Lhakiehsa tuoi ngai phunggol cheng<br />
Khulsin na channao kumkho sotte,<br />

Kuki Nam mite chung a lung oi nam?<br />
Laijon phunggol kah a tolthana n jin vaihom<br />
Gi bang kikhen e nangho, keiho, amaho tin.<br />
Na khulsin nao phaithi n alhohmang hitam?<br />
Ka le maona, puldouna leh lunghemna,<br />

I Am- John Claire<br />
By: Tingneilam Lamsi Khongsai<br />
I am yet what i am none cares or knows.<br />
My friends forsake me like a memory lost.<br />
I am the self-consumer of my woes.<br />
They rise and vanish in oblivious host.<br />
Like shadows in love's frenzied,stifled throes.<br />
And yet i am and live like vapours lost.<br />
Into the nothingness of scorn and noise.<br />
Into the living sea of making dreams.<br />
Where there is neither sense of life or joys.<br />
But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems.<br />
Even the dearest that i love the best.<br />
Are strange,nay,rather stranger than the rest.<br />
I long for scenes where man hath never trod.<br />
A place where woman never smiled or wept.<br />
There to abide with my creator God.<br />
And sleep as i in childhood sweetly slept.<br />
Untroubling and untroubled where i live.<br />
The grass below above the vaulted sky<br />

Home<br />
By: Cynthia Cherry Doungel<br />
Its a four letter word..<br />
A place you go to heal your hurt.<br />
Its an altar,ita a shelter..<br />
One place you re always welcome.<br />
A pink flamingo,double wide.<br />
One bedroom in a high rise.<br />
A mansion on a hill, where the<br />
memories always will keep you<br />
company whenever you re alone.<br />
After all of my running, i m finally<br />
coming Home..<br />
The world tried to break me<br />
i found a road to take me HOME<br />
there ain t nothin but the blue sky<br />
now<br />
after all of my running...<br />
I m finally commin<br />
HOME.......
