Try it.....you'll like it

When your sunshine goes missing for days on end,
And nothing seems right in the world,
When there is nothing left that you like in yourself,
When you feel life is no longer your friend,
Do yourself a favour….
Look at yourself with the eyes of the one who loves you.
And suddenly the not-so-nice things,
About you and your life, that pain you,
Will not look so painful after all,
They’ll look forgiveable, silly, and even adorable
Once you look with the eyes of the one who loves you.
The world and life itself, appears so new, so fresh
Inviting you to give it another try, a second chance,
U realize the words “You are beautiful” are indeed true,
When you look at yourself with the eyes of the one who loves you.

Unconditionally

Do you know what it means
To have someone who loves you
Unconditionally,

Who is always there
To support you in your dreams,
To rejoice in your victories,
And to revel in your joys.

To wipe away your tears
When your heart is heavy,
And to wash away your fears
With all the strength she has.

Now you know what it feels
Coz at the other end of the world,
There she is such a person
Who will always be
Whatever you want her to be,

No matter what, till the end of forever,
Giving you all that she can give you
Unconditionally.

Always yours in spirit

I do not wake up at 4:30am anymore

I do not check to see if you are online anymore

But since I promised you I wouldn’t do it,

I do not eat away my lips anymore

I do not forget to take my pills anymore

I pay attention to the signals

Before crossing the streets

I am more aware of my surroundings

Especially the fire-engine sirens J

You taught me to see the world

And myself with your eyes

Introduced me to a new world

A world of new lows, new highs

You showed me the beauty

Of wearing your heart on your sleeve

And the courage to get lost

In the magic that words weave

The confidence to stop having

To create and cross emotional bridges

The innocence and passion

To savour all of life’s riches

I’m not going to smile

Just to make you think am happy

I’m not going to laugh

Just so that you don’t see me cry

I’m truly happy and laugh uninhibited

I smile the same smile you so loved once

The sun still rises and sets with you

For you are always with me

And I know you will forever be with me

And I with you, in spirit.

Let that smile be your nametag forever

Apologies Mr. Wordsworth, but I had to do this...

------------------------------------------------------------

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
It flashes upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the smile that plays on those lips

:-)

That's my Sidd

There’s never knowing what’s brewing

In the devilish brain of his

Tis easy to be deceived by his boyish charm

That hides the frenzied pace of his thoughts that alarm.

An entrepreneur, a dirty mind at its best

A fountain of ideas and confidence immense.

A spirit that soars and questions life anew

A do-or-die attitude

That’s my Sidd for you.

He’ll shock you with his indecent zest

The least said about his favourite gesture, the best.

A heart that melts like butter and a tongue that swears like hell

An emotional savant, the quintessential romantic

That’s my Sidd - intense and complicated.

To sweep his lady love off her feet,

New words he conjures everyday.

He promises her the world, but not yet his love

He puts her under his magic spell and leads her thoughts astray

He calls her a doe-eyed lass one day,

A dodgy – woman the next

Likens her growing smile in her dimpled cheek

To a puddle of water rippled by a falling rain-drop

What a smooth talker he is, all poetic and sleek.

He makes faces at her,

Loves to tease and taunt,

Not your ideal knight-in-shining armour

But that’s my Sidd – tall, dark and gaunt.

I thank my lucky stars in the heavens above

For once, for bringing me Sidd

He makes you laugh, he makes you cry

And loves you like there’s no tomorrow

What more could any girl ever want.

Seasons I love

Here its the tingly chill in the air,

Orange pumpkins and the mellowing sun,

As the earth envelops itself in a blanket

Rich with colours of mauve, red and gold

And the rustle of the leaves and the crunch of the grass

Of which soon there will left but none.

There the earth is waking up

From its long winter slumber

Preening itself with flowers galore

And the dewy grass and the warm-scented mud

That eggs the heart and mind to soar

Autumn and spring, what beauty they hold

Enjoy every moment of these wondrous times

Let yourself get carried away

Taking in all that the eye can behold.

The Bond

The dew drops glistened under the caress
Of the early sun-beam, as it lit her eyes like that of a doe.
Awakening gently, unsheathing her finesse
Tenderly she stretched , as she turned aglow.

Still yearning for the dreams the night had bred
As the birds tweeted overhead,
And the sweet-smelling grass murmured beneath
There she was, sitting pretty in the bed.

Soaking in the warmth of the morning sun
Non-chalant at the growing buzz
She thought that she’d seen it all
(Or perhaps she had seen none?)

Beginning to get a little annoyed
At the musings of the others that came alive
As they waited with bated breath
For their winged companions to arrive.

Soon she was interrupted in her dream
Not unpleasantly, but by a gentle nudge
Of the hairy being waiting to kiss her freckled spots
As he jostled against the sun-beam.

He used his lively demeanor,
His soothing voice, even.
He used all his charm
On attempting to impress the pretty little one.

Was she swayed ? Certainly not.
But to her surprise, she didn’t mind
His company, his constant banter
She felt something change, as their thoughts entwined.

As the sun rose higher,
They chatted away.
He regaled her with tales of yonder
As she looked wide-eyed with wonder.

The sunbeam visited again
But a new beginning dawned
She was among her sisters this time, waiting
But she knew, (just as he?), that theirs was a different bond

They enjoyed whatever little time they had together
As their hidden fears they tried to allay
They both knew he would move away to new gardens
And she would have to fade away.

The day of parting came sooner, as it always does
His eyes were filled with things unspoken
As she put on a happy charade
Though deep inside she was too heart-broken.

We’ve gone crazy, we’ve laughed,
We’ve fought, we’ve cried,
The time we’ve spent together
Short as it may seem,
Will always be my sweetest dream.

Go now, don’t fret
Leave the unspoken things unsaid
Tis only a matter of time
Before you meet another flower.

But no matter where you go,
Or who you’ll be
You will never find
Another one like me.
