
You will remain in my heart

Remember this, my dear,
Eternal is our bond,
Surviving the passage of time -
It's forever and beyond

Oh dear auntie, I love you so much,
You're someone I want to stay in touch,

You're generous enough and indeed wise,
You show how to live life without giving advise,

You never tolerate wrongs and raise a voice,
You show making life peaceful is our choice,

You're a good listener and show patience,
Empathy is your very essence,

You're free of bias and show respect -
Which is impressive from every aspect,

You're a good role model who can inspire,
And I think everyone should aim and aspire

To be kind, authentic and true,
That's why I dearly love you.

You fulfill my senses to the core,
I haven't felt such deep love before,
In your embrace I find peace,
Taste tenderness in your kiss,
The scent of your body makes me swoon,
Your voice creates a musical tune,
It's you I want to keep on seeing,
I love you with my entire being.

You're the sweetest sister I know,
I've seen you over the years to grow

From a cute child to a bubbly teen,
We then got tied up in life's routine

Now you're a lady with a mind of your own,
Still you're the sweetest sister I've ever known

You look beautiful, so damn pretty,
I find you cheerful and quite witty

May the Almighty bless you with love
And all the things you've dreamt of.
