We met down the boulevard, One tempestuous evening, It was too cold outside, So I hastily took a ride.

When you failed in the war, And victory seemed so far, You should never ever doubt, Just remain firm in your bout. When mountains are too high, You may scowl and sigh, … Continue reading Never Quit!
Not so long ago, in a faraway land, There lived a maiden named Lebana! She used to ramble with her magic wand, and turned every place into a nirvana. The country dwellers venerated this lady, Not for her beauty, nor her omnipotence, But for her noble doings and her purity, Silhouetted by the untouched … Continue reading The Lost Queen
