Far far away from you

in some corner of the universe

somewhere in the unknown —

is there any place

I can call home?

A place of peace and quiet,  

where happiness also lives.

Sometimes, very rarely,
if you are lucky,
you might meet someone
out of nowhere—
who teaches you
to smile,
even when your heart
is heavy with pain
and your eyes
are filled with tears.

Poetry and love

both came uninvited.

Poetry stayed,

love went away .

Outside your world

I stay —

not wishing, not waiting,

and no, not stalking,

only gazing from afar

like I gaze at the stars

and the Moon.

Memories are like clouds—

some are like the white fluffy ones

floating carelessly in the sky

bringing happiness and joy

putting a smile on the face

                    and

some are like the dark clouds

that stays, bringing with them

thunder and lightning

causes pain in the heart

and bring tears to the eyes.

Truth doesn't change

just because you choose

not to believe it.

When the river of love

dries up

heart turns into desert

without any oasis in sight.

What was love once

turned into memories,  

memories turned into ink,

ink turned you into poetry,

poetry made you immortal.

If you have wealth and money,

keep it to yourself.

If you have empathy and love,

share them with the world.

Billions of stars in the sky

only one close enough

is all it takes

to light up the earth.

Billions of people in the world,

only one special enough

is all it takes

to light up a heart.
