<p class="MsoNormal">Of lush green forests and mountains so high.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of ancient temples and palaces,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is running in my veins, I surmise.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Love for the Ganges and the Yamuna,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of the Thar Desert and the Kerala backwaters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know deep down but cannot share,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My love is for all of it and more, today I must swear.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I love a land of incense and spices,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of vibrant colors and cultures.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of diverse people and traditions,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of history and mythology.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I love her towering snowcapped mountains,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her ancient cities so grand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her beauty and her mystery,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The sight of colorful saris and turbans.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A land of lush green forests,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Where monkeys swing from the trees;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of mighty rivers that flow through,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The heart of my country.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A land of colorful festivals,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Where the people dance and sing,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The stories of the Gods and Goddesses,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And the sense of communion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My emerald-hearted country,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Such a magical and mystical land.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Those who have not loved her,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Will never ever understand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Though the earth holds many wonders,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wherever I may die,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know to what country<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Today I may be far away,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My love for her is strong.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She will always be my home,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My heart, my soul, my song.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will always be a proud Indian,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No matter where I might be.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My roots are still in India,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And my soul belongs to thee.<o:p></o:p></p>Abhishek

To My Mother<p>A mother's love is like the ocean,</p><p>Deep and vast and ever-flowing.</p><p>It is a love that is unconditional,</p><p>A love that knows no bounds.</p><p><br /></p><p>A mother's love is like the sun,</p><p>Warm and bright and ever shining.</p><p>It is a love that gives life,</p><p>A love that makes everything seem right.</p><p><br /></p><p>A mother's love is like the stars,</p><p>Unseen but ever-present.</p><p>It is a love that is always there,</p><p>Even when you are far away.</p><p><br /></p><p>My mother, you are the light of my life,</p><p>The sun, that warms me on the coldest of nights.</p><p>You are the strength that I draw on when I am weak,</p><p>The hope that sustains me when I am lost.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are the love that I cherish above all else,</p><p>The one person in the world who I know will always be there for me.</p><p>You are my mother, my friend, my rock, my safe haven, The one I can always count on, no matter what.</p><p><br

have taught me so much in life,</p><p>And I am so grateful for all your sacrifices for me.</p><p>You have made me the person I am today,</p><p>And I am so blessed to have you as my mom.</p><p><br

of Freedom<p>You may bind me with chains,</p><p>But my spirit will never be tamed.</p><p>You may tie me down,</p><p>But my soul will always soar.</p><p>You may silence my voice,</p><p>But my words

Let It Go<p>Like the warm wind whispering through the trees,</p><p>your undaunting spirit lifts me,</p><p>teaching me valuable lessons.</p><p><br /></p><p>I keep waiting patiently to grow in the light of your eyes,</p><p>seeking approval, </p><p>knowing that there is a comfort in your silent embrace;</p><p>as I listen carefully to what it offers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I often feel the joy in your laughter and your trusting eyes,</p><p>as I learn to devote myself, for no judgment is passed.</p><p>At times, when sadness fills my heart with disappointment,</p><p>and I seek protection from the un-withering storm;</p><p>it is only then that I realize the depth of our love, </p><p>sewn together with an unbreakable thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>I now understand, that the fabric only gets better with age.</p><p>That it should be handled with care,</p><p>and sometimes, just sometimes it has to rain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have finally discovered my own beauty,</p><p>through the lessons learned while discovering yours.</p><p>Just like a beautiful sky after the storm,</p><p>your undaunting courage to break free of the clouds</p><p>still amazes me.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun.</p><p>It is such a precious gift that you have given,</p><p>appreciating its gentleness as I sigh with thankfulness,</p><p>recognizing my fortune.</p><p><br /></p><p>An unwavering bond that knows only</p><p>love, that is unconditional.</p><p>Nurturing with grace and acceptance.</p><p>How lucky I am,</p><p>to share a piece of my life with the soul that so perfectly fits mine.</p><p>A puzzle with a lot of missing pieces,</p><p>is finally complete.</p><p><br /></p><p>My blessings are abundant,</p><p>as I thank God for these warm whispering winds.</p><p>For they remind me every single day,</p><p>to celebrate the gift of our love, to hold it close,</p><p>and to never let it go.</p>Abhishek

