Reason to smile...

A new dream
Unreal as it may seem
A new beginning
A new longing…

My heart sings
A new song
A lil heartbeat in me
A lil life in me

I count the days
Plan in many ways
Praying…silently
Waiting … patiently!

Let's get away...

I know solitude is rare
To think,
Of a time gone by

Sitting here humming
That old song…
I sigh …

It’s tempting to get away
Escape to that quiet
Solitude…
Just you and I

Time spent
In your arms
Your gentle touch
Soft kisses
Away from
Eyes that pry…

Memories that gave
Me reason
To smile
And rare occasions

that made
me cry

I smile
As I catch
That familiar
Twinkle
In your eye

I can read your mind
My love
We think alike
You and I …

Love is Special

I think we lose ourselves in thinking too much...sometimes life's not as complicated as we make it out to be. We really shouldn't go looking for problems where there aren't any and I really do believe that when we go looking for trouble, we've already let them in :) .. Below are simple lines to remind us why we need to let go of negativity and embrace a whole lot of loving!!!

Sunshine - bright and happy
Moonshine - warm and cozy

Love is what makes
An ordinary day
So special

Smiles - genuine and soothing
Laughter - candid and refreshing

Love is what makes
Simple feelings
So special


Embrace it
Feel it
Show it
Don't shun it

Love is what makes
You and me
So real

and

So very SPECIAL!

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!

Life's A Roller Coaster

One of my favorite expression is "Life is a roller coaster" :) and isn't it? One moment u have so many reasons to smile and the next could see you facing tears and difficult times. Life's meant to be that way and what is special is our ability to cope with it all...our will to face it all and move ahead ready to take on the next big challenge or celebrate the next big win :)...

Life is like a roller coaster
Sometimes it’s looking up and sometimes down
One minute you’re smiling
In the next, you can’t shake of your frown

That’s the thrill in living your life
Living through the obvious...the unpredictability
The happy times and the times of strife
The desire to grab it all or simply let it be...

You’ve got to live your life
Don’t take for granted the obvious
Don’t run away from the unpredictability
Smile through the happy times
Face the challenge in times of strife
Not a moment to think...
Grab it all
Don’t just let it be!

Life can be the best ever
Giving you more than your share
Life can be the worst ever
Taking away more than you think fair

Yes! life is like a roller coaster
Sometimes it’s looking up and sometimes down
One minute you’re smiling
In the next, you can’t shake of your frown

"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…!
