at night we look over the city
illuminated by a kind of shifting gold
it makes me fall in love with it
and all its beauty -
but most of all, i fall in love with
you and the way you share this with me;
this moment, this place, and yourself -
my heart feels like it wants to stay,
allow you to have me for the rest of our lives,
and my body is already leaving,
so close to the airport gate,
while you watch me with that look in your eyes
that makes me want to turn around
and wipe my tears and stay with you
for as long as our lives allow me to.
(another day will have to come for both of us;
we will not see the dawn together, but it will come)
finally a poem that is (kind of) happy?

shapi is leaving, the old man cried
shapi is going when she should stay, he said
lord knows i've done everything; i've tried
        she came into my life in a blaze of glory
        she of the dimples and the dancing eyes
        she was a breeze come whispering
        she of the rich ***** and coy smile
the story of my life was done; i was sated and glad
        when shapi set foot into my home and my heart
        she was a warm song on coldest winter nights
and a cooling effect when the humidity was unbearable
        the old man with several days' stubble wept sorely
        as his memories teased and tormented him
        shapi's sensuous figure haunted him still
        the artistry expended in her making
             the fluidity of her graceful curves
               life had never been this kind
                   where the things that bind
                  were concerned ...
  now shapi was leaving and he was alone
and the cloud of dust raised by the old bus
        choked his memory and dimmed his eyes
     those who had never seen and old man cry
    were hushed by his gushing tears and by his wailing
                as shapi left him, never again to return
Oversleeping in the morning

Make a playlist of your favourite songs.Sit in the backseat of your car.Let someone else take the wheel.Just go for a long drive.Now as the car drives along the road at full throttle,start playing the songs and close your eyes.....as the air outside cuts through and hits your face with utter disdain and sheer ferocity...the combined effect of the music and the air outside will take you to a new world of ecstasy.The feeling will be *******.You will never want the ride to end.Now think of that one memory of your life which stands out...the one memory which you want to go back to all the time.Keep playing this in your head over and over again.Imagine yourself all alone..floating amongst clouds of euphoria.You are now connected with your inner self.Every single nerve in your body feels alive.The process is complete.When the ride ends you will feel as if you've found something rare,something undescribable...something close to pure bliss.

My personal recommendation of artistes for the playlist:-
1)Coldplay
2)U2
3)Hoobastank
4)Dj Sammy
5)Armin van Buuren
