Bittersweet

The higher we go
The harder we fall

Bittersweet

Leaves you feeling
Lower than low
Smaller than small

Bittersweet

Sweetness
With a bitter aftertaste

Bittersweet

Helplessly feeling our joy
Go to waste

Bittersweet

Pleasure tinged with sadness
And pain

Bittersweet

Efforts to achieve happiness
All in vain

Bittersweet

Life's cruel little game

Bittersweet

Always a crying shame

dance alive
honey, I want my whole sway
to be with you
the  dip the step on a toe the parlay
my nose tucked so close to your ear
just both of us so lost in the rhythm
no one else there
on that dance floor
one more time
sweets lets grab ***
take one more shot of Cuervo
let's bring home the
band with us
======================================

I like the spices in your new song
That jumps in an expected direction
To teach our tongue to be so long
I will keep it in my musical collection

We can attempt to see connection
How friendly elephants never forget ?
Don't turn away when we need protection
Our worthy life is to credit never to debt

But, be sure , snowman will melt one day
So be true to your thinking, hat, and gloves
That day may be Sunday but not a fun day
So try to be the star, the whole world loves

Jasmine draws my eyes on the highest tree
So that, nothing can be kept hidden from me
I can watch over you, Earth, Sky, and sea
Now ask God what is left for me, yet to see

~~~Jawahar Gupta~~~


P.S...My granddaughter , Jasmine, She has written, Oh my kind grandpa, I've drawn your eyes on the tall
branches of the trees
my kind grandfather( Jawahar Gupta) is a wise man and he really has a beautiful heart :-)
i love him so much,,,
Shall I stop writing
Because you do not read?

Shall I stop trying to get through life
Because you think
I will not succeed?

Shall I stop planting my thoughts -
Each poem a precious seed,

Shall I stop being myself
Because you do not see beauty
In self-expression,
Or because you see a wildflower
As a ****?

What do you want from me?

You be you!
Let me be!

Our individuality
Is what makes us special.
Stay true to yourself!
Master in Slaves
I am in the middle of an ocean surrounded by water
Death is but certain and there is no way for survival
No one to reciprocate between life and death barter
Only death has to come as a mercy as death angel
What can I do nothing but to leave myself to waves
Which in no time will take toll of life and I will just die
I am not over taken but I am one of destined slaves
So my soul is not afraid but ready in pursuit to fly
Transitory life will change in to but permanent abode
My courage and confidence will be written on waves
After a long long struggle I will march just on the road
Hence I will prove myself as master in the slaves

I buy her cheap
can't buy expensive.

It's a gift she says
to give my spirit a lift
you buy low
it gets high on my love

don't ever think
price has a place in happiness
.

She wears the imitation
and the mirror explodes
into thousand stars
with the gift of joy
now not only hers
but inexplicably
spread all over me.

imagine how the rich elite feel
when their pools are spilled
by a wanton elephant
let loose in the backyard
that promised
health care reform and  a
huge big wall
to be built post haste that
might have kept the
mastodon
from
falling into the
cement pond
in the first place
hilarity
did you vote for
Hillary??
People often ask me...

"How do you manage life
Having 5 daughters?"

My reply is always the same...

"I couldn't manage life
Without my 5 daughters!"

on the stairs in front of the old row house
two doors on the front between two Azaleas beautifully
displaying their grandeur
I sit non-competitive with a thing in this world
the paint flaking under my *** on the worn out tongue and groove floor
and a tilted brick post supports the roof
and I am concretely not caring
about peeling paint or the leaky roof
or the neighbor's complaining constantly how my
Gardenia bushes by the property line so full so gorgeous
voluptuously block their view
little things don't matter I sweat them off
because I got some heavy duty
anti-perspirant I cook up myself
don't tell the DEA
If I tell you
That I love you
You can rest assured
That I mean what I say,

If I tell you
That I care about you,
Know, that for you,
I would well and truly
Go out of my way.

For, if I have placed you
Inside my heart,
And you now own
A space inside my mind,

It simply means
That I appreciate you,
I find your uniqueness
To be a blessing -
I believe that you are rare,
One of a kind!

If I tell you
That you are a true friend
To me,

You can rest assured
That I value
Your designed placement
Inside my reality,

Because friendship
Means so much more to me
Than just words,
It means that my soul
Recognises your soul
As a second home,

Meaning that
My soul admires
Your beautiful personality;
And, from it,
My heart
Will never want to roam!

Because, to me,
You are like sunshine,
You are an umbrella
In the rain,

You are as dependable
As each morning sunrise,
You understand
That imperfections and flaws
Make us all unique;
Hence, around you,
I never feel any shame.

So, if I tell you
That I love you
You can rest assured
That I mean what I say,

I wouldn't change
Anything about you,
I wouldn't have our friendship
Any other way!