To Bid Adieu<p> I can tell you for sure, I am not that good with words,</p><p>And you know I am really not that articulate.</p><p>I do not like to talk about my feelings,</p><p>Or rather anything at all, you can bet.</p><p>But still I have marshalled these words just to tell you,</p><p>Something that is too important to forget.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like all things whether good or bad, must end some day,</p><p>It is finally the time to end my pleasant stay, today.</p><p>Soon, I shall be truly thousands of miles away,</p><p>Though my heart and mind will be here, forever to stay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, oh my dear friends, for being so very near.</p><p>Thank you, all my mentors and professors, for being my seer.</p><p>Very soon, we shall all be rolling in life's top gear.</p><p>Farewell, oh farewell, University of Cambridge.</p><p><br /></p><p>These couple of months have sadly ended fast.</p><p>Yet, we all know that we cannot hold on to the past.</p><p>So, maybe, for now, we do bid our farewell last,</p><p>But we shall definitely cross paths again, although the world is vast.</p>Abhishek

and I<p> One day I'd love to be your comfort,</p><p>Wrap you like a blanket when you're confused.</p><p>Sing you a bright song on every dark day,</p><p>And be the warmth and hope that you can't lose.</p><p>I'd love to be the roof to cover you,</p><p>When all of life's storms may come your way.</p><p>I can be the one you've always longed for,</p><p>Because in your eyes I see the words you can't say.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let us both discard the old frayed sweater,</p><p>It no longer fits, it's come undone.</p><p>You don't need words to get my attention,</p><p>Let us just hold hands, and have some fun.</p><p>Your eyes could light the skies tonight,</p><p>That smile of yours, melts my heart.</p><p>With my guitar I'd play sweet love songs,</p><p>This is our time, when our true love starts.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can drift off to sleep on my shoulder,</p><p>It's a pillow only made for you.</p><p>I get so euphoric when I feel your heart beat,</p><p>To finally realize that my dreams are coming true.</p><p>On being with you I am filled with wonder,</p><p>A kiss good night, with nothing to hide.</p><p>On break of dawn, you'll be my first sight,</p><p>This is how it feels, when our worlds collide.</p>Abhishek

Struggle Within<p> Our lives may not be immune to the impacts of time,</p><p>nor is our mind between emotions of love and hate.</p><p>That is why I keep cursing this wanderlust heart,</p><p>which aimlessly searches for that wandering star,</p><p>without a guide, or a love to call my own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I prefer to move forward and not to look back,</p><p>but sometimes certain scents keep reminding me.</p><p>That I'm a summer heart placed in this wicked winter,</p><p>like a child frozen in the passages of adulthood.</p><p><br /></p><p>All my life I have been a seeker,</p><p>trying to find purity in diseased hearts.</p><p>Fighting against corrupt minds and principles,</p><p>but I hurt nobody even when they pushed me.</p><p>In return the pain was never about the physical but the mental.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even in the obscured world of nightmares,</p><p>My heart always lit up like a diya, full of dreams.</p><p>However, it was often misplaced in a place of misunderstanding,</p><p>since I chose silence over emotions and violence, </p><p>during my struggles with the fabrications of reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am just a black sheep in an otherwise white herd,</p><p>opposing the shepherds and the dogs who couldn't put me in line.</p><p>I am a clean soul in this dirty social order,</p><p>just another peaceful heart who is seeking a place to call home.</p>Abhishek

