One day I wrote her name upon the strand


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalize!
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eek my name be wiped out likewise.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name;
Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.

-Edmund Spenser

So if I tell you, will you tear it apart?

It Is Gone

The way I used to smile,

and love our favorite song

The way it felt so right

Look Inside Of Me

I'm happy when you look at me.

A smile is what you see,

But what would you get

Night Fun....

 

I hear eating.

I hear drinking.

I hear music.

I hear laugh

Lovely Eyed Guy

your eyes are so dreamy

your lips are so soft

your body is so lovely

Zindagi ko jina sikh lo

Zindagi ko jina sikh lo,

Zindagi se ladna sikh lo,

Hausla rakho sabse uper,
