Secret behind that Smile

Merry and jolly though one may seem,
Laughter resounding in its fullest beam.
No sign of pain or a drop of tear,
Courageous fighters without any fear.

Deep down a secret place exists,
Truth withheld, never to express.
Searches a soul to wholly trust,
That dares to break this outer crust.

Facing each day with the broadest smile,
No matter how great the battle or trial.
Silently, reasoning with God each day,
To be our guide through this narrow way.

This Silly Fate

Strangely silly is this fate of mine
Seems hard to believe with passing time
Imaginary as it may seem so lame
Until I witness it being unfold as a game
Blame it as luck or mere destiny
Who would have written for me so specially?
Good and evil scrutinously balanced
Are deeds everyday being challenged?
For I cannot see that which lies ahead
Or whether I choose to know them instead
To worry in vain and face tomorrow,
Or smile and unravel the present as a bow.
~Veronica Angela John.

* Wish upon a star *

If I could wish upon a star so bright..
Ask for all that brings delight..
No price for any treasure,
Admonish every displeasure.

If I could wish for a world so fine.
No hatred, just love so divine.
A heart so pure as that of a child,
Equality prevailing amongst mankind.

Would all I wished for ever come true?
I stand and ponder without a clue.
Across my mind crawls a thought,
Was it just a glimpse of what heaven's all about?!

~Veronica Angela John.

Turn back time..

If only I could turn back time,

If only my life would be so fine..

Erase the moments you curse yourself for,

Heal those wounds that only hurt you more..

Relive those hours which brought you joy,

Things I longed, but never did try..

Bring back someone you wish you never lost,

Throw out ones who were the worst..

A hope in future is all I gain,

Bearing bruises that's worth the pain..

Nothing I can do or have a say,

Just bow my head and softly pray.

Dedicated to My Dad :-)

I will always admire a certain man,

The one who always told me , I can!

He hides me under his protective wings,

Showers me with life's most beautiful things.

He would barr and restrict my path many a time,

I would mistake his love and cry or whine.

He may not be the one who wiped my every tear,

But he would make every trodden path of mine clear.

My strength in times of trouble,

The hand that rocked my cradle.

Whether my life would dim or glow,

Dad, You'll always be my Hero! :-)

~ Veronica Angela John

Believe In ME :-)

Wipe the tears rolling down my eyes,

Grab my hand when I’ve broken all ties.

Be my source of joy and laughter,

Know what my soul seeks after.

Search my eyes and find my pain

Ignore my anger and count it vain

Embrace me without asking for a reason

Love me the same in every season

Believe my dreams and help me fly

Allow my wings to flutter with pride

Ignite my fire and watch me sparkle

Trust my life, though it is a gamble.

GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME, ANYONE?

Adamant, rude, haughty or proud.
Did you say something, i can't hear a sound!
Why bother so much about my attitude?
When you can just go and get a life, Dude!


Mock me and i'll mock you even more
I dont care even if it sounds sore..
Accept me the way I am..
Or buzz off coz' I don't give a damn..


I know myself better than anyone else..
So keep your shitty advise coz' it makes no sense..
I don't hate anyone no matter how they are..
Avoiding them is my kind of war!