style="text-align: left;">Have you ever driven down a road?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">With no destination in mind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">The road would seem to go on and on,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">With no stops to unwind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">The journey itself is a challenge,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">If you head where few would go.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">To find your true inner strength,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">That someday would let you grow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">You may try your very best,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Though often it may not be enough.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">In spite of all your efforts, you may lack answers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">When the road ahead gets rough.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">To build the world that you have dreamt of,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">In your heart and mind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Do try to make things a little better,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Based on the challenges you find.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">So, start moving in the directions,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">You normally would never go.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">And you may just find a new purpose in life,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Leading to ways that make you grow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Where you will find your courage,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Will entirely depend on you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Many paths and choices will open up,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">With various things you can do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">There is no right or wrong answer,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">You must do what you feel is right.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Go for the path that really suits you,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">That lets you sleep at night.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">So, prepare for your journey ahead,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">All your obstacles await.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Remember, it is you who will write your own destiny,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">And you are the master of your fate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Though a few things may end unfinished,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">No matter where you may roam.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">There will always be a part of you,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That keeps me entertained.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is rather the way you look at
me<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That makes me feel sustained.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is the glitter in your eyes,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And the curl of your hair.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is all of the little things<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That makes me stop and stare.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is not just your intelligence<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That drew me so close to you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is not just your sense of
humor<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That has thrown me all askew.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It's not the touch of your hand<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Or the thoughts in your head.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Rather it is all of the little
things<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The things that don't get said.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It's not just your vivid history<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That has made me fall in love.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is not just your comprehension<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Of the world around or above.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is mostly your soft temperament,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And the way you smile at me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is all of these little things<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That makes me want to see.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is not just when we are talking<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That I want to know some more.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is not just while you sing for
me<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That I learn what I'm looking for.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is rather the time we spend
alone<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And the times in utter silence.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is all of these little things<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That forms our strong alliance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is not just the job you work so
hard,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That shows your true commitment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is also not your crazy habits<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That gives me a sense of fulfillment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is rather the purpose you bring
to my life,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">A gentle reminder on why I have
been chosen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Thus, it is all of these little
things<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That form our Song of Silence.<o:p></o:p></p>Abhishek Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00520456336028167327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86914976430666441.post-90204680611530682852021-05-07T08:55:00.000-07:002021-05-07T08:55:00.639-07:00Road To Recovery<p>After you've recovered, what would you do?</p><p>After you've returned back, would you still be you?</p><p>Would you grow stronger, would you really be new?</p><p>When you have finally recovered from what you've been through?</p><p><br /></p><p>Would life be better than it was before?</p><p>Would you realize your unfulfilled dreams and improve your score?</p><p>Would people even bother to remember that you're still there?</p><p>Or would they forget you because they had never really cared?</p><p><br /></p><p>Your life in recovery may not have been the same.</p><p>The rules may have changed and it feels like a brand new game.</p><p>You need to pick up the pieces and make a fresh start,</p><p>Only courage and hope as company will keep you from falling apart.</p><p><br /></p><p>This new world all around you seems different and changed.</p><p>Things that once were within grasp, now seem out of your range,</p><p>But you can still recapture your life and fulfill</p><p>The dreams that were lost when you were taken ill.</p><p><br /></p><p>This journey to wellness would take time and is long,</p><p>And those that manage to get well are exceptionally strong.</p><p>Although the illness could kill, but you are going to survive.</p><p>Your goal to recover and chase your dreams would've always kept you alive.</p><p><br /></p><p>After you've recovered, what would you do?</p><p>You have suffered and conquered and saw it all through.</p><p>Back from the black and the deepest abyss of despair,</p><p>It is time to move forward; it is time to really care.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Abhishek Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00520456336028167327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86914976430666441.post-32870331237762840242017-08-17T14:57:00.001-07:002021-05-04T07:52:15.119-07:00The Wedding Poem<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Once upon a time, in a land far away<br />
I met a girl who stole my heart, really should have known from the start.<br />
Brighter than the summer sky, fresher than the winter snow<br />
She was the one for me, deep in my heart I did know.<br />
<br />
At first I tried hard to pretend<br />
That we could merely be best friends.<br />
But, whenever I would look into her eyes<br />
My heart would always lift my disguise.<br />
<br />
There was something, somewhere deep inside<br />
A feeling we could no longer hide.<br />
It started with a kiss which was definitely a bliss<br />
I had to tell her how I felt else I almost thought my heart would melt.<br />
<br />
I'm not exactly sure what God has in store,<br />
But I do know this much is true.<br />
She opened up in me, the sides I couldn't see<br />
So sweetheart, I'm starting to fall for you.<br />
<br />
I always need you by my side, I'll always take you for a ride<br />
I'll steal your breathe away, with no more words to say.<br />
A lifetime of promises and a world full of dreams,<br />
For only my heart knows, to me what it means.<br />
I'll love you now and I'll love you forever,<br />
Our souls are meant to be together.</div>

