Random Things That I Notice

Flowers in full bloom on someone’s balcony

Life is beautiful.

A sikh taxi driver who wouldn’t drive fast because he constantly kept fixing his moustaches into place.

Aah! Vanity, thy name is not only woman.

A man suddenly breaking into a sprint because he wanted to catch a bus that had already started moving away

Oh! The speed of life blurring by.

A pretty girl with a frown on her face – obviously late

Hmmm…the pressures of a day, a life begun.

A smooth, traffic free road at a normally busy junction

:) - Pays to leave a little late than usual.

Honking motorists at a normally not-busy junction

Grrr - The light won’t change with your honks, buster!

Hunched people frowning away in their cars

Smile – it’s a beautiful day.

A sleek black car

ENVY – I want one.

A little boy with a runny nose, a tilted, beseeching head, an extended hand – and empty eyes

Life can be ugly too.

You Walk Away

You look so good when you smile
I wish I could keep your smile with me
Your eyes light up when we're together
Alas, that cannot be.

Everything seems so bleak
The world seems gray
When you go away
Everywhere it's you that I seek.

I need you, I want you
But you choose to walk away
I nurse my woes, I cajole my heart
Into being strong, day by passing day.

For I know one day shall come
With a tempest in its wake
You'll come back to drown my strength
And pass through me another stake.

Will I allow it?
In all honesty I cannot say
For this moment, I stand unflinching, unmoved, tall
As you, without a backward glance...

Walk away, walk away...

Footprints in the Sand

I left my footprints in the sand
Thinking they'd never go
I forgot about other footprints
And all about the tide's flow
No, nothing could ever make them go.

And then in came the tide
As high in it's reach as it was wide
I saw my footprint was there no more.
Shaken, I set out again
Left my mark, yet in vain
For someone walked over it
And left a mark more secure.

Then I saw with my heart and soul
I was, but a small part
Of a much larger, more beautiful whole
And ever since, I don't feel so grand
But if it gets wiped away or walked over
I don't feel so bad or drained out.

I just go on, leaving my footprints in the sand.

With You, I'm Complete

You light my life
In the darkest of days
From you, I have learnt the meaning of calm
And that patience always pays.
You are my teacher.

Your voice, your deep eyes - so intense
All around me, I feel your presence
Feel you right next to me
You have broken down my every defense.
You are my invader.

You leave me breathless,
I think of you night and day
Other than you, no one can be
Your touch enlivens me, you delight me.
You are my lover.

With you I'm happy
With you I'm complete.

NO

How can you just walk back into my life
And turn it upside down?
You can't just think you can step right back in
And everything will stop
And be the way it once was.
You took my life - and a day
When you walked away
Now you want to make things right
So you skip back into sight.

Well, here's my answer to that.

NO.

I am who I am.

I don't want to give any explanations
And I don't want any from you
I don't want to change you -
I love you for who you are
And just as I am is how I want you to accept me too.

Am I setting conditions?
Am I being too demanding?
No, I just want to be truly happy.
And this is what will make me.
Can we try this? Will you let me be me?

My Frown's Gone a-Missing

I smile at home to keep the peace
I smile at work to keep up pretenses
Somewhere in these crowds
My frown's gone a-missing.

I don't want to smile
I just want to frown
I only want to scream
And let it all out.

I want to be by myself
I want to be me
The constant smiles are giving me a headache
I just want to be.

And yet, day in and day out
All I do is smile
Instead of looking for my frown
Which seems to have gone underground.

Oh somewhere in these crowds
I've lost something, someone special

Can you please help me find me?

What if I was someone else.
Who would I be?
What if you were here with me.
How would life be?
What if the world were a different place.
What would it be?
What if I could talk of my feelings better.
What would my expression be?
What if I could sing the song of my life.
What would the tune and the lyrics be?
What if I could dance lost in the joys of my life.
What would the steps be?
What if...

What if.

A Dream That Lives

I could taste the salt in my mouth. I could feel skin on skin. The sparkle in the eye, I could see. The pulsing heart beneath the sheath of skin and ribs, I could imagine. I wanted to brush away that wispy lock that fell gently on the forehead. I kept looking for a second - that kept stretching into eternity - wishing to capture this moment in the depths of a hidden corner of my heart, so that when it beat really loud in my ears, the memory of now would come up in front of my eyes. I knew it would make me blush. Every Single Time. And Want. More.

When my eyes locked with another pair, I could see an intensity which was parallel to mine, only to meet in a shower of sparks. There was no need for words to shape what we felt. We lifted our right hands at the same time and a gasp escaped as the tips of our fingers touched. Which one of us gasped, I do not know. I only know we both felt the same jolt...

...that made me bolt out of my sleep.

My heart is still crashing against its confines.
