Journey

Have you ever driven down a road?

With no destination in mind.

The road would seem to go on and on,

With no stops to unwind.

 

The journey itself is a challenge,

If you head where few would go.

To find your true inner strength,

That someday would let you grow.

 

You may try your very best,

Though often it may not be enough.

In spite of all your efforts, you may lack answers,

When the road ahead gets rough.

 

To build the world that you have dreamt of,

In your heart and mind.

Do try to make things a little better,

Based on the challenges you find.

 

So, start moving in the directions,

You normally would never go.

And you may just find a new purpose in life,

Leading to ways that make you grow.

 

Where you will find your courage,

Will entirely depend on you.

Many paths and choices will open up,

With various things you can do.

 

There is no right or wrong answer,

You must do what you feel is right.

Go for the path that really suits you,

That lets you sleep at night.

 

So, prepare for your journey ahead,

All your obstacles await.

Remember, it is you who will write your own destiny,

And you are the master of your fate.

 

Though a few things may end unfinished,

No matter where you may roam.

There will always be a part of you,

That is never far from home.

Song Of Silence

 It is not just your conversation

That keeps me entertained.

It is rather the way you look at me

That makes me feel sustained.

It is the glitter in your eyes,

And the curl of your hair.

It is all of the little things

That makes me stop and stare.

 

It is not just your intelligence

That drew me so close to you.

It is not just your sense of humor

That has thrown me all askew.

It's not the touch of your hand

Or the thoughts in your head.

Rather it is all of the little things

The things that don't get said.

 

It's not just your vivid history

That has made me fall in love.

It is not just your comprehension

Of the world around or above.

It is mostly your soft temperament,

And the way you smile at me.

It is all of these little things

That makes me want to see.

 

It is not just when we are talking

That I want to know some more.

It is not just while you sing for me

That I learn what I'm looking for.

It is rather the time we spend alone

And the times in utter silence.

It is all of these little things

That forms our strong alliance.

 

It is not just the job you work so hard,

That shows your true commitment.

It is also not your crazy habits

That gives me a sense of fulfillment.

It is rather the purpose you bring to my life,

A gentle reminder on why I have been chosen.

Thus, it is all of these little things

That form our Song of Silence.

Road To Recovery

After you've recovered, what would you do?

After you've returned back, would you still be you?

Would you grow stronger, would you really be new?

When you have finally recovered from what you've been through?

Would life be better than it was before?

Would you realize your unfulfilled dreams and improve your score?

Would people even bother to remember that you're still there?

Or would they forget you because they had never really cared?

Your life in recovery may not have been the same.

The rules may have changed and it feels like a brand new game.

You need to pick up the pieces and make a fresh start,

Only courage and hope as company will keep you from falling apart.

This new world all around you seems different and changed.

Things that once were within grasp, now seem out of your range,

But you can still recapture your life and fulfill

The dreams that were lost when you were taken ill.

This journey to wellness would take time and is long,

And those that manage to get well are exceptionally strong.

Although the illness could kill, but you are going to survive.

Your goal to recover and chase your dreams would've always kept you alive.

After you've recovered, what would you do?

You have suffered and conquered and saw it all through.

Back from the black and the deepest abyss of despair,

It is time to move forward; it is time to really care.

The Wedding Poem

Our wedding day will be remembered

For all the joy, it brings

A day of love and happiness

Of vows and wedding rings.

A day of new beginnings

Learning what Love truly means

Our wedding day is just the start

Of all our hopes and dreams.

And if life hands us challenges,

As it does to one and all, Our love will hold us steady And never let us fall.

Our wedding day is full of joy;
Tomorrow we cannot see.
But one thing's sure for the both of us:
The best is yet to be.

The Proposal

I always believed I had a pretty good life,
A lot of friends and a lot of stuff.
But after I met you I started to realize,
That being alone anymore is going to be tough.

Not a day goes by where I can't see your face,
Not a day goes by where I don't miss your smile.
My heart and soul longs for your embrace,
And for that I can travel a thousand mile.

So, here I am asking you on bended knee,
Make our love complete, Please marry me.

Mi Amor

Once upon a time, in a land far away
I met a girl who stole my heart, really should have known from the start.
Brighter than the summer sky, fresher than the winter snow
She was the one for me, deep in my heart I did know.

At first I tried hard to pretend
That we could merely be best friends.
But, whenever I would look into her eyes
My heart would always lift my disguise.

There was something, somewhere deep inside
A feeling we could no longer hide.
It started with a kiss which was definitely a bliss
I had to tell her how I felt else I almost thought my heart would melt.

I'm not exactly sure what God has in store,
But I do know this much is true.
She opened up in me, the sides I couldn't see
So sweetheart, I'm starting to fall for you.

I always need you by my side, I'll always take you for a ride
I'll steal your breathe away, with no more words to say.
A lifetime of promises and a world full of dreams,
For only my heart knows, to me what it means.
I'll love you now and I'll love you forever,
Our souls are meant to be together.

Freedom

You may tie me up all around,
You may wrap chains around my feet,
You may clip off my wings,hold me down, close to the ground.
But how will you put chains around my dreams?
Even the saplings rise up slowly, breaking through the hardened soil;
Rising straight towards the bright sun in the sky.
Do you really think you can deny me my freedom?

You may put me on shackles,you may beat me down to death.
But can you really stop the rays of the morning sun,
From reaching me through your prison bars.
How will you monitor and stop my thoughts, my feelings, my desires?
It is a just a matter of time, before I spread my wings,
And like a Phoenix, rise from my own ashes and fly out to kiss the sky.

This is the freedom I wish for me and I wish for you,
A land freed from the shackles of race,color and creed.
A freedom built on equality, unity and peace, and not on hatred and vengeance,
A freedom where we are all free from oppression and exploitation,
And a freedom which leads to happiness of all beings.

Only time will tell, if my dreams will ever come true.
Whether it is the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning,
Whether it is the sunrise or the sunset leading to the dark night ahead.
It looks like the road to heaven but feels like the road to hell,
But we will see this through together, as we will continue to strive ahead,
Listen closely my friend, can you hear the Bells of Freedom.
