The Shade
Under the sun, I stood. Gazing at the shadowy shade. Dancing under the half-bent tree. An old woman came to a stop beside me.
" Child , Why do you not go sit in the shade?"
She had followed my gaze. "I have no need for shade." I looked at her
" Ah! Your eyes tell a different story." she smiled.
I did sit under it once, and when it was time to move forward. I wanted to carry it with me. To give me shade. To give me comfort.
" But the tree had roots and you couldn't lift it, right?"
Her question was soft.
" Yes, But I was brave and walked out in to the sun, without my tree, without my shade"
" Yes, it truly is a very hard thing to do, my child." A memory glittered in her eyes.
"I no longer crave the shade. I can stand the fire of the sun".
I stood straight.
"Yes," she smiled, " you can, for you are brave. But do you have the strength to go back?"
I looked at her ..what did she mean?
"Courage" she smiled " is not he absence of fear
but deciding to do something , inspite, of the fear."
I couldn't do anything else but stare at her.
"It is not enough to simply walk in to the sun
You should also find the strength to stay in the shade
Inspite of the fact that you will have to move on soon"
Then it struck me
Why trees had roots
They are to stay
And men were to walk.
" Yes, The shade is in you my child..
you don't have to carry a tree to find it"
And then she was gone
I looked at the shady tree'..
walked towards it and sat down
I'd stay a while ,
just for a little while,..and then I'd walk again.

Ever Sustaining Love
This is just a note to say,
I think about you everyday.
And just to say thank you,
For loving me the way you do.
I love it when we're together,
And it is my hope that,
This love will last forever.
But if one day if it ends,
I know you'll always be my friend.
However, I pray to God
For you to be always mine,
And to bless our love
Which I hopefully expect to be granted
So if there ever would be a day,
We would part forever
Then it would result in
Demise of you or me
As nothing on earth can depart us!
I think about you everyday.
And just to say thank you,
For loving me the way you do.
I love it when we're together,
And it is my hope that,
This love will last forever.
But if one day if it ends,
I know you'll always be my friend.
However, I pray to God
For you to be always mine,
And to bless our love
Which I hopefully expect to be granted
So if there ever would be a day,
We would part forever
Then it would result in
Demise of you or me
As nothing on earth can depart us!
Moonlit Night
Have seen the moon of the 13th night
Saw the shine of flowers and stars
They don't have your feel in them
What a beauty?
Is a dream pictured in front of my eyes?
Or am I seeing an angel on earth?
Do you know what will happen
When someone sees
A beautiful face and eye
True friend
Always be with me
In entirety
I see all beautiful dreams
But your feeling is not in
Any of the images on those valleys
What loveliness?
I Love You like Love
(This poem is dedicated to "S", the one and only girl that I love, though she doesn't return my love for her)
See you very often,
But didn't have any admiration.
Saw you that very day,
And I suddenly fell for you.
So fast
So hard.
So deep.
Not even knowing you at all.
I never thought I'd dream of you,
When I drifted off to sleep.
Was it your precious smile?
Or was it simply, the looks of sincerity?
That crowned you as the adorable princess,
At the castle of my heart.
I've waited so long,
To find a girl like you.
And now that you're here,
I wish you would share your life with me.
I promise with all my life,
That I would not let a single tear,
Out of your gorgeous eyes,
This may seem hard,
For you to trust,
As you have been,
Betrayed in Love,
Yet, I'm willing to sacrifice.
All my Life,
To grant you with love, happiness and joy,
All in eternity,
Until the last breath of my soul,
For I Love You,
Just as the blindness of love,
Not for worldly delights.