You may tie me up all around,<br />
You may wrap chains around my feet,<br />
You may clip off my wings,hold me down, close to the ground.<br />
But how will you put chains around my dreams?<br />
Even the saplings rise up slowly, breaking through the hardened soil;<br />
Rising straight towards the bright sun in the sky.<br />
Do you really think you can deny me my freedom?<br />
<br />
You may put me on shackles,you may beat me down to death.<br />
But can you really stop the rays of the morning sun,<br />
From reaching me through your prison bars.<br />
How will you monitor and stop my thoughts, my feelings, my desires?<br />
It is a just a matter of time, before I spread my wings,<br />
And like a Phoenix, rise from my own ashes and fly out to kiss the sky.<br />
<br />
This is the freedom I wish for me and I wish for you,<br />
A land freed from the shackles of race,color and creed.<br />
A freedom built on equality, unity and peace, and not on hatred and vengeance,<br />
A freedom where we are all free from oppression and exploitation,<br />
And a freedom which leads to happiness of all beings.<br />
<br />
Only time will tell, if my dreams will ever come true.<br />
Whether it is the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning,<br />
Whether it is the sunrise or the sunset leading to the dark night ahead.<br />
It looks like the road to heaven but feels like the road to hell,<br />
But we will see this through together, as we will continue to strive ahead,<br />
Listen closely my friend, can you hear the Bells of Freedom.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When everything goes wrong, and my life runs amok,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I always think of you, and somehow get off the hook;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the midst of the chaos and ruin, you make my heart sing;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You’re my inner peace, my happiness, my everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Life without you went fine, but it was just okay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I spent my life aimlessly, getting through each new day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that you're here; love, joy and pleasure I see,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each second is filled with renewed motivation and sweet ecstasy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I never ever knew about real happiness;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I never thought that one's dreams could come true;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I never really believed in unconditional love,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the yesteryears, until I finally met you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had loved you then,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And I love you still;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do adore you now,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And I always will.</span></div>

She's dressed in black working along,<br />
On this last shift of the night,<br />
Working swiftly through the orders,<br />
With no one else at sight.<br />
<br />
Who knows what goes through her mind,<br />
As she prepares one after the other without a break,<br />
She has perfected all every single step,<br />
Like she's a ballerina on The Swan Lake.<br />
<br />
Her hair flows dark just like the darkest of nights,<br />
The Silver Brooch on her head jingles as she turns to the sides,<br />
She brings out the Moon with the sweetest of smiles,<br />
But she scare me off by taking her earrings aside.<br />
<br />
Her ears really shows her undaunted spirit.<br />
This is one girl who is not scared to fight,<br />
This is one girl who wants to make things right,<br />
This is one girl who is much more than what is in sight,<br />

