I smile and I pray

*sigh* time flies...and here I am completing one year in this blog. Yes tomorrow 16th March is the first anniversary of my fav blog (out of the 4 that I have). What a year it's been...full of mixed emotions. Some happiness, some pain...some letting go...some acceptance. Through it all I've cherished this blog the most coz this is where I've let my heart speak...in simple words that sometimes rhyme...that sometimes sing my hearts tune...that sometimes just cry my silent tears...

I don't get here as often as I do at my other blogs...I don't write poems that often. And some times revisiting some memories is difficult but yes, there are some memories here which make me smile...too...I love this space of mine...it is the closest to my heart...and will always be so! And the only way to celebrate that is by posting the following lines... :-) (This is my 20th poem here...)

Who says life’s got to be fair
Who says people are gonna care
I don’t want to complain
But life can sometimes be such a pain!

Sometimes life’s so beautiful
And sometimes life’s simply sad
You can’t live following any fixed rule
You gotta know don’t you?
You can never be prepared enough for the bad!

But I wake up each day
With yesterday’s despair left behind
I smile and I pray...to help me face each day
Its dreams, hopes and desires
With an open and strong mind!

"Parties..."

This one was written after I browsed through the papers...Page 3...u see! But it could be true for parties that regular people (read "I"!) frequent. I like this one because it is one of the most spontaneous ones I've penned :)...

I love parties 
Foot tapping music
Loud conversations
Hugs…kisses in the air
A naughty joke
Interesting observations

I love parties
Pretty clothes
Shimmering eye shadow
Lipstick leaving
Tell tale marks
I greet a friend
I avoid a foe

I love parties
I drink
One too many
 
I dance…I laugh
Intoxicated
I catch your eye
I know that look
I’ll take my chances
Life’s not always about
Going by the book

I love parties
The sense of freedom
The spontaneity
The cozy corners
The dim lights
Passionate encounters
Soon forgotten
Jealous spouses
Stupid fights

I love parties
Fodder for gossip
Excuses to shed
Inhibitions
Reasons to smile
Long into the night
I don’t miss many
Just skip a few
Once in a while

*sigh*…yes…I do…love parties…!

Love...

These lines were written sometime back...when I was in the mood to just scribble something on love :-) ... and published on our "anniversary" :) ...

His voice sends shivers
Down my spine
I know my heart is
No longer mine

His kiss makes me
Long for more
I love him
That I know
For sure

His touch…mmmmm…His touch
Drives me crazy
I know…yes…I know
This isn’t…This can’t be
A simple maybe

*******************************

I once read this line
"I love you so much it hurts"
Now I know
This line is mine

I feel I’ve gone back in time
Back to when I was sixteen
*sigh*…I want to live this feeling forever
If this is a dream,
Don’t…Don’t wake me up ever!

You Know What I mean?

Another all time favorite poem :)! Because it's got such a positive feel and one I always end up sharing with friends when they feel low and down. It's simply to remind us all that "Life's all about living and living it with a positive attitude"!!! :)

I hate it when people complain 

Never happy about anything 

Life is always a pain 

They have that look on their face 

It’s constant I tell you 

Not just a phase 

Mornings are bad 

Evenings sad 

Makes you wonder 

Really 

Doesn’t it drive them mad? 

I love life 

Through good times and bad 

Frowns don’t last…you know 

When I think of the happiness 

I’ve had 

Every cloud has a silver lining 

Every fall should make you stronger 

Take a look around you 

People care about you 

You will realize 

You can’t be sad much longer 

Think of it this way 

I care that’s why I’m telling you this 

You have to listen to what I say 

Just want to see you happy each day 

Take each day as it comes 

 If today makes you happy 

You’ll look forward to tomorrow 

 I know I am right…just look 

Wait…watch and see!
