~ Fill Me With Love ~

Fill me up when I am empty,
Like no one else has done;
Pour warmth into my spirit,
Like rays from summer sun.

Like rain upon the desert,
On a dry and barren land;
You cause my soul to blossom,
With touch from gentle hands.

And like the breeze of springtime,
Gently 'cross my body blows;
Igniting there a flame of fire,
That sets my heart aglow.

You've placed a seed within me,
That has grown into a vine;
Of sheer unbridled passion,
Tendrils curled and intertwined.

Fill me up when I am empty,
Like an overflowing cup;
No one else has ever filled me so,
Yet my Love, you fill me up.

A Friend Unseen ...........

It's strange to have a friend

That you have never hugged

Lightly touched their arm

Or looked into their eyes

But ...

They have touched your soul

Felt their heart 

Been embraced by

The warmth of their being

A friend unseen

Is not a friend untouched

The eyes of the soul will gaze

The heart will embrace

The image will stand tall

But ..

only in dream

SOMETIMES I FEEL .........

Sometimes I feel
We shouldn't touch,
Yet feel each other
Through our eyes.

Sometimes I feel
We shouldn't speak
Yet listen each other
Through our breaths.

Sometimes I feel
We shouldn't meet,
Yet feel each other
In each other's heat.

~ A River Of Tears ~

 





Meandering through the corners of the Eyes,
Few drops of liquid fall,
Men called it Tears,
Pain, joy, fear and lovely memories all it expresses,

Following a line, crossing the cheek,
Wetting the face, like drops of pearl they shine,
A silent symbol of pain,
A testimony of mind's agony,
A natural catharsis of the emotional and physical stress,
A way to feel better, a path to solace,

Heart gives the first signal when the river of tear is going to be on the high tide,
It may be the time you had a baby, it may be the time you met with an accident,
May be the time your loved one bid you a final goodbye,
May be you won a prize,
May be you lost a game after years of working hard,

Be it a joy or a pain,
Heart begins to feel heavy, face anxious,
Stimulating the tear buds, eyes experience a whirlpool
Often you try, but you can't control,
Tears are such, if they once start, you can't stop,
Defying all the laws of dynamics,
They break free the chains of eyes,
And start flowing till they dry,

Assumed as a sign of weakness, they are hardly those,
For they represent a source of strength,
For all I could do when I saw the distance between you and me growing,
Was to let these Tears answer everything,
Conveying all the love, all the grief, in few drops of water,

Now, when you are infinitely separated,
I have made a river of Tears,
and I sail my life-boat often in it, in times of desperation,
Searching you on the shores of memory,
Often I get your glimpse, often I don't,
I emerge out from it as a winner, defying all odds...
But still with few drops of Tears on my cheek,
As a mark that I miss you...

~ Love ~

love is like
a mailbox
it's pointless
and void
if no mail enters

Love is not
permanent
it appears
and disappears

But true love
endures
like the air we
breathe
it constantly
keeps us alive

A perfect body
will not function
without air and water
Love is like these gems
always precious
often polluted

True love is distilled water
it's simple and pure
but sublimer and greater
than worldly lures. 

Sometimes in love

Sometimes in love the words of
The heart fail to come out in the open
They remain unspoken but manage to
Become the focal-center of the existence



Sometimes in love, you love your
Beloved more than love itself
And yearn for his companionship
More than life itself



Sometimes in love, your very love
Results in your love being snatched away
Every step you take towards him
Takes you a mile away from him



Sometimes in love when you feel
Your happiness lies with someone
You are forced to give him
His happiness and yours
Even if you aren't a part of it



Sometimes in love when you feel
You feel you want to hold on
You have to let go your love fully
To be able to hold on to at least some part



Sometimes in love when you want to
Completely occupy him forever
You have to move out entirely to be
In some part of it forever



Sometimes in love when you want to
Keep the flame of love alive
You have to got to bury it deep
Not because you have stopped loving him
But because you love him all the more

~ Someday ~

Someday I will smile
And find the warmth of my smile
Reflected back to me


Someday I will reach out to someone
And find that I only have to reach halfway
For he will be reaching out to me


Someday I will find
The true meaning of the word Love
That many use so carelessly


Someday I will find
Someone with whom I can share
But for now
I must try to know myself
And the world around me


So when the time comes for me to give
I will know the meaning
of my gift

~ Thank You ~

You came into my life
Unannounced
Uninvited
But not unwanted
You came at a time that I needed
A tender smile
A gentle touch
You came with understanding
For you asked no questions


With loving care
You healed my wounds
And nursed me to health again
Then you watched over me
Till I regained my courage
To face the world again
And in your wisdom you realized
My need to be free
So you tied no bonds


Now each night
Wherever I am
I think of you
Wherever you are
And in my heart I repeat
"Thank you"

~ Nothing Lasts Forever ~

Nothing lasts forever
No one lives forever
Keep that in mind, and love


Our life is not the same old burden
Our path is not the same long journey
The flower fades and dies
We must pause to weave perfection into music
Keep that in mind, and love


My beloved, in you I find refuge


Love droops towards its sunset
To be drowned in the golden shadows
Love must be called from its play
And love must be born again to be free
Keep that in mind, and love


My beloved, in you I find refuge
Without seeing my love, I cannot sleep


Let us hurry to gather our flowers
Before they are plundered by the passing winds
It quickens our blood and brightens our eyes
To snatch kisses that would vanish
If we delayed


Our life is eager
Our desires are keen
For time rolls by
Keep that in mind, and love


My beloved, in you I find refuge


Beauty is sweet for a short time
And then it is gone
Knowledge is precious
But we will never have time to complete it
All is done and finished
In eternal heaven
But our life here is eternally fresh
Keep that in mind, and love

(Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941)

~ Unending Love ~

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it’s age old pain,
It’s ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.

