various

that moment hiding spring in your smile
tiny dewy bringing in a fresh dawn
twinkling full of stars in hopeful eyes
that still spreads it's fragrance all around
beating
it's a melody in my heart
that one eternal moment
that live within us
just a moment..
or is it...

he once asked me to describe live
i just know how i feel
and so does he
i have basked in God's smile
and walked avalon
it is you who showed it to me
my heart just blindly goes out to you
in a forever blessing needing to be there always..

each time i think of you
a blessing comes to mind
a wish a hope a prayer
everything fresh pure fragile
i will you my strength
yet i feel stronger
with your presence
just having you by my side
each time i speak to you
i hurt with the beauty within..

my pain my tears?
one is dying of Cancer, another of Cold
you can't gauge misery, to each it's untold

names and relationships-
that's all that seems to be understood..
or is it...

you talk of voids yes they are there
filled in magical moments that celebrate life
with these simple gestures
'touches' that remain with you
strengthening your faith
in life.. in people.. in humanity..

we look for names
for something beyond our comprehension
and fall way short sometimes distorting
showing the world a shadow
of what only our eyes can see
and again we bemoan that loneliness
as bitterly we blame life and people
and disillusioned move on
holding that eternal void.. in a fresh search for...?

thank you for that reflection.. clear.. honest
simply holding the image of a friend
a hand unwaveringly there
healing strengthening..
those values and beliefs so dear.. true..
steadying a reeling soul in this -
a reaffirmation of the beauty around..

his eyes haunt me mirrors to his soul
honest sensitive clear.. this man i adore
he smiles in a million different ways
and each time he does he simply takes my breath away
each time he says 'i love you' with such depth of feeling
i still feel the hush i still feel the tears..
he never expects a response nor asks for one
but somewhere i sense a need
a waiting - patient yet angry sometimes..
he asks me if i ever met anyone quite like him
hey, I'd be a certified case then after all, I'm crazy about you stupid..

so much i feel blessed
as if i have touched the skies and felt heaven
you have touched my heart
a touch so unique, it stays with me constantly
bringing joy and ecstasy.. beating only for you
stopping each time that light in your eyes dims
or that smile slips..

my heart reaches out to you with love and gratitude
moreso today
nothing would have been possible
if it wasn't for you
thank you for sharing so much of yourself with me
for understanding and loving me as you have

your love gives me such unique contentment
and strength from within
i could face anything with you by my side
a feeling like this is once in a lifetime sharing
we are indeed lucky to be blessed with so much love
i love you sweetheart
come hold my hand and look at me
as i wish you a very happy anniversary

we each one of us is looking for that rainbow
just over the horizon
and forget to live and enjoy our todays

we worry about the future the outcome of things
any happiness that comes our way is not enjoyed for itself
we question it, think of the consequences first
something that might never happen
which just might not be in our hands
a future happening that we can't help
and as a result we miss out on
maybe the most beautiful moments of our lives..

in worrying about our tomorrows we miss out on our todays
or continue to live in the past
some imaginary or real wrong just entangled chained
in some piece of land rightfully ours
sadly we forget to move on
forget what's past
has already happened can not be undone
we yet cling on

instead of living our todays which we can make a difference to
we'd rather worry over past mistakes or a future happening
each of which is an exercise in futility out of our hands

we do have our choices but
do we choose to live
do we choose to smile
do we choose to be happy

don't we try and find blame everywhere else
but what of us - ourselves
are we being true to us
don't we owe it to ourselves to choose to live

know we are unique we are exceptional
we were all born alike in every way
so we do have a right to live live each moment
our way

just one life we have so many moments
a journey each one has to complete
now it's in our hands if we want to take each experience
the good and the bad
as just a part of it
not the complete whole
because we do move on
and forget..

we can choose to be happy or cry our way through
somewhere we forget it's something we just have to go through

once we board the train and are stuck with painful passengers
why play into their hands why not show them our individuality
spread the smiles show them our way

it's only when you face upto your fears that you realize they don't exist anymore
a mystery can only remain so till it is solved
a problem remains no more if you find the solution
should't we put these fading words where they belong

only an exceptional person accepts human frailties for what they are
and moves on.. instead of getting swamped under bitterness and ill feeling
we always forget the fact that issues are just that.. issues
that a person is so much more than just that one momentary stand..

