Come join us in the garden
Your army days are done
Sit down and take it easy
Enjoy soak up the sun.

Now you need no longer worry
You will never be going back
Relax no need to hurry
Just forget about the past.

You say it's hard to carry on
Leaving the horrors of war behind
You often have those nightmares
From behind the enemy line.

So look now toward the future
The poserbilitys they are vast
There is that new horizon
Even though it's hard to grasp.

Come join us in the garden
Leave those fearful days behind
Look at all the lovely flowers
Representing peaceful times.

Look at this gardens beaughty
The war just had to end
Who knows what lies ahead of you
Your enemy could become your friend.
From the days of war come the time of peace
After the second world war came that new horizon
Never the less wars still continue.I had a friend who suffered PSTD.
To me that says humans are not designed for war.

I never fear of people,
But I fear closeness to them,
I ain't afraid to play,
But I'm afraid of loosing the game,
I'm not afraid of dark nights,
But I'm afraid of loosing myself in that darkness,
I'm never afraid of looking in their eyes,
But I'm afraid of being my secrets getting revealed in front of them...
Some of my fears, which fear me every night, & in my every thought....
Trying to overcome them...:-)

The things of me people don't know about,
Are the things people will always have a doubt....
              Doubt on my appearance,
              Doubt on my race,
              Doubt on my existence,
              Doubt on my base,
              Doubt on my character,
Even doubt on my answer,
                            to their questions...
The things people don't know about,
Are the things they'll always point out
So I've decided now on  myself I won't ever doubt,
& nor on them I'll ever shout,
But to focus on my aim,
& now with me I won't allow them to play any game...
Kuch to log kahenge,
{People will say something}
                    Logo ka kaam h kahena...
                   {People have the work of saying..}
As soon as you will understand it, your life will become easier, cause life is already filled with complications, so why to complicate it with the opinion of those who matter nothing to us...

Have you ever seen those beautiful drops,
Washing all the masks worn on your face,
Leaving your heavy sky blank...
Have you seen those beautiful pearls,
Shading from the corner of you eyes,
Expressing all your hidden pain,
Just with a rain....
Have you ever observed those precious diamonds,
Getting birth from your eyes,
Showing your real beauty,
By washing all you makeup
& showing all your lies...
Have you ever observed those God gifted tears,
Which shows your love, your pain
& washes away all your fears.....

Being with you was
Ice water with mint gum

Loving you was
Wood pages and warm rain

Losing you was
Muffled screams and dry air

Now without you is
Fresh breeze and pomegranate seeds

This blanket brings warmth to most everyone
Yet, when I wrap it around me I seem colder
Yearning to thaw the frost from my bones
Within your arms, I melt while you smolder

pluto
you wake up
his hair is spilled across the pillow,
the sun slants across his cheekbone
and his breath is slow and even.
he smells like an open field
and his body is wrapped around yours
so he keeps you warm.
you think,
there is no moment better than this,
that he is too perfect to exist.
but you wake up gasping,
skin soaked in sweat.
you lie there for a long time,
in your completely empty bed.

We all have that moment when we're silent
That feeling where talking is exhausting
A poet finds solace in the lines
The words are better spoken that way
Its indescribable
Its...
Beyond our vocabulary

A sphere like a bulb
Yet flat at the bottom

Fill me up
With oil

Fill me up
With water

Fill me up
With glycol

It wouldn't bother...

These are my components
And I wear them well

Inside of me is a scene
That's still

Around the holidays I give people
A thrill

I rest atop of old decor
The most fragile gathering

It certainly helps when I ascend
Off ground
It brings a smile to the
Entire crowd

All I need is just one
Good s h a k e
And my scene will start to
Reanimate

White glitter surrounds
My sphere
And when the dust settles
You will see very clear

That I am December
With presents that glow

Just there
Right behind the snow

But I only come alive
From the upside down
What am I?
