People think I am strong
                                They are wrong
But I just soldier on
                               I am just a pawn
My kindness
                              Is my weakness
I love with my all
                      That is my down fall
I try to put up this wall
                         I try to stand tall
But I get knocked down
                     Fear that i will drown
In a pool of tears
                     Created by my fears
I am weak
                   But I don't act meek
I turn the other cheek
               While I continue to seek
The strength within
                                Trying to win
Kindness is my weakness

We could never be that poster couple
              so we ripped it up...
Cardboard cut-out wannabes.

We were the arguing every
                          4 minutes kind of love,
Never knowing what we would be.

From the moment of our mornings,
           we each wondered were we
      hurricanes in teacups or soft breezes.

We were never going be soppy smiles
            more like smiles
                and words that threw our
true emotions out there.

If your sky is grey
let me paint it blue,
if you need love
I’ll love you.

If your heart is broken
I’ll wrap you in my wings,
I’ll sing a sweet song
reassurance it will bring.

If you need a friend
I’m always there,
I’ll pick the stars
and place them in your hair.

When you feel alone
don’t be afraid to call,
for I’ll always catch you
if you stumble and fall.

If you’re sad and blue
just remember,
I’m your friend
I’ll always love you!

Hello Poetry to me is just another joint family
How by a common bond, here we are strung together
Though separated by geographical boundaries
Distance has never been a hitch or a tether

Your relentless encouragement helps me aim for heights
Your heart felt blessings give me loads of happiness
Your poems open before me new avenues of thought
Your gracious company creates for me a new ambience

Before my eyes, a hundred smiling faces appear in a row
Some stand out as beacons of radiant light
With words of encouragement, you vanquish all my doubts
Revitalizing my spirit and leaving it shimmering bright

Through this forum we share our inmost thoughts
How close we feel though never been together
Many have left the scene leaving trails of footprints
And many join fresh to continue the endeavor

Irrespective of creed we are here at art’s sacred shrine
‘Poets’ we are called and we breathe the scented pride
We stand tall among many others of our species
Let us proclaim aloud our fraternity worldwide!

Gorgeous is the woman
with storms in her eyes,
a bruised soul
and many scars
but still dares to open up,
to trust with her heart
and fall in love
that is a woman
who bleeds stardust
and cries
tears of pure love….
