Life is…

Life is a roller coaster,
With all of the ups and downs.
Life is a child’s face,
With all of the smiles and frowns.

Life is having no umbrella,
On a wet and rainy day.
Life is having no one to talk to,
But having lots to say.

Life is talking for hours,
To an old friend.
Life is watching a movie,
Trying to predict how it will end.

Life is looking in the mirror,
And not recognizing who we see.
Life is up to you and me.
To make it whatever we want it to be

Clarity

The silence is deafening
As you wait for a sweet symphony.
You bend until you are ready to break.
You’’re on your hands and knees
Searching desperately
For that moment of clarity.
You think that you’’re falling forever.
But then you hit the ground running.
And in that moment,
You find out that it’’s worth
Finding a different kind of perfect.
You realize that you’’ve been
Spending all this time
Looking for the answer,
When you should have been
Asking a different question.

I don’t understand, why I am here.
When will I ever be able to live,
I feel like a little girl again.
Talking to the moon,
Like it was my best friend.
Reassured, that it will spend another night with me,
As I cried myself to sleep.
Every night I look for him
Wishing upon the stars
Pleading my need for him
My want for him.
Screaming my thoughts so loudly,
I lay down sadly.
Knowing I can’t live without him
I pray.
As my thoughts cascade across the midnight sky,
I can’t help but to dream of myself.
Grown up, fully developed,
and being who I always wanted to be.
Telling myself that those days being a young girl
will be only a memory .
Afraid of telling my mom,
how I really feel at night as I lay my head on my pillow.
Just patiently waiting to grow up.
Hoping one day angels from heaven,
would come down and take me to show me the world.
Planning a getaway with bold intentions,
I humor myself.
Knowing that I loved my mom too much,
To kidnap myself and throw me in the ditch of real life.
But, in the back of my mind I think even in such conditions
Will I be happier?

Among The Few

They were many…
I was not among the few.
I was missing the bright and beautiful part…
The day I grew older, I remember it as a good day
That day when I smiled with no reason
For the sun that made the birds seem happier,
I considered myself special.
As the first flower that bloomed in the spring,
I was wrong.
A flower never makes a spring…
I remember the house…, that beautiful house with
Green windows and the smell of fresh cookies…
Remember the fairytale?
It was late when I realized that
The boy was missing and the old lady was just
My fear of being among the many
Those who stop believing in themselves
Still……
I was not among the few….

We Live

We live
We laugh, we cry, we shout, we try, we live.
We focus on others, we marry, we divorce, we hate, we love, we live.
There are two paths in life, we choose, we live.
We share, and we care, we sleep, and we dream, we live.
We believe, we trust, we lie, we live.
Were different, were the same, we live.
We take tests, we go to school, we fail, we succeed, we live.
We think, we thought, we live.
Our heart beats for a reason, we live.
Each of us our perfect for the heart that is searching for us, we live
We shine on, we feel depressed, we live.
We are confident, excited, and smart, we live.
We smell, we touch, we taste, we live.
We are beautiful, we live.
Because god says so,
We live.

Fake Reality

working hard to not work at all
slowly crawling at a constant fall
soundlessly breathing at the fear
shying away as it gets too near
get out get out get out!
‘move on to better things’
whispered words through cut-neck throats
is all it ever seems
that’s not real
it’s too unclear
reality is in my head
fiction breeds in innocence
like wheat’s ingrained in bread
sheltered deep and ravenous
my wings take flight in dreams
hidden away from prying eyes
knotting their invisible strings
tying each and every path
so it doesn’t have a chance to crash
flight and fight and flight again
waiting for this phase to end

Unforgettable

I miss you
I miss everything about you
There was an intimacy swollen in my heart
but has faded in your eyes
But my love is strongest,purest
I shall never forget
How much I loved you
and love you still.

Your smile touches the deepest corners of my heart
There was a time, when I knew I was yours
but that has also passed.
How can I forget the sparkle
on the bosom of your laughter
The magic in your eyes
The ticklish banter.

How I wish time froze
and I was forever yours
Till the sun goes down
Till the stars all die
Till the gleam of the moon
does never flood the sky.
You may never know
How you have arrested my whole
Perhaps you shall never see
and never know
the abyss of my longing-
a quenchless fire deep below.

But till the tide of time
embraces the last grain of sand
Till autumn’s last leaf
is swept away from land
Till our entwined souls
meekly to faith surrender
I will love you true
Forever and ever.
