Roshni
Why can't I just reveal--
reveal my true feelings for you
Just break the silence one day
and hope you feel this way too
Why can't I just scream at the top of my lungs--
my lungs expelling burdens I've locked up
A sense of empowerment beckons over me
as I imagine just saying 'enough'
Why can't I just talk to you the way--
the way I explain this infatuation to my friends
Slowly going through the reasons I fell
from your beginnings to your ends
I can't let go of this little secret but deep down I know why
Self-doubt arises inside of me and determines no, not I
i havent been myself lately.
and i need you to see it.
you, to see it in my eyes
i'm not okay
no matter
how many times
i say "i'm fine"
i want you
to keep pushing
to keep digging
until i crack
i just need you to see it
i want you to help me...

*(c.m.h)
It may be your laugh,
But it was my happiness.
It may be your smile,
But it was me who was enjoying.
It may be your breath,
But it was me who was feeling alive.
It may be your hug,
But it was me who was showing affection.
And now I see how much you mean to me,
But how little I mean to you.
It may have been your break-up,
but it was me that was broken.
Sometimes, what she shows isn't what she feels.
Sometimes, what you feel isn't what you show.

Love, well love is like a good cup of coffee

We all want to drink it without getting burnt
Tell the ones you Love, that you Love them today, because life can slip to quickly away
Take to time to spend time with family and friends
Today cherish every moment
Today appreciate them for the rare treasure that they are.
I dedicate this poem in memory of Jan, my friend and distant cousin who just passed away due to cancer 7-1-2014

What my reality is
Is not a dream come true
It's a flowing tide of incidents
With people true to who they believe they are supposed to be

What my reality is
Is a mess of circumstance
And an unrivaled openness
That oft scares those afraid of who they are

What my reality is
Is the nightmare that my truth
Leaves me lonely surrounded by those I love

What my reality is
No longer concerns you
