10.03.06The Charge of the Light BrigadeHALF a league, half a league,Half a league onward,All in the valley of DeathRode the six hundred.‘Forward, the Light Brigade!Charge for the guns!’ he said;Into the valley of DeathRode the six hundred.‘Forward, the Light Brigade!’Was there a man dismay’d?Not tho’ the soldier knewSome one had blunder’d:Their’s not to make reply,Their’s not to reason why,Their’s but to do and die:Into the valley of DeathRode the six hundred.Cannon to right of them,Cannon to left of them,Cannon in front of themVolley’d and thunder’d;Storm’d at with shot and shell,Boldly they rode and well,Into the jaws of Death,Into the mouth of HellRode the six hundred.Flash’d ...

06.16.06Adorable Mother’s Admirable JourneyAdorable Mother’s Admirable Journey By Tin MoeGee up “HE!” promts the bulls to go forward with bell jingling,A few who could tarry in rest house hear it and tally beads.And so the British period passed.Bombs booming and aeroplanes wheezing;Seek shelter in a religious dwellingThe one ventures in up and down riverine tradingWhile the freedom fight is commencingAnd so the World War II passed.Loud noises acclaim with pride the national independenceFlags flying, banners streaming in crazinessLike a tidal wave it climbsAnd shake the earth with violence.There is however a sadness as if the sky fellAnd so the Aung San epoh passed.The ...

06.16.06To Anthea, who may command him any thingBid me to live, and I will liveThy Protestant to be:Or bid me love, and I will giveA loving heart to thee.A heart as soft, a heart as kind,A heart as sound and freeAs in the whole world thou canst find,That heart I'll give to thee.Bid that heart stay, and it will stay,To honour thy decree:Or bid it languish quite away,And 't shall do so for thee.Bid me to weep, and I will weepWhile I have eyes to see:And, having none, yet I will keepA heart to weep for thee.Bid me despair, and I'll despairUnder that cypress tree:Or bid me ...

06.12.06When I am deadHere is one of my all time favourite poems.When I am Dead, My Dearest by Christina Georgina Rossetti(1830-1894) When I am dead, my dearest,Sing no sad songs for me;Plant thou no roses at my head,Nor shady cypress tree:Be the green grass above meWith showers and dewdrops wet;And if thou wilt, remember,And if thou wilt, forget.I shall not see the shadows,I shall not feel the rain;I shall not hear the nightingaleSing on, as if in pain:And dreaming through the twilightThat doth not rise nor set,Haply I may remember,And haply may forget.
