You catch life
one tear at a time
to one day
fill an ocean.
I heard you liked short poems, so here's one for you.
I fell in love with candlelight-
in my darkness, she shone so bright.
She danced the breeze, lit up the night,
her glow consumed my very sight.

But wax and wick both burn away,
and candlelight just cannot stay.
As sure as night turns into day,
that fickle flame will go astray.

But for a moment, through the storm,
she lit my world, she kept me warm,
then flickered out, as is the norm
for candlelight, its fleeting form.

I fell in love with candlelight,
for but a moment, all was right.
Her glow, her dance, consumed my sight,
and faded out at end of night.

Me and love became the best of enemies lately,

Through the shadows of my heart I've blocked its sunlight,

But my eyes had laid perfectly on you during that one night,

I can't forget the feeling,

A love so strong it broke the barriers of my heart all the way from the ceiling,

And if you ask me if I really love you, times yes by a million,

I mean I see things in you that you may not see in yourself,

A queen, a dime piece, a girl who knows her worth,

Makes me wonder sometimes how life would be if I had met you first,

But I can't change the past because I need you as my present,

And not the type that Santa brings when the snowfall's pleasant,

I want you to be mine, and I'm guessing now I'm running out of time,

So I'm hoping I get this message to you,

Give me one chance and I promise I'll never lose you,

Cause at the end of the day when its all said and done, I'll only chose you...

Unveil yourselves
Decipher the lyrics of your life
by fathoming the flaws
The rhythm may not be sublime
but bestow the music of your own,
The music of your worth and love!
🍀We discover many things in our lives which we love and envy for but the thing we always forget is ourselves, our values.The sad fact is that we don't love ourselves.So give a break from what you are doing now and discover the you in you.Their maybe many flaws, but try to love those flaws because those flaws makes the real you.Don't envy the things what others doing rather be yourself do the thing you love which will eventually make others envy on you!🍀

Everyday I unlatch my book of 'mind'
Unfailingly clinging to the page of 'memories'
My days went by tearing up all day
ruminating back the doleful moments.

One day I questioned myself
"How can I get over this agony?".
A sudden rumbling voice snapped back my thoughts,
then I heard an arrant afar in a hushed tone  'let go'  'let go'  'let go'!
🍁To 'let go' also means to give up resisting and struggling to hold on to meaningless issues in exchange for powerful and wholesome moments that come our way by allowing and accepting unchangeable realities that come by in our daily lives. Accept 'what is', and let go of what was!🍁

She is the incarnation of true love
The love that is enigmatic!
She is every beats of my heart
The heart which is abundant with her love
She is the soul to my body
The body which she prudent with her love and care
She is the mentor of my life
The life where she immersed me with euphoria
She is the light of my darkness
The light of hope and encouragement
Her qualities are beyond the horizon
She loves me to the eternity, so do I

I will love her every bit,
But it saddens me that even if I give all my  love to her it will always be a shortcoming.
Because her love for me is enigmatic !!

But  still "oh dear mother I love thee!!"
MOTHER'S LOVE IS BLISS;IS PEACE!!💖

A love that is inexplicable!☺
toward western hills
the last vestiges of light
sink as day draws down
