I miss you everyday

but

I miss myself more.

Heart is not a safe,

it holds no treasure

to replace.

It is a sacred place

what lies within

remains forever sacred,

irreplaceable.

Tears fall silently,

remembering the departed,

sadness surrounds me.

Hello, I am Blue,

and I’m in love with you.

I wrote this song, brand new,

only for you.

I love every shade of blue—

it reminds me of the vast sky

and the deep ocean,

just like my love for you.

Last night I dreamt of you,

hope my dream will come true.

Or else

I’ll always remain blue.

If you choose

to be a student

anyone or anything

           can

be your teacher.

A girl child
when born
to a family

is

either
seen as

a

burden to be
disposed of

or

too precious a treasure
kept hidden for protection

but

not once considered
as a human being.

Flowers bloom

only for a while,

teaching us

to value life.

They bloom

to remind us

to smile,

when we forget.

When lovers die,

where does their love go?

Can anyone find it,

or is it lost forever?

There exists an ocean

of words—

beautiful and meaningful.

Yet, sometimes

someone finds

just one word,

powerful enough

to turn a life

upside down.

Poets come.

Poets go.

Poems remain—

left behind for someone

to read,

to admire,

and

to inspire

the next generation

to pick up the pen.
