As I lay and think of you
All things cherished come into mind
Music
Love
Even coffee…
For that’s a love we share
An addiction we can’t deny

But it’s more than that….
Maybe you are my real addiction?

One that makes me happy
With a small gesture
A message
A smile
Enough to keep me going
Till I hear from you again
A smile
A sense of satisfaction....

But is this a heart shaped box I am trapped in?
My alcove of comfort and solace….
Hidden in the trenches of your sadness
My love emanates…
Innocently
Curingly
Until your pain and misery relinquish

But what if we never know what it means
And What if it isn’t what it seems
If we just kept it aside
It may one day be too late to decide…

As the seasons change
And pages begin to fade
I’ll remember the feel right now
As I lay and think of you…and explore our “when and how”?

A lesson to learn

Is it the end of an era or the beginning of something new?
Is the glass half empty or is it half full?
How can you smile when all you feel is sadness?
How do you embrace optimism when floating in a sea of pessimism?
How should you move forward when your shadow is lost in your past?

But you have to keep moving ahead for nothing lies in the past
It will taunt you, torment you and keep pulling you back….
Forcing you to cower in the comfort of all things familiar….
but at the end it’s a chasm
A pit of things that were and will never again be
Times that were and will never again be
Memories that were and will soon fade away, one fragment at a time
Until all that’s left is vagueness in the mind….

For even the sun, as it sets, doesn’t weep on leaving the horizon
He shines his rays, gloriously till nightfall
Hopeful, knowing
Tomorrow awaits my glow

But how do we move forward with chains in our feet?

Liberate yourself
Free your soul from all attachments for there only lies one truth
We came alone and so will we leave
One life, one soul, alone
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes…
