Utopian Dream

“If you actually succeed in creating a utopia, you’ve created a world without conflict, in which everything is perfect. And if there’s no conflict, there are no stories worth telling or reading!”

Veronica Roth

Together

When we are together
There are no limitations
Together we fill the space
Between the earth & the moon
We can live in our dreams
Both big and small  
We are the beauty
Within each others souls
Together we can soar
Above our spirits
For we share the most precious
Thing that life can bring us
The blessing of two hearts
We are as full as the moon above
When we are together “As One”

Come with Me and Cross the Line

Come with me and cross the line,
Let’s go together and you will be mine.
Let me show you the way,
Let me take you far, far away.

I think that I can’t let you go,
Live without you, oh no.
I need you now more than before,
I am what I am, I can’t be more.

Don’t ask me to be something else,
Cuz then you’ll have to chase someone else.
I need you, I miss you, I can’t deny,
Don’t tell me that your love has been a lie.

If it’s so, I don’t know what to do,
I can’t live a day without thinking of you.
Come with me and cross the line,
Let’s go together and you will be mine.

Let me take you far, far away,
Let me show you our way,
Let’s find love together…
Let’s fly away together

A Tribute to Neil Armstrong

“Lunar Eclipse 2011″

“In the summer of 1958, the Congress wrote and the President signed the National Space Act establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and I remember the time clearly, 50 years ago this week. I was high above the California desert piloting a B-29 carrier aircraft and launching the X-1E, the latest and most advanced of the fabled X-1 research airplane series.

NASA became an operating agency on October 1st, 1958. I found myself that Wednesday morning going to work at my same job, my same office, doing the same work that I’d been doing the previous day. It was a relatively easy transition. We were already riding on rockets and research aircraft. We already knew how to count backwards: “8, 7, 6, 5…”

We had merely to paint over the “C” in NACA and replace it with an “S” on our airplanes, our trucks and vans, as the other principal components of the new agency, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the California Institute of Technology, and the Army’s Redstone Arsenal in Hunstville, Alabama, assumed they were deciding what the minimum amount of painting would be required at their installations and what new responsibilities they would face. 

In any case, I suspect there are some number of people here tonight who remember the birth of NASA and were a part of those early days. So I would like to ask those here tonight who were founding members of NASA, those from NACA, those from JPL, those from Redstone, and those who came from various other places to join NASA in the year 1958 – I’d like those of you who are seated in that category to stand, and those of you who are standing to raise your hands and let me hear from you. Congratulations! You’ve being recognized as old fogies – old fogies that we are and of which we are exceedingly proud.

And here tonight, a half century later, we look back on what has been accomplished. Our knowledge of the universe around us has increased a thousand fold and more. We learned that Homo sapiens was not forever imprisoned by the gravitational field of Earth. Performance, efficiency, reliability and safety of aircraft have improved remarkably. We’ve sent probes throughout the solar system and beyond. We’ve seen deeply into our universe and looked backward nearly to the beginning of time.

We were a competitor in perhaps the greatest peacetime competition of all time: the space race – USA versus USSR. Like a war, it was expensive. Like a war, each side wanted intelligence on what the other side was doing. And I’ll not assert that the space race was a diversion which prevented a war. Nevertheless, it was a diversion. It was intense. It did allow both sides to take the high road with the objectives of science and learning and exploration.

Eventually, it provided a mechanism for engendering cooperation between adversaries and then since, among others. It was an exceptional national investment for each side. I submit that one of the most important roles of government is to inspire and motivate its citizens, and particularly its young citizens – to love, to learn, to strive to participate in and contribute to societal progress. By that measure, NASA will without doubt rank in the top tier of government enterprises.”

The goal is far more than just going faster and higher and further. Our goal – indeed our responsibility – is to develop new options for future generations: options in expanding human knowledge, exploration, human settlements and resource development, outside in the universe around us.

Our highest and most important hope is that the human race will improve its intelligence, its character, and its wisdom, so that we’ll be able to properly evaluate and choose among those options, and the many others we will encounter in the years ahead. And I look forward to watching the progress and those exciting development and hearing the status report when we gather again for NASA’s 100th anniversary.”

 Bloom

We say our love is budding

A flower not yet in full bloom

Roots still burying deeper

Required to support what looms

Strength from the roots

Flowing thru the stem

Continuing feed the budding

So our love can fully bloom 

Warmth from the soil

Again thru the stem it flows

Without warmth

Our love will be come cold

Stem strong like steel fiber

With standing all known winds

Never bending or breaking

To assure our love never ends

Strength, warmth, and strong fiber

Revealing to all who view

A bloom now a beautiful flower

Known as “Forever Lasting Love for You”

Right Here Waiting

I know how hard is to wait
Waiting for you my love
When I know you are so near yet so far
So near because I have your heart
But so far coz you don’t know
When you can come here at my side….

But even then, I am still here
Waiting for you to come along
Even I don’t know exactly when
You will be with me
To share the love that is for me…

I’ll be right here waiting
For you to make a way
A way for me, to let me know
The feelings inside your heart
Which you have kept since the time you have loved me…

I’ll be right here waiting
Even if will takes me hundreds of days and nights
Waiting all alone for you
To fill the emptiness here in my heart…

The emptiness that only you can fill
Because its only you who is being loved
By my heart since the start…

And I will just be here waiting…..
Waiting for the day we will share
The love we have kept inside
Deep down inside our hearts…..

Through Fog and Haze

The heart is moved
With pleasing gaze
Love cuts its groove
Through fog and haze 
Often without any sense
Love knots one tight
Its pulls so intense
When heart fire’s light

A Reason to live

To the lost soul
We try to think, we try to laugh
Never have we imagined being so close
And yet so far, life sure is morose
With streaks of darkness brushing the painting
Of an abstract meaning, with a sense of belonging
Never have we imagined that to have a dream is a utopia
Illusion remains in this world full of the useless; of trivia
We wish to believe
We hope to live
We want to cling to some desperate hope
We stare at the high sky
And gaze at night, with stars so bright
We dream of flying to a faraway place
When nothing here is worth; where love is no more a grace
That’s why we wish for more
We look for the space outdoor
Could it be that outside something better is waiting for us?
Or is it only stupid to delve in other treasures and to blindly trust?
We never know what’s awaiting us; are we going to meet the fairies? 

Life is like a river; it carries away with it all the memories
Facing challenges, enjoying every blissful moment
Treasuring what is dear to us, looking forward to any happy event
These and many other more form part of our boring life
Where we need to struggle and continuously fight
Otherwise what would be the purpose of living?
We have to be strong; and continue believing
Faith, a reason to live, a goal to attain
Never should we let go; to love always and again
Because this is the only way for us to achieve happiness
And to forever dream, to never wake up, to enjoy the endless…
