The sky is blue Oh! What a wonderful hue; It soothes your eyes, And stops all the sighs. It reminds us of the sea You will surely agree; With clouds strewn across Like stones covered with moss. It’ll make you feel cheery I guarantee you won’t feel weary; It can make an ordinary man Want to fly like a superman. So whenever you feel sad And want to cry like mad; Just look up at the sky! Just look up at the sky!

Vanessa trudged along the snow-covered forest with a mix of nervousness and euphoria tingling in her stomach. A science student at Moscow State University, she had been chosen as an intern at the esteemed Quark Deep Space Centre, located in a remote corner of Russia. Although the center was very old now and was made almost obsolete by the new centers all over the world, it still was a highly respected research facility.

They came as a pair One friendly and one savage One would glance, one would glare One cage they had to share Then suddenly the friendly one died In the middle of the night When I held him And I cried and cried
The savage one was left with me Or rather the other way around But who knew that she would be The most loving creature I’d known She didn’t need a partner She was happy with me And I wouldn’t let even My father touch thee Loving you was quite a task You wanted to be with me And my heart also yearned for you When you were away from me
You became the pet we know To love, cherish, look after and care For you I would do anything Just say the word, I’ll be there Your shrill voice Was my mother’s worst nightmare She would scream “ What is that noise?” But your minstrelsy Was music to my ears It made me happy And then when eventide arrived You would shout for your blanket And if I didn’t cover you You would cause a huge racket
One day you bit me But I didn’t blame thee For it was your love That you tried to make me see The day I lost you Is scarred in my heart And even though we are separated We will never be apartI didn’t believe you were gone I screamed, kicked and yelled But when the cold truth set in I was even more hysterical Father tried to console me But I knew the wounds caused Could never be healed fully For in my heart of hearts There is only one person You, only you. I love you chicky Now and forever ...

While everyone sleeps I walk down the streets Like a wandering ghost, I may seem lost But that’s just an act. Underneath the sky that’s blacked Lives an entity of death; The arch nemesis of good health. I’m the reaper of souls. I carry a list that only unrolls During the hours of darkness. I read the names enlisted with an air of calmness. I don’t pity them for they have sinned, Fate doesn’t differentiate between the dark and fair skinned. I creep into their homes but no one spots me; Lives are taken by me quite easily. I’m not evil And though my intent is doubtful, I assure you I won’t take your life, Unless you’ve killed someone with a knife. If committing crimes makes you gush with delight You’ll find me at your doorstep at midnight.
