Not blind but my eyes cannot see
But of course it can feel
The harshness of this world
That is just so real.
The eyes are filling
With sadness and regret
Salty waters are dripping
Mind is boggling
Heart beats to death
Vision becomes foggy
And the torturing pain
Still I cannot forget.
😦
Never lost, never found
Always losing my mind
Many roads to turn around
But life is still unkind.
Close to giving up
I will have at least
One last good wrap
One worthy try please.
Failure is not a loss
It is that one catapult
With a worthy cause
That leads to a great result.
— May we all be inspired to try again and again even if we fail. Failure is one good catapult to success! 🙂
It’s been awhile since my last post and share, so let the passion begin now. This short poem is dedicated to all lovers, parents and most especially to soon to be parents. 🙂
Constellations above are watching over us
While you and me are faraway
Shining with love that is built to last
Brighter than anything in the milky way.
And then we both succumb
To our eternal burning fire
A magic fruit in the womb
Created with an ardent desire.
– TLL
It all started from her womb
The birth of a thousand men
The making of the whole world
And the magic of existence
We all call life.
She seals each morning and evening
With a kiss that feels surreal
Nurtured little mouths with love
Embraced her other half
With ardent zeal and passion.
Weak, strong or undefined
She is behind every man —
Every man’s success is possible
Because she’s behind
Backing up each and every fall.
A mum, a sister or a friend
She can become anyone
She wants herself to be
She is all yours to take
How can you not love a woman?
Frozen hearts are melted
By her warmth and hotness
Even the most powerful
Have become weakest
At their knees.
She is a woman
More rare than a diamond
More precious than wealth
She is your life
She is all you need.
~ This poem is especially dedicated to our mums. She is the first woman we have known. Have a Happiest International Women’s Day!
You thought nobody could help
So I did but
You do not have to know.
* Daily Prompt: Random Act of Kindness
Post for Dec. 20.
It may be simple as it seems
But it has a deep impact
Through my veins I have felt
The bond that binds
As it lifts my soul
And touches my spirit.
When I move, it moves with me
Whether I run, walk or crawl.
It bends and bows
And it follows me through.
A blessing indeed
Every time I hold its hand in mine.
Never thought I could have
The arch of friendship
In you I have found.
Today is the day I have met two of my oldest friends whom I haven’t seen in ages. I have felt their loving arches again. 🙂
In the dark
I shivered from afar
For you are no longer mine.
The fragile glass which
Is my heart and mirror
Was broken into pieces.
You drifted apart from me
And love plummeted to its death.
But I am here standing still,
Reflecting the shattered pieces
Reminiscing our lost past.
In time I have learned
That to love you in silence
I have found peace
Because no one
Owns you there
But me.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