~Rabindranath Tagore

~ In Silence .... I Think Of You ~

No words I write can ever say,
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by
the loneliness grows,
How I miss you... nobody knows.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
But all I have are memories.


No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep.
But the love I have for you,
Is in my heart and mine to keep.
I never stopped loving you,
I don't think I ever will.
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.


Heartaches in this world are many,
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you... and miss you so."
The things I feel so deeply,
Are often the hardest things to say.


But I just can't keep quiet anymore,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart,
That no one else can fill.
I love you...
and I always will.

~ I Wish You Were An Ocean ~

I Wish You Were An Ocean ...........



I wish you could hold me
like the ocean embraces the sand,
soaking every grain with it's loving touch.



I am needy when I am around you.
I admit to that.
Is that really a sin
to be so in love with you.



I wish you were an ocean
and I but a grain of sand.
Then I would feel
the love that I desire.

~ I Like To Think of You .~

I Like To Think of You ...


I like to hold a thought of you close to me…
In a special place where I can pull it out
To bring a touch of cheer to my day


I like to think about all the things
we have been through


I like to think of you…
Even though ...
You are not mine


Because you’re one of those people
Who really helps to make my world
A richer and a happier place


The years will come and go
And I know things will change
But the memories I have of you
In my heart will always remain 

~ Love Is ~

Love is ...

Love is
being happy for the other person
when they are happy
being sad for the other person
when they are sad
being together in good times
and being together in bad times
Love is the source of strength

Love is
being honest with yourself
at all times
being honest with the other person
at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth
and never pretending
Love is the source of reality
Love is
an understanding that is so complete
that you feel as if you are a part
of the other person
accepting the other person
just the way they are
and not trying to change them
to be something else
Love is the source of unity

Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences
with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of
and together with the growth
of another individual
Love is the source of success

Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future

Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm of the rainbow
Love is the source of passion

Love is giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each
other's needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing

Love is
knowing that the other person
will always be with you regardless
of what happens
missing the other person
when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security

Love is the
source of life

~ Love Never Dies ~

Love Never Dies .......



Love never dies,
it just gets put aside
blurred by years of life

It lives so quiet and deep in the heart
waiting for time
waiting for caring
waiting to renew passion and joy

Love need to be embraced
love need to shout
love need to hear whispers of caring

Love never dies
it's a patient tenant of heart and soul.

~ The Game of Love ~

The Game of Love .......



Love is a cruel game.
It has a line so thin between winning and losing,
it seems to almost laugh at you.

Love is a game that can be elusive.
No matter how hard some try to join in,
love always finds a way to slither away.

Love is a game that has an unusual way of conning you into it.
It may sneak up behind you,
or confront you face-to-face.

Love is a fast-paced game that changes quickly.
One moment you can be on top of the game,
the next, you can be dragging behind in the gutters.

Love is a game without any rules.
Anyone can be a victim to the game of love,
though not always does this feel true.

Love is a game that is surreal when winning.
Everything seems to be perfect,
life seems to be flawless.

Love is a game that always finds a way to turn the tables on you.
Just when everything seems too good to be true,
love has a way of turning it back around and rubbing it in your face.

Love is a game that never ends peacefully.
No matter what happens one side will still feel empty,
in the game of love someone always has to lose.

~ Whisper of the Heart ~

Whisper of the Heart .........



as the light pierces the dark
friday morning, illuminating
everything in its path
I woke up with a purpose;

my time has come,
this is the end of the road,
scavenging through my senses
I regain my conscious;

as I slowly open my eyes
the sound of my heart beating
and the calmness of the land
tell me everything is going to be ok;

could not help think what could be,
if the sun rose with you here with me.
thoughts deep within, tantalizing,
embedded visions so mesmerizing.

tucked away, as my heart becomes still,
once more imagination does it will.
thinking all day of magic we share,
close my eyes and picture you here.

emotions set in, sparking the flame,
and creating such burning desire.
sometimes love is but a game,
we are burnt by the roaring fire.

~ Love is like a flower ~

Love is like a flower........



Love is like a flower with proper nurturing
it blooms and flourishes as each day passes.

Yet, if it is neglected,
in a moment's time it soon withers and dies.

To hold love,
we must treat it as a rare and tender flower,
nurturing it with the utmost patience and care.

To keep it vibrant and alive
it takes many long hours
of continuous effort and constant attention.

To lose it
takes only a moment of
forgetfulness, disinterest and mistrust.

To sow the seeds of love is
as wonderful as sowing the seeds
of magnificent garden,
and watching them
flourish and grow is a marvel in itself.

To sow the seeds of love
only to watch them wither and choke,
like a garden that's become full of weeds,
is a crime of the heart that none should commit.

Love can last an eternity,
like the gardens of a forbidden tropical paradise,
yet, in an instant,
it can be destroyed
by a hurricane of hate,
in a sea of bitterness and despair.
