Life can be celebrated.....together!!:-)

Two spirits celebrating each oether..living through each other every moment with the thought to make it last forever....is marriage...for me.

Getting married because you have to is the saddest thing to happen to anyone.......when you have to lie to urself forever that you are in love........when you are not...is the saddest loss anyone has to go through...........arranged or love........two souls to merge is what makes lives sour higher with the strength that lights a fire..called love.

True love gets strength into life.......as smiles, as happiness that fills the heart as the urge fr every empty space in lufe to be filled by that one presence............we should marry to live this life....to rise together....to cry together..........experiencing happiness sorrow victory defeat.....as one..........life worth living..........one look,subtle expression.........can make evry sadness seem meaningless........if you find someone like that either run away if you cant get them or never let go............I wish each of us who has someone to celebrate does not loose him/her and who does not gets him/her, Ameen.

Sandstorm

2008-09-06T09:25:00.000-07:00

Life turns over a new leaf on every bend,
Desires remain rooted in apprehension,
Time flows through life like a sandstorm through the desert,
Covering the footprints left behind,

Through the time glass I look at my life,
Holding my breath wishing for nothing to rush me,
Wishing to salvage comfort so dear to keep moving on,

I see faces, see memories……
They come together ….the good ones and the bad ones,
I shut my eyes then, to stop what I don’t wish to reach through me,

My life slips thru time covering itself with dust at every bend in time,
Wrapped in each grain of sand on me are memories,
Having become part of my soul, drifting in time,

I long for time to be still, for the storm to end,
But it keeps gaining force pushing me ahead,
Where it will take me, I know not,
Hope does not leave me keeping the fire within alive and so I keep breathing.

I betray darkness every time when sunshine brings warmth into my soul…
Making me realize forever the joy of living to be my first love…

Bird of the Desert

2005-11-28T19:48:00.000-08:00

Desires are blown to the other side of the dunes,
By the challenges which come as sandstorms in my life.
Dreams set stifled by the fears from regret,
Freedom from demnds is what you need but dont get.
I wish that i cud rise high so that i'm above all the hurt,
Or hide somewhere from where hurt will revert.
Cool as ice is what i want life to be,
Hard as stone is what it is to me.
If my heart was a razor,wud hav cut thru life
But i hold onto sorrows like a garland.
Wish cud replace them with hapiness.
Rain falls in its season,
But my heart has neither reason nor faith in being soaked in peace.
Yet hope survives like the bird of the desert.
Rises like a falcon and i rise with it.
Searching for a new sky,
Searching for new place,
Searching for new happiness.
