IT’S YOUR CHOICE

...

Beauty in honest life,
And power of kind words-
Have ne'er before been seen,
And have ne'er ever been thought of;

I Don't Know Why...

(Third Prize winning poem in the Inter-College Youth Fest-2008 at GU)
[Theme: My Land, My Time]

20 long years has gone,
...

Stop it you idiot Queens!
Too much you all dirty Fairies!
Stop now! ! Enough of being queers! !
Come back to your senses you faggots,
...

Quick days come, & long years go,
Like the evening’s soft afterglow;
Childhood is beautiful, but is now gone,
And someday, you’ll be forgotten, but the deeds done…
...

I'm in a world,
Far away from honesty,
I'm in a different trade,
The only trade that may suit somebody...
...

It was some seven and a half years back,
I met a good girl and we became good friends,
But that good friendship and her dormant love now I lack;
And now, even my faintest shadow she hates! L
...

THE FOOTPATH MAN

An early morning street of a bitter-cold winter,
Numerous lips sipping coffee trying to farewell the shiver,
...

SING ME…

Sing me once more that sweet song
And give me what my heart wanted for so long,
...

The Best Poem Of Stephen Styris

For The Daughters - From The Fathers

For The Daughters -
From The Fathers
**********************
How proud does he feel,
To be a father,
Even more proud does he feel,
To be the dad of a daughter.

He dearly loves her,
More than he loves his wife,
He really madly loves her,
Much more than his own life.

He guides her right from the day she is born,
He’s the one who teaches her to walk in the lawn,
He’s the one who teaches her to read in the dawn,
And he’s also the one who teaches her to pray
When the day’s gone!

Till now, he’s a loving father,
Of a dear daughter,
Till now he’s a proud father,
Of a cute daughter.

But as time passes by,
She no more needs this old guy,
And all she has gotta say-
Is, - “He knows nothin’ of today.”! ! !

Slowly she jumps from the lap of teenage,
And enters the gate of adulthood;
She leaves this old father on a certain day,
And breaking the rules, with her lover, she runs away!

He becomes nearly paralyzed,
His heart breaks to cold pieces like ice,
And he thinks, he ‘was’ a loving father,
And he ‘was’ a proud father!

A child relieves its pain by crying to its parents,
And so a wife to her husband,
But a father has none to stand,
And thus, his tears dry within his broken heart!

This is the pain frequently given by proud daughters,
This is the pain frequently received by poor fathers,
And this pain of a loving father
Is the Most Tragic Pain in the world of Love! !

Once, she was a proud loving daughter,
And now, she’s a proud loving guy’s lover! ! !
