Family

HOME is where Love Blossoms,

Happiness perfectly blooms,

Care grows on strong roots

Kindness is the main fruit.

One Man...

never will forget...

If memory loss shall ever happen in my older days,

Don't worry if my mind fails to recognize who you are.

Just land your hand on my bosom

and feel my heart beating out your name.

For the Mind might forget

but the Heart shall never!

To be Near You...

As the Flower turns lonely without the kiss of the Rain,

As the lonesome Sky misses the Moon upon dawn,

As the River wishes for the Boat to come crossing by,

As the Tree longs for the Bird to shade in,

That's how a Heartsick Girl Feels......

Hoping to be Near You...All the time!

Love Of My Life

Love, hear the unhappy sound of my apology,

The bitter tears flowed as deep as broad blue sea,

The multiple regrets as countless as warm night stars,

The sad appeal of a wounded heart wrapped with scars.

If only the hands of clock be spun counterclockwise,

I would turn the events changed and reorganized,

I'd rather inflict pain to myself, not in yours,

Drift over waves of loneliness even worse.

Love, listen to the contents of my grateful phrases,

That silenced the queries in your mind's spaces,

Thank you for accepting my emotional frailty,

And the chance given to regain your trust in me.

Love, feel the truthfulness of my fearless confessions,

You once found my love deficient with stupid reasons,

Now, I weep in fathomless sorrow to release my guilt,

And try to rebuild the ruined tower of love and faith.

Wrinkled pages of my life's book are torn,

Sheets of my past that time will soon burn,

Love, trust these few words I now pronounce,

I would love only YOU beyond bounds.

Secret To Happiness

Never Hate to LOVE,

Never Love to HATE,

Never Leave Room for BITTERNESS

& HATRED in Your Heart...

To Those You Hurt, APOLOGIZE.

To Those Who Hurt You, FORGIVE.

Then, Learn to FORGET,

And Live Your Beautiful LIFE...

...That's the SECRET to HAPPINESS

and INNER PEACE....!

Are Memories Enough?

Are MEMORIES Enough?

For a Yearning Heart to Stop Beating?

For a Lonesome Mind to Stop Thinking?

For a Hopeful Soul to Stop Waiting?

For a Wounded ME to be Content

LOVING YOU In Voidance?

Inside Wounds

No injuries ever present,

Not even a bruise on the skin,
No drops of blood can be seen,
None a small rash or anything.

But a shade of pain is reflected,
An intense sorrow detected,
Am I invisibly tormented?
What kind of affliction is it?

Something unexplained can't be ignored,
There's a need for remedy and cure,
A relief for my heart's long suffering,
To stop inside wounds from bleeding.

Closure

One last time let me open the door,

Come inside my heart and stay,

But only for a little while,

You will be here not less than a day.

Let us cherish the fleeting moment,

That time lets us borrow,

Hold me close in your arms,

For there will never be tomorrow.

Fill the immense bareness within,

With tender touch and embrace,

Hold back the lonesome tears,

And silence the sigh with a kiss.

Let this chance be memorable,

For there shall never be another,

Once and for all let us relive,

The past love we still remember.

After all these we would part again,

It will be time to leave,

Memories of this last encounter,

We will never forget.

I would close the door,

So drop and lose the old key,

Walk out and don't look back,

To the forbidden entry.

Adieu friend, my old flame,

This GOODBYE is lifelong,

This CLOSURE would mean,

A new start of MOVING ON.

Graveyard of Oblivion

As a new day unfolds, I bid goodbye to yesterday,

And pursue the scheme to escape beyond captivity

Of past memory's oppressive chain, I should have fled

To enjoy the freedom of facing what's in store ahead.

Hear out these several words of plaintive apology

That emerged from the sullen heart beating inside of me

My mind screams how genuine is my profound love for thee

But we're meant to be apart as revealed by destiny.

Let me weep at once before you're completely gone,

Dry the tears I shed with the touch of your soft hand

Then, rest in peace my love in the graveyard of oblivion,

For tomorrow I shall love again, I must go on.