<br />
True love leads to the sacrifice of the love that we give,<br />
It takes less and yet gives us so more;<br />
An everlasting feeling of eternal love,<br />
Turns our heart to an open door.<br />
<br />
The willingness to give up yourself,<br />
To lay down your own life and happiness;<br />
In order to touch another person's heart,<br />
Is the true love in form of the sacrifice.<br />
<br />
This is a chance that God has given you,<br />
To reach and touch another soul;<br />
Shall forever be changed by kindness,<br />
The life your love has made whole.<br />
<br />
Every life is but a circle,<br />
Every life is just part of the chain;<br />
Every link is joined by sacrifice,<br />
That causes man to love and to change.<br />
<br />
Let us turn and reach out with a hand of love,<br />
In order to touch one another's life;<br />
Which Will cause the circle to be complete,<br />
In an act of loving sacrifice.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Tonight I had my chance to witness</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">The moon in full bloom;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Felt awed by its resplendent beauty</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Lighting up the night sky.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">I had my chance to be moonstruck</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">By the beauty of the Moonflower;</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">So exotic, pure and so rare; </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">So heavenly like the Holy angel.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Tonight I have seen the Moonflower bloom.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">I have witnessed its beauty piercing </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">My heart like cupid's arrows; </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">That leaves me with sweet mortal wounds. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">There are times when I felt forsaken.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">When the moon went down and the sun arose,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Burning away the soft night skies,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">And the Moonflower along with it.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Sometimes I wonder what would happen,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">If the sun had no moon to chase every day.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Our night skies would be dark forever,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">As the starlight is no surrogate </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">For the blooming moonshine.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">And that is when the sun in me,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Would slowly turn out to be a white-dwarf;</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">Just a cold empty shell of a being,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">That grieves for its lost love.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">I would really long,for that friendly smile,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">On those cold days, to reignite,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">The warmth held within my heart.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">But, I am afraid I may have lost mine,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">In the collection of false hopes;</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif;">My Moonflower has slowly withered away.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Dedicated to my beloved Moonflower. May you be happy and in full bloom wherever you are.</span></div>

Have you ever known, what it really feels like,<br />
When your every thought tends to strangle you from the inside.<br />
Have you ever known, what it really feels like,<br />
When your every single teardrop, you know you must hide.<br />
<br />
Have you ever known, what it really feels like,<br />
When your realize your near ones don't know who you are.<br />
Have you ever known, what it really feels like,<br />
When your near ones are the ones you start to fear.<br />
<br />
Have you ever known, how bad your life can be,<br />
When you are dying all alone, with no one else to see.<br />
Have you ever known, how your life could be a pain,<br />
When no one else can see your tears as you walk through the rain.<br />
<br />
Have you ever known, how far you should go and fight,<br />
Before you finally give in to the pain and end your night.<br />
Have you ever known, that feeling which keeps lingering on,<br />
Always reminding you that you'll never see the break of dawn.<br />
<br />
Have you ever known, the slightest hint of a secret inspiration,<br />
Which makes you move ahead, in midst of utter desperation.<br />
The heart bleeds through this pen, as I write down these words,<br />
What my heart has had to bear, while living among double edged swords.<br />
<br />
I can't blame no one, since I brought this fate upon me,<br />
Like a quicksand it shall pull me in, the more I try to be free.<br />
Have you ever seen a man smile, even when he is in utmost sorrow,<br />
I'll continue hiding behind the smiling face hoping for a better tomorrow.</div>Abhishek Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00520456336028167327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86914976430666441.post-17724659249626196862011-12-07T22:43:00.001-08:002016-04-03T22:24:06.200-07:00Christmas 2011<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
All the Children lay in their beds on that special night,<br />
Eagerly waiting for break of dawn with their eyes closed tight.<br />
Early in the morning they would all, gather round the Christmas tree,<br />
Everyone of them with smile on their faces, oh what a sight for us to see.<br />
The brightly lit up christmas tree along with the shining star,<br />
With the entire family gathered around it, let joy have no bar.<br />
In Christmas unselfishness thrives, and the trust is really strong,<br />
The sole purpose of Christmas is to give, and send love along.<br />
This is the time of the year, for joy and happiness too,<br />
Good wishes to all of you, may all your dreams come true.<br />
We must pray for our loved ones, who are all so dear,<br />
Specially for those, who today cannot be near.<br />
If we could use this healthy recipe,<br />
We know we definitely will remember,<br />
To be in the Christmas spirit,<br />
Even when it's not December.<br />
<br />
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!!!!<br />
