I DON'T STAND A CHANCE

I am the girl that looks up and says
"Hey, look at the beautiful sun"
I am the girl that notices, 
The riot of colors when the day is done.

I am the girl that finds funny creatures
Made by the white clouds in the blue sky.
I am the girl that looks at the moon
For it's serenity gives me a high.

I am the girl who can feel in autumn
The rhythm of the falling leaves
And that spring is God's colorful palette
I am the girl who believes.

I am the girl who closes her eyes
And wishes on a shooting star
I am the girl who says " bless you"
When someone sneezes near or far

I am the girl who needs not much
To be happy and to feel blessed
I am the girl who is all smiles
when people expect me to be stressed

I am the girl who believes in angels
In fairies and in fairytale
I am the girl who won't give up on you
When you falter or even if you fail

I am the girl that you see everyday
But you never give a second glance
For the beauty is in my soul, not my face
So with you I don't stand a chance.

DISTANCE

Let the distance grow
Time will take its own toll
And as the seasons come and go
Before the spring will come the fall

What eyes do not see
The heart does not miss
When miles separate
Not meeting is no crisis.

When distances disappear
And proximity grows
Hearts grow fonder
And the love flows

Seeing,meeting and talking
is the bridge for coming close.
An elixir for the love
That only the heart knows.

But when miles come in between
the bridge just falls apart
It's not just the physical distance
Distance grows between the two hearts

So when you feel it overpowering
Or its too close for comfort
Just put some distance between you
Distance will tear you apart.

IF YOU ARE GONE

If you are gone,I will not mourn.
I will not ask why,I will not cry.

I will sleep at night,wake at sunlight
Tell unfailingly black from white.

I shall thank the Lord, for my daily bread
Snarl when hungry, smile well fed.

I shall not want, I shall not yearn
Whatever life teaches, I shall learn.

There will be no problem with my gait
My steps would sync,will walk straight.

I will work hard to earn my living
To the needy and poor, I shall be giving.

Weekdays I will work, weekends I relax
Will pay all my bills and Govt. tax.

But I will not mourn
For corpses have no life of their own.

And I shall I not cry.
Coz there are no tears, once you die.

For you see
I shall not die.....I shall be dead.

JUST A PAGE

In your book of life.
I am, but a short chapter
Or may be just a page.
But one that preserves the dry petals
Of a once fragrant rose.
Of memories, moments and magic
Of a fairytale romance that was
Just not meant to be.
Of a sweet dream, that remained
Just that, an Unfulfilled dream.
The shortest chapter or a single page
Your book couldn't be complete without me.
For you may not say so
But I hear it in your silence.
I read it in your eyes
that does not meet my eye.
In your eloquence and in your pause.
In your poetry or in your prose.
I have heard what you never said
And I have felt what I never felt.
While I know that you too can feel
The magic that binds us.
In your book of life,
I am, but a short chapter
Or maybe just a page.

And then, love died.....

It lay at the corner,
twisted and torn.
Breathing it's last,
Defeated and down

It tried it's best,
To live, to survive
But it's murderers won
They were not one,but five

First one was silence
It slowly became profound.
They stopped talking to each other
The little they did, was duty bound.

Second was mistrust.
It suddenly grew it's ugly head.
Slowly but surely the doubts came,
and then the faith too disappeared

Third was the ego.
The hearts became full of "I"
It was another severe blow
And love started to die.

Then came the green demon.
Jealousy started to grow.
They started to compete with each other
Putting the other down was a daily show.

The nail on the coffin was disrespect.
It came when empathy had gone
What else can you then expect?
Love died a death forlon.😞

Footprints

Some people you meet
Will leave their footprints on your heart
They leave a part of their soul 
When from your life they depart
They leave a melody behind
Which keeps playing on your mind
They leave you a lesson
With blessings divine

They come to hold your hand
When you are down
They come to give you joy
And happiness profound
They come to guide you to faith
When you are in doubt
They come to just show you
What life is all about

They may bring you tears
They may bring you joy
They may cause heartbreak
They may, your confidence destroy
They may bring sunshine
They may bring rain
They may bring happiness
They may bring pain

They touch your life
They leave their mark
To your life's fire that is burning
they add their own spark
They add their own colors
To make a beautiful rainbow
So be grateful for them
And let life's magic flow

DARE TO DREAM

Misty eyes during the day
Wet pillows at night.
Heart that always feels so heavy
Even though it feels hollow inside.

Crumpled sheets on the bed
Tell tales of the restless nights.
Dark hollows under the eyes
enough to give a child a fright.

Is this what they call heart break?
It breaks the spirit, not just the heart
The self esteem lies shattered
The helplessness just tears you apart.

No love is worth this agony
No one is worth this pain.
The one you are pining for, is heartless
All your cries are in vain.

So pick up the pieces girl.
Put back together your self esteem.
Life is bigger than a broken relationship
Yet again, dare to love and dare to dream.

SMILES AND SORROWS

 

Show me a heart that has not been broken
Show me a dream that did not die
Show me a hope that has not crashed 
Show me a doubt that has not questioned why

Show me an eye that has not shed a tear
Show me a soul that is not bruised
Show me a faith that has not faltered
Show me a goodness that's not been used.

Show me a hero who does not have a regret
Show me a brave who was not scared
Show me a saint who has not sinned
Show me a sane who was never mad

There is nothing perfect in this world
It exists but in stories and in tales
It exists in the eyes of the lovers
It exists only where the intellect fails

A little sorrow makes the happiness complete
A little sun makes you appreciate the shade
A little rain is needed to bring out the rainbow
Smiles and sorrows are of what our life is made.

NURTURING

A tiny seeding
Cuts across the tough barrier
And peeps out say hello.
Victory for the little warrior!

Sun shines down a sweet smile
Rain is a blessing after the strife
The wind gushes to greet it.
World welcomes a new life.

Being born from the womb was easy
The challenge is to survive
For now it needs nurturing
It needs love to thrive.

Someone to water it daily
Someone to mow the soil
Someone to protect it from danger
It's a lot of hard work and toil

Into a beautiful plant it will grow
If it gets the right nurturing
The gardener has to keep caring
To keep it healthy and blossoming

It's the same with relationships
You have to nurture with love and care
It needs time,patience and involvement
Whenever needed, you have to be there.

Not only when the relationship blossoms
But always, as slowly it gets deeper.
Like a gardener you have to tend to it.
If you want it to last forever.

WITH YOU

With you I want to go for a long drive
…having no destination in mind
With you I want to share a laugh
…reasons we will find

With you I want to watch a sunset
…and hold my sun in my arms
With you I want to fly to the moon
…and steal some of its charm

With you I want to sing a song
…to the melodious tune of our heartbeats
With you I want to talk whole night
…till the moon and the sun meets

With you I want to have a fight
…for us to kiss and make up
With you I want to nap on the beach
…and to the sound of the waves wake up

With you I want to climb the mountains
…and gaze at the view in wonder
With you I want to spend my days
…with sunshine, rain and thunder
