smile
sacred shore
roll in with the waves
into my soul
I long
to be drowned
in the ebb tide
of your love
beatitude
dawn
breaks
in my world
when your lips part
in a smile
…..
in giggles, my beautiful sister ❤
resounding particles
the sun rises
burns brightly
shows its might
then dies a death
in your world every night;
the full moon
in all its beauty
waxes and wanes
how many times
have you looked up at the sky
and noticed all this change?
people walk into your life
play different roles
give you love
nourish your souls,
give you reasons
to shed tears
or to laugh
over the years!
but when their time comes
they go their way
leaving you
by yourself
just like the day you first came
you, mortal being
with immortal soul
few more years
or who knows how many days
or how many breaths
you have at stake
what did you do today
to make a heart smile
soothe someone’s ache?
what did you give away
that made you richer
than yesterday?
how did you please your Beloved
knowing, that in the end
its only between you and Him
did you pause to reflect, to think
or went about unaware, unconscious
like every other day
acting on your whims?
naked truth
what a strange beauty there is
in learning from the opposites
I love freely
because I know how it feels
not to be loved
I appreciate little things
whole heartedly
because I know how it is
to be taken for granted
I try hard to understand
because I know how it feels
to be misunderstood
I am and I am not
yet I persist
I often smile at the sun
I seek light
because I have seen
the darkest of nights
I know what freedom is
because I had been tied down
for too long to a place
I didn’t belong
I long for my home
because I know how agonizing
that separation is
covered in thorns
I delight in soothing
someone’s pain
having drowned in tears
I delight in a smile on a face
yes, you can call me insane
because I know there is nothing
no nothing in staying sane
I know yet I remain a fool
hiding behind words
look how I spill
my heart out
how amazing it is, I wonder
to have learnt from contradictions