we always forget to thank the people we love..
appreciate them simply because we take them for granted
they are a part of us.. we pay so much attention to outsiders
are specially nice to them with all those formalities
even if we could put in a percent of that much attention
in our personal relationships how much more satisfying it would be..

when you feel happiness, don't treat it as chains on your feet holding you back
feel it as wings which help you soar high and fly free
only then would the culmination of your dreams be complete..

as you climb on your way to success, make sure you don't
leave everyone and everything behind
because it's sure going to be
lonely up there..

the amount of time we waste thinking over the people we hate
cursing them.. worrying over imaginary or real wrongs..
if we spent even half of that time thinking of our loved ones
this world would be a much better place to live in

we worry about the future the outcome of things
any happiness that comes our way is not enjoyed for itself
we question it, think of the consequences first
something that might never happen, which just might not be in our hands
a future happening that we can't help and as a result we miss out
on maybe the most beautiful moments of our lives

it is our attitude that determines what our life is going to be like
you take a setback personally or shrug it off and move on
this is something that has already happened what are you going to do about it

drowning in this sea of life..
we sometimes come up gasping for air
each finding and escape bubble
for himself

when you hold a hand that feels your own
don't let go.. or hurry by..
there are some moments that need to be felt
understood
cause it is a rare touch that makes you feel this way

when you hold a hand that feels your own
don't let go or hurry by
there are some moments that need to be felt
understood..
cause it is a rare touch
that makes you feel this way

someone once told me.. 'friendships are like diamonds,
once they break can be mended but the cracks will always be there
only the priceless beauty and wonder holds true' but i'm damned
if it's consider us mere stones..

life can be so beautiful if we can just accept and respect each person's
individuality, instead of impressing our views and needs on them.. force
could never beget love and respect
only understanding and compassion does

does marrying someone really mean you forget to live
you forget yourself.. your wishes.. needs.. what you enjoy
there are so many things one needs to be aware of .. accept
too much pressure has been put on that one word 'marriage'
and the burden becomes just too much for some to take

we each have God within us
then how do we discount our own
unique selves

each day as you greet the dawn
and feel the magic of a new day
breathe also and rejoice
in the miracle that's you

don't close your hearts to immunize against pain
look at that door filled with holes and feel the light streaming in
it's beauty would never have been possible if not for them..

we age and our bodies get sick, but the soul remains unmarred
fly on it's wings and feel the joy..

the sunshine in your heart as you move away
lighting up all the dark corners within

this is how i feel don't know who gets more satisfaction here
the site-owners, managers the poets or the readers
not only is it beautifully interactive
it bathes everyone it it's pure glow..

poetry is music you can also see touch hold within you
you've made this capture it's true meaning
something we need in our lives again
where the questions have already started
as to the deeper meaning of life
only paucity of time, or means hampering us

thank you all for this beautiful gift
which gives us so much joy
making a myth of the fact
the net lacks a personal 'touch'
for making a home for these
expressions in empathic touches
leaving ever-growing ripples..

we each one of us is looking for that rainbow
just over the horizon
and forget to live and enjoy our todays

we worry about the future the outcome of things
any happiness that comes our way is not enjoyed for itself
we question it.. think of the consequences first
something that might never happen
which just might not be in our hands
a future happening that we can't help
and as a result we miss out on maybe
the most beautiful moments of our lives..

in worrying about our tomorrows
we miss out on our todays..

some thoughts chimeric woo guileless emotions
into 'fitting' pictures and the heart wonders
at this perfect form
heart-stopping images
that breathe clarity.. beauty..
struggle to fight this urge
to let just one strand of hair fly free
in this 'semblance' of reality-
a whiff of air.. a breath of life..

you're in each breath I take

on my skin and in my mind

molding each word and thought

compelling, rapturous and blind
