Shadow

I don't think of you much

But I know you are there,

Closer to me

More than anyone could be.

Thy walk is such grace

Sometimes I wish I were you.


Thy beauty is astonishing


That I forget, we are but one!





When seeking comfort


I almost forget you.


Thou art like me,


Coz thou art my shadow!

Better In Time

Heart broken to a million pieces
You think you will never love again.
With a stroke of a paint brush
It all begins to change.

The gloomy days you thought will follow,
Happen to fade away.
And the bright light of many a loved one
Begins to show its face.

One heart has let you down,
And you think that is the end.
But when you feel the love of them all,
You know it all gets better in time.

Another Day

The concern in her voice,
The helplessness in his,
The hurt and betrayal in another
Is what I came to see.

Anger in her voice
While I test her patience.
Making another scared,
While i cry out desperately.

I came to realise
All is not at end.
When looking around me
I will find the beginnings,
For another day!

*** I know I have not done justice to this poem in trying to express what I really want to and have to say. What I truly wanted to convey is that I'm grateful for all of you, who stood by me, during some very dark days, and helped bring the light back into my life. I'm eternally indebted for that!I also want all of you to know that your love and concern has touched me greatly and I truly hope that the light which is alive in m now will glow for many years to come.I want to say thank you and that I' truly touched by the love and that I'm lucky to have such supportive friends surrounding me!!

THANK YOU & LOVE YOU ALL!! ***

Testing My Patience

What Am I to do when I am hurt??
Cuddle up, hug myself and cry so on one can see me,
Or tell those who hurt me , what I feel?

What am I to do when I see no hope?
Listen to those who say that everything will be alright
Or make my own decision?

What do I do when life is all messed up and I see no way out?
Do I try to sit and untangle it
Or just give up and move on?

Tell me what I should do
Or maybe not do.
Because my patience is tested and
I am running short of hope!

Expectations

They expect me to lie
When am to tell the truth.
They expect me to know everything,
When I am still but young.
They expect me to be strong
and feeling less,
When in reality, I hurt a lot.
What do they want from me?
What do they expect me to be?
Obviously, something that am not!
Anything but me!
