As the saying "LIFE'S TOO WONDERFUL TO BE SPENT WORRYING" goes,i accept life as it is,and enjoy each and every moment of life.I like poems which are sensitive and different and am into writing poems that are dark and very emotional.Basically i'm very sensitive and emotional and the poems i write transfer me to a world that was unknown to me years before.I really enjoy what i'm doing!I am also a voracious reader.If you are one,pl IM me!i just love talking about books..
 
       I'm pursuing a degree in electronics and communication and am quite busy at times. I don't find time to write poems but still,i manage.Please comment on my works and in turn,i'll return the favor
        Well,that's it about me,buddies.

As you travel through life there are always those times
When decisions just have to be made,
When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,
And the rain seems to soak your parade.

There are some situations where all you can do
Is simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage and choose a direction
That carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -
The process of change can be tough,
But think about all the excitement ahead
If you can be stalwart enough!

There might be adventures you never imagined
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes and dreams just about to come true
In ways you can't yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things
As you challenge your status quo,
And learn there are so many options in life,
And so many ways you can grow!

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected
And see things that you've never seen,
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring
And somebody special who's there
To help you stay centered and listen with interest
To stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends
Are supportive of all that you do,
And believe that whatever decisions you make,
They'll be the right choices for you.

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,
And taking your life day by day...
There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road -
Don't look back! You're not going that way!

BEFORE I GO

When my life has reached its very end,
And I take that final breath;
I want to know I've left behind,
Some "good" before my death.

I hope that in my final hour,
In all honesty I can say:
That somewhere in my lifetime,
I have brightened someone's day.

That maybe I have brought a smile
To someone else's face,
And made one moment a little sweeter
While they dwelled here in this place.

Lord, please be my reminder
And whisper softly in my ear ...
To be a "giver," not a "taker,"
In the years I have left here.

Give to me the strength I need,
Open up my mind and my soul
That I might show sincere compassion,
And love to others before I go.

For if not a heart be touched by me,
And not a smile was left behind ...
Then the life that I am blessed with,
Will have been a waste of time.

With all my heart, I truly hope
To leave something here on earth ...
That touched another, made them smile
And gave to my life ... worth.

QUOTES ON LOVE

Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's
called falling in love, because you don't force
yourself to fall, you just fall.

There was an old man in a village, very poor, but even kings were
jealous of him because he had a beautiful white horse. Kings offered
fabulous prizes for the horse, but the man would say, "This horse is
not a horse to me, he is a person. And how can you sell a person, a
friend?" The man was poor, but he never sold the horse.

One morning he found that the horse was not in the stable. The whole
village gathered and said, "You foolish old man! We knew that someday
the horse would be stolen. It would have been better to sell it. What
a misfortune!"

The old man said, "Don't go so far as to say that. Simply say that
the horse is not in the stable. This is the fact; everything else is
judgement.
Whether it is a misfortune or a blessing I don't know, because this
is just a fragment. Who knows what is going to follow it?"

People laughed at the old man. They had always known he was a little
crazy. But after fifteen days, suddenly one night the horse returned.
He had not been stolen, he had escaped into the wild. And not only
that he had brought a dozen wild horses with him.

Again the people gathered and they said, "Old man, you were right.
This was not a misfortune, it has indeed proved to be a blessing."

The old man said, "Again you are going too far. Just say that the
horse is back...who knows whether it is a blessing or not?" It is
only a fragment.
You read a single word in a sentence - how can you judge the whole
book?"

This time the people could not say much, but inside they knew that he
was wrong. Twelve beautiful horses had come.

The old man had an only son who started to train the horses. Just a
week later he fell from a horse and his legs were broken. The people
gathered again and again they judged. They said, " Again you proved
right! It was a misfortune. your only son has lost the use of his
legs, and in your old age he was your only support. Now you are
poorer than ever."

The old man said, "You are obsessed with judgement. Don't go that
far. Say only that my son had broken his legs. Life comes in
fragments and more is never given to you."

It happened that after a few weeks the country went to war, and all
the young men of the town were forcibly taken for the military. Only
the old man's son was left because he was crippled. The whole town
was crying and weeping, because it was a losing fight and they knew
that most of the young people would never come back. They came to the
old man and they said, " You were right, old man - this has proved a
blessing. maybe your son is crippled, but he is still with you. Our
sons are gone forever."

The old man said again, " You go on and on judging. Nobody knows!
Only say this, that your sons have been forced to enter the army and
my son has not been forced. But only God, the total, knows whether it
is a blessing or a misfortune."

Judge not, otherwise you will never become one with the total. With
fragments you will be obsessed, with small things you will jump to
conclusions. Once you judge you have stopped growing. Judgement means
a stale state of mind. And mind always wants judgement, because to be
in a process is always hazardous and uncomfortable.

In fact the journey never ends. One path ends, another begins: one
door closes, another opens. You reach a peak; a higher peak is always
there. God is an endless journey. Only those who are so courageous
that they dont bother about the goal but are content with the
journey, content to just live in the moment and grwo into it, only
those are able to walk in the total.
