You
Vira Mar 6
You
From far away, you seem
Distant, quiet, and closed  
Discard anyone’s company but prefer to be in your own!
I came a little bit close, I saw you are -
warm, wise and witty,
Kind and one of your kind!
And a delight to meet!
Taught me a life lesson in humility in one evening!
It’s not very often I meet people who can inspire me so much in one meeting :)
I met a man who is an absolute delight yet so humble and shy.

Healing
Vira Jan 14
I realised that the pattern was repeating over and over.
One day, I decided to face it.
I opened my wounds and surrendered.
Praying for healing,
Feeling the pain.
Then, it came.
I mustered enough courage to sit with the sensations in my body, feeling them, instead of
shutting it, numbing it,
running away, wishing away,
I stood there and faced it.
It was painful.
It felt like
my heart was shattered into thousand pieces.
my gut was wrenched out.
the nerves in my head pulled in all directions.
as if I was looted of every ounce of blood from my body.
It was raw.
It was cathartic.
Tears weren’t enough to bear them. Self pity did not help.
I cried, I begged, I screamed, I wallowed.
Finally, I gave up.
I breathed.
I just breathed, feeling the breath.
I had to let it all in before letting it all go.
Then, came some relief.
I see glimpses of freedom and joy,
It feels like a triumph.
It feels soft.
It feels calm.
It feels good.
It feels god.
That must be the healing.
This is how the process of healing trauma seems to me. I did not know where the pain came from.

All I need…
Vira Dec 2023
I went to God, crying
Begging for release from this cycle of
Neediness, lack of worthiness,
desperation and pain.
She told me…
Why are you asking for pittance of love,
When I have an ocean of love pouring for you…
You are me and I am you.
Take it all and have it all.
With Grandeur and Glory.
This entire cosmos is yours to claim.
Don’t deny it to yourself…

Many come to me seeking this and that,
My offer is the same,
But will you allow yourself to have it all?
All that we need is always inside of us.
Vira Dec 2023
Good bye anxious days,
Good bye anticipation,
Good bye expectation,
Good bye stress,
Good bye over commitment,
Good bye bad attachment,
Good bye cravings,
Good bye pretense,
Welcome freedom
Welcome Boundaries
Welcome free will
Welcome choice
Welcome new possibilities
Welcome space
Welcome carefree-ness
Welcome authenticity
Welcome My self.

Reminiscence…
Vira Nov 2023
I am clear in my head and perhaps in heart that it is not love,
It is my own lack that I look to fill through you.
Isn’t it true that you also felt that you could fill your void with me?  
Isn’t it all what we look for, in a relationship?
Sometimes I want just that…
Why can’t we have our cup filled by someone?
Why is there an image of ideals and perfection…
That we have to be all for ourselves,
Not needing validation.
Why do we strive to be all?
Some thoughts after it doesn’t mean what it was anymore. But there is always the softness for the person…that makes me melt.
Knowing that it is not meant to be yet longing for it…
Vira Nov 2023
Finally,
It comes to an end but not an end
After being the most intense relationship that I had in my own thoughts
Ups and downs like a tornado, now landing exactly where it should be.

It’s an end but not an end,
It exists but it isn’t awake,
It rests unless one of us wakes it up,
And none of us wants to wake it up!
Then, does it actually exist?
It’s dead, but is it?

I
Vira Nov 2023
I
I exist
No matter what...
Despite...

I exist
Fearlessly,
Securely,
Confidently,
Rightfully,
Claiming my space in the universe
I exist...because
I AM.
And I cant be anything else other than ME.
This is a reminder to myself when I seek external validation in order to feel worthy of living. Also to remind ourselves of our inner strength in times of distress.

why o why
Vira Apr 2022
You do this to me
I was away from all the games of love
Trying to gather my pieces and find me my-self
You came and destroyed my entire wit and will
Proving to me that my resolute was next to nill
And I am left longing for you and fancying you every minute
From the moment you met my eyes, with love infinite
You are a gentle soul with the voice, sweetest
You teach me with the thought, kindest  
Full of talent and creativity!
Yet you need my attention? what a pity!
I am a plain jane, to your talents, unmatched
Human nature somehow is indeed complicated
Why o why
Am I worthy of your love? and what if I am not in love?
We perhaps fall in love with the idea of the person rather than the person.

Words waiting to be told
Vira May 2021
Words, waiting to be told – he said

How do I express what I hold
In my soul, in my longing for you to behold

It feels like a desire of a lifetime
Just to hold you once for real, in the hands of mine

I have held you for time immemorial in my soul
The wait seems forever when I will see you for real
Love and longing for a platonic soul mate  - the relationship that can never be...yet can never let go....

Anticipation
Vira Jun 2020
You showing up after years,
How is it going to steer?
Thinking of which, I go insane,
Will you be the same?
Will you look at me with the same intense eyes?
Again, singing the beginning of a thousand new dreams.
A promise of meeting after years,
a request that came from you.
It brought deluge of broken dreams to my consciousness...
Will it leave me as wrecked as before?

The River of Love
Vira Jun 2020
You and me
We come and go
This river of love
it flows forever
though it flows from me to you
I am no one to stop it
It flows because it has to
Can it bridge the emptiness
that thrives between we two?
Years to come will tell
there is enough that is left

Eternal?
Vira Jun 2020
The seedling of this love...refuses to die
Lives with the only reason to make me cry
I have trampled it, scrambled it and buried it
Yet, stubbornly grows stronger every time I **** it
why does this refuse to end? I thought it was over. I buried all the memories and pretended that you were never there.
there was a life before you
there is a life after you
but why is it that I am stuck in a time that belonged to you?

Gone, but not gone
Vira Jun 2020
You are gone but not gone
Out of my physical world
but, come alive in my consciousness
every moment I see
something from your world

You ask me to forget,
Yet, you reach out
How do I behave
as though you are a drop in an ocean
while you are
the precious pearl I have ever known
the pain of this part is unbearable
even more when
you ask me to treat you unknown
You go away but you come back when you want - to start form a square one. You have no idea what you mean to me and how painful to treat you as one among another

Without you
Vira Jun 2020
Without you, it is not the same
Food tastes stale, Moments seem pale
My eyes are searching Unbeknown
When I so surely know you won’t be shown
I imagine you coming along
Those days, they were like a song

Love so intense, could not have been expressed,
Realized it only when I missed
I was so lost in your eyes with no cares of time
Your beautiful light brown eyes peers into mine
As if you want to rip my Self apart and enter my soul
At that moment I feel we are united beyond the physical realm
As if your soul is descending upon mine
Two become one, Beyond the measures of space and time!
This is a tribute to someone with whom there was platonic love that could not have been expressed

— The End —
