I am not alone...

-

When the times are tough,
when life calls on my bluff,
Times when sadness seems a drone,
You remind me, 
I am not alone.
When the world feels desolate,
when one starts cursing fate,
times when poisonous seeds are sown,
I see you and I know,
I am not alone.
Your smile tells me I will be fine,
and that its just a matter of time,
You are where I feel at home,
always reminding me ,
I am not alone.

P.S : There are people in our lives who never abandon us. They stand by us in every season. This poem is dedicated to such gems in my life. They remind me why I am truly blessed!

    Hi Upasana :)
    A very beautiful post. Indeed, when all the chips are down and everyone leaves our side, some people stand up to the task of standing beside us. It is during such circumstances that people surprise us either by supporting us or by taking the support away.
    Keep posting :)

    Regards

    well nicely expressed your feelings for those who have been always with in your life.
    In fact this prose was so apt and rightly explained.

    I like this. It's just written in simple words, and conveys a lot. Esp. the life calling my bluff part. I can understand that, absolutely. It's like I say I'm not afraid, yet I am, and life knows I am. Beautifully conjured.

"Say you love me"

They slept close.Slowly, his hand slid inside her clothes.She didn't react, pretended to sleep.He touched her and it made her face him.She opened her mouth to ask but his lips stopped her.Withdrawing, he asked her, "say you love me", she could just nod.She does not remember what happened next except the excruciating pain enough to bring tears in her eyes. Next morning she asked him "I told you I love you then why did you hurt me bhaiya?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is an attempt to highlight the fact that child abuse is not something that happens in others houses only.It could be happening right under our noses, making us ignorant.It is not something to be ashamed of and swept under the carpet in the name of society.With a little awareness from our side, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt to be a child. ----------------------------------------------------------

Little packets of hope...

Things are not going your way, Black is more evident in the gray, Not a smile on your face, Nothing gives you solace.. Everyone and everything appear distant, In favoring you, luck seems hesitant, You feel time is not on your side, and there is nothing you haven't tried. Just when you think it can't get worse, Something happens and life seems like a curse, You stop smiling and give it all up, Not half filled, its an empty cup. I am the same as you, Having felt this,in times old and new. But now when i look and ponder, It all makes perfect sense, i realize in wonder. The cup was always filled up to the half, I found no reason to not laugh, There are little joys around in every season, Always believe everything happens for a reason. Just when you think its difficult to cope, Look around, You will always find , Little packets of hope!

I don't wish for a fairy tale....

Neither the red roses, nor the candle light.. No popping of the bubbly on a moonlit night.. I don't live on the rainbow, the huge castle isn't mine, long tresses are Rupenzel's, without the genie i do just fine! Not the sea shore bonfire, limo is too huge for two.. Dont want a life queen size.. only love n comfort will do! All of it is impressive but am not looking for materiality.. I dont wish for a fairy tale.. just a beautiful reality..
