Love, sweet, romantic and exciting

Love, spiritual and satisfying

Love, free and spontaneous

It's a true eruption from an emotive heart.

 

Love is  not just physical

It's much deeper than that

It's the right combination

Of the mind, heart and soul.

 

Love is best when given out

True love is unconditional

Real love is sacrificial

Perfect Love is emotional.

 

Love knows no enemies

Love transcends borders

Love is really blind

I t leaves its mark behind.

 

Pollute this world

Using radiations of Love

Spread the Light of Love

And decimate the hatred lurking behind.

 

Invest in Global Mutual Fund Of Love

And cool off wars mounted by religion and race.

For the heart is the only true religion

That can heal and keep this world sane.

There only will I go

Where the bright sun shines

Where a calm river glides

And where the cool block of ice slides

There only will I go

 

Where conscience has its own idols

Where a sphere of joy forever whirls

And where the milky current of water falls

There only will I go

 

Where Nature displays its diverse feathers

Where the whole animal world gathers

And where the atmosphere changes its weathers

There only will I go

 

Where the city murmur is far away

Where life is free from dismay

And where there are thorns on the way

There only will I go

 

Where the echo is heard

Where everyone keeps his word

And where Peace reigns under the banner of God

There only will I go

 

Where the blue lake reflects the sky

Where sad hungry hearts sigh

And where cliffs and caves never die

There only will I go

 

 

 


Sitting by the river

 

By Silviano Barbosa 1972-01-16, Goa

 

Sitting by the river

Looking at the nature all perplexed

The sparkling effervescent waters past the rocks

Racing forward in the quietude.

 

Sitting by the river

I hear the melancholic sound of the foliage

With aerial strings plucked by the winds

Showing communion with the Nature.

 

Sitting by the river

I stare at the golden fish

All swarming in big colonies

The innocent pretty little things.

 

Sitting by the river

I admire the birds in the firmament

With glorified beauty in their multicoloured wings

Breathing peace and liberty on the mortal below.

 


Innocence

By Silviano Barbosa

 

 

Oh Innocence

The most refined of all virtues

Where spotless heart lies

In depths of ignorance

Thou art always reared and nourished

In sweet angelic budding stage.

 

Oh Innocence

The most coveted victory

Yet, very hard to combat

How many under thy cover

Do blinden the eyes of your admirers

Thy vests, white and stainless

Do adorn the conscience with sweet fragrance.

 

Oh Innocence

The cause of desperate helplessness

How many times thou hast been

A virtual guilty captive of the law?

The blind eyes refuse to know thy true valour

The secret remains hidden forever in the tomb

Of your esteemed and  ardent disciples.
