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?

Unending Race

We Are All Participants In Different
Kinds Of RACE In This Life.

At Every Stopping Point,
We Expect To Claim
The Reward For WINNING,
But No Matter How We Strive,
We Have To Accept That
Sometimes We LOSE.

But We Must Continue
With The Next RACE,
For There's Another Happy START
After Every Sad END...

PRIDE

It takes a lifetime to forget,

It takes much effort to forgive,

It takes a thousand words to converse,

It takes countless tears to heal,

A numerous touch to feel,

Many proofs to show,

Lots of pills to swallow…BITTER PRIDE!

PRIDE! Is man’s confidence,

a defense, a hideaway, a fortress…

But your PRIDE can be your greatest opponent…

It is too powerful to defeat,

too huge to seize, too bitter to gobble up!

If you can’t handle PRIDE, it will conquer you…

Invisible

If I'd be INVISIBLE in a day,
By your side I would choose to stay,
Around you I would wrap my arms,
To the bondage of your powerful charm.

I would creep beyond your notice,
Keep you unaware of my presence,
To release a warm breath into your ear,
And have my fingers rake through your hair.

On your shoulder I would lean my head,
With moves rehearsed and lips muted,
A prolonged kiss of love to touch your cheek,
Lets my soul dive in the depth of your sleep.

I would plead for the time to stand still,
And the hour to delay its travel,
But if there would only be one minute left,
I'll just whisper "YOU'RE THE LOVE I CAN'T FORGET!"

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.
