Keep Smiling,
Even when blood flows all around you,
even if you see your own blood
drenching your dead body.
Even when the hawks descend on you
Get up and Awake from the ashes
Be the Change..

Keep smiling
for
India will save itself

But it may take time
for people to realise
that this is too bad

Even ****** did not last
History will repeat itself
And a new India will be borne

But it will take its own time
The question is ..
What is this time?
How long?
How fast?
How many more to die?
What will be the new form?
Keep writing..
Keep talking.
Keep working.
Inspire others..
Be active..
Be the change...
and ...

Keep smiling...
Even when blood flows all around you...
Keep smiling...
For
this will not last for ever..

i don't mean to
close the door

but for the record
my heart is sore

you blew through me
like bullet holes

left stains on my sheets
and stains on my soul

seen my darkest days,    
you gave each one to me.

Thy sweet scent of rose petals in the book
Melts with the letters through its flipping pages,
Patterns of beauty and fragrance took,
The breath beneath the speaking lines of ages;
If these petals stayed through the years,
Will their lovely scent proclaimed my love to thee?
And the book who witnessed thy petals’ tears,
Will it be purged by the lines we longed to keep?
Like these fragments of roses confined through words,
Leave dark traces of circled loss and love
So is life sings with sweet lines and bitter chords,
Infinity remains underneath our feelings and above;
You are, my love, were these traces of petals,
In our book of love, they will forever last.

you made flowers          grow
             in my         lungs
and although they             are
                         beautiful
i can't  *******              breathe

When friendships have been lost and found
Hunting wildly for common ground
Realisation that there's people out there
that have looked for you for so long
because they missed your friendship
It means so much
It touches my heart in ways I can't explain
Other than throuh my tears of feeling blessed
When someone sees your light
Even at times when it was the dullest
Decades go past
Your not forgotten
Your held dear within their heart
So dear they look through empty spaces
Searching under pebble and stone
Until at last your found
Today I feel very blessed ...
Today a friend I worked with 3 decades ago and haven't seen for 27 years came for lunch ... X
