No expensive gifts,
No luxurious life,
No relationships!
Just the sparkle of eyes,
And exchange of chaming smiles!
Some untouched feelings,
Some unrevealed truths!
Seriously some beautiful relationships,
Not by bodies but  by souls..

If all life meant for me to do was smile,
I'd spend the rest of mine making coffee.

Swimming in the sea
searching precious shining pearl
to light my dark life

Sometimes,
The hardest part.
Is realizing that..
We are







Alive

I'm the shadow
Casted by the sun,
Feeling small
As the day's begun.

I watch people
With nameless faces
Go places
With no destination,
No purpose.

I watch them with
Bruised ribcages
And flowers blooming from their arms,
Pretending to be a part
Of the crowd,
Pretending to fit in.

Their hearts are shattered to dust,
But they fix it
With stiches and staples that turned to rust,
Pretending all the pieces fit

Their shirts are filled
With pins and needles,
that poke their skin
Pretending not to notice
The emptiness filling in.

But I stay put.
My shadow is too small to notice,
Too scared to move.
My mind is almost as broken as theirs,
But my door is fully open,
Not pretending.

It's not
   just  about  where
       your dreams
                will
                take
                you.
                  It's
          where you
                 take
        your dreams.

               Define
          your dreams,
              develop
       a plan to obtain
                those
              dreams
                 and
           track your
   progress -- making
                sure
          your dreams
                 and
            your plans
              are one
                 and
            the same.

                   If
            you want
                  it,
             go get it.
