At night
I slept well …
I saw you in my dream!
That’s surreal
This moment of joy is gifted by God ….
Ecstasy
Tag: blog
Unsayable
I hold a cup of coffee
Tastes bitter sweet
A little piece of love
Feeling warmth
An aroma that fills the heart …
Now how do I put into other words
To explain a feeling I have never felt before….
Perplexed
If only you knew ….
You’re always in my thoughts!
I do not know what tomorrow will bring …
For now,
I m too scared to get my heart broken!
Let It Be
I wish
I wish I could give you the fragrance of this flower ….
Dear Taj Mahal
.
I wore a serene smile.
I was barefoot for a while,
The woman within my tender age shivered
When Taj touched me, and I was so drawn to it.
Dear Taj, ‘Why do you make me smile such sweet smile?‘
In all its beauty and ecstasy,
I was so sure of one thing,
That I was destined for something,
Which I kept searching in silence here.
Dear Taj, ‘Have you not fallen in love with me yet?’ ❤️
I Long for This Bliss
I long for that bliss
Where sudden gentle breeze
Shimmers every leaf
And whispers through the sunshine:
“Be free my darling, be free,
And light up the spirit within …
So it’s alive!”
I picture this in my mind
Painting nature’s beauty into the timeless wonderland
Such emotions reign all my soul
And here, I m lost in the smell of
Sudden gentle breeze …
I so long for this bliss!
Feeling Humble
We feel so independent and humble when we depend only on Him.”
Enlightened
The disciples asked, “What does one need in order to be Enlightened?”
The Master said, “You must discover what it is that falls in the water and does not make a ripple; moves through the trees and does not make a sound; enters the field and does not stir a single blade of grass.”
After weeks of fruitless pondering, the disciples said, “What is this thing?”
“Thing?” said the Master. “But it isn’t a thing at all.”
“So it is nothing?”
“You might say so.”
“Then how are we to search for it?”
“Did I tell you to search for it? It can be found but never searched for. Seek and you will miss.”
Divine Sunrise
My heart glows like a candle
To witness this divine sunrise.
Looks like a boundless majesty..
Feels like all the heavens lit.
And I smile and say to myself,
“How trivial is this life!”
“How divine a destiny ahead!”
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Ready for any adventure
The adventurous soul as I am
Restless like sea,
Strong and content
And all the good fortune I bring
Along my path …..
Drift Away
I can feel the wind will blow and I will drift,
I will drift into the endless time.
I won’t ask, ‘What if!’…
I will just drift away.
Yellowish Blooming
If I see an orchid that’s fantastically expensive, I’ll buy it. It’s worth it, for no other reason than it gives me pleasure.
Lee Radziwill
Fly Away
We were young, we were wild, we were restless
Had to go, had to fly, had to get away
Took a chance on that feelin’
We were lovin’ blind borderline wreckless
We were livin’ for the minute we were spinnin’ in
Baby we were a lot of things, but we weren’t crazy
Josh Gracin
His Selfless Love
The sun never says to the earth: ‘You owe me.‘
His selfless love illuminates the sky.

Travel
Try to travel, otherwise
you may become racist,
and you may end up believing
that your skin is the only one
to be right,
that your language
is the most romantic
and that you were the first
to be the first.
Travel,
because if you don’t travel then
your thoughts won’t be strengthened,
won’t get filled with ideas.
Your dreams will be born with fragile legs and then you end up believing in tv-shows, and in those who invent enemies
that fit perfectly with your nightmares
to make you live in terror.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say good morning to everyone
regardless of which sun we come from.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say goodnight to everyone
regardless of the darkness
that we carry inside.
Travel,
because traveling teaches to resist,
not to depend,
to accept others, not just for who they are
but also for what they can never be.
To know what we are capable of,
to feel part of a family
beyond borders,
beyond traditions and culture.
Traveling teaches us to be beyond.
Travel,
otherwise you end up believing
that you are made only for a panorama
and instead inside you
there are wonderful landscapes
still to visit.
– Gio_Evan, poet and songwriter.
