How Do I Tell Her

I searched among the card displays,
To see if I could find,
A little something that would say
Just what was on my mind.

However there was not a one,
That captured it just right,
For no one else can understand
Just what I'd like to write.

I even find it difficult
To try and write it down,
For how do I portray to her,
The love that I have known?

I close my eyes and what I see,
Is someone I adore,
A person who is beautiful,
Right down into her soul.

Mere words cannot describe
The many qualities she show,
The love and caring nature that
She shares with those who know.

Her kind and gentle temperament,
Her sweet angelic smiles,
Her softly spoken sentiments,
That reach across the miles.

Her smile and laugh that sparkles with
The softness of her sighs,
The way her face lights up a room
That twinkle in her eyes.

I shall therefore, be satisfied
That she must simply know,
Just how I feel about her,
For with words I cannot show..

My Special Someone

You changed my world with a blink of an eye
That is something that I can never deny,
You put my soul from worst to best
That is why you are my dearest.

You just don't know what you have done for me
You pushed me to the best that I can be,
You are an angel sent from above
To take care of me and shower with love.

With you, I will never shed a tear
Your touch has chased away all my fear,
You gave me a life that I can live worthwhile
It gets even better everytime you smile.

Its so magical, those things you've made
To bring back my faith that almost fade,
Now my life is a dream come true
It all began when I was loved by you.

Now I have found what I am looking for
It's you and your love and nothing more,
Because you have made my heart to melt
In my life something I've never felt.

I wish I could talk till the end of this day
But now I'm running out of things to say,
So I'll end by the line you already know
"I LOVE YOU" more than what I could ever show...

Stress

Some people think that stress is bad
Something that makes you crazy and mad,
I look at it in a very different way
And for that I am who I am today.

Instead of letting it all build up
Just look at someone and yell "shut up!"
Instead of getting all red in the face
Just be brave and put someone in place.

Instead of letting the tears pour down
Except for you, make someone else frown,
Why to get all wound up and tight
Just pick someone and start a fight.

Just knock their smile right off their face
Tell them that they are a big disgrace,
And if they ask you if you are stressed
Tell them "no no, I'm feeling my best."

Because you are not stressed at all
You know how to cope up and stand tall,
The trick is to know that it is never your call
The world is against you and that is all.

Think of this and you will smile
And you will feel better after a while,
I wake up everyday and first thing I say
Life is great and, stress - no way...

My Life

I was told that Life could be just what I made it
It could be fashioned and worn like a gown,
I, the designer, mine the decision
Whether to wear it with a bonnet or a crown.

And I selected the prettiest pattern
So that my life is made of the rosiest hue,
Something unique, and a bit out of fashion
One that perhaps would be chosen by few.

But other folks came and leaned over my shoulder
Someone questioned the ultimate cost,
Somebody tangled the thread I was using
And one day I found that my scissors were lost.

And somebody claimed the material faded
A few suggested it was not worth a corn,
Someone's fingers, too pointed and spiteful
Snatched at the cloth, and it was torn.

Oh! somebody tried to do all the sewing
Stretching all muscles and tiring each bone,
Here is my life, the product of many, But
Where is that gown I could fashion all alone?

Your Wish

If you wish the World were better
Then let me tell you what to do,
Set a watch upon your actions
Keep them always straight and true.
Get rid your mind of selfish motives
Let your thoughts be clean and high,
You can make a little Eden
Of the huge sphere you occupy.

If you wish the World were wiser
Then I suppose you make a start,
By accumulating all the wisdom
In the scrap book of your heart.
Do not waste even a page on folly
Live to learn and learn to live,
If you want to give men knowledge
You must get it before you give.

If you wish the World were happy
Then remember at the start of day,
Just to scatter seeds of kindness
As you pass along the way.
Live in what you think and feel
Put your dreams in actions to do,
The present world is simply waiting
For your wish and just for you...

Star World

I went to a planetarium one day
To visit the stars and the Milky Way,
To see the Orion's Belt, and the Big Dipper too,
And to meet the glowing stars along with their crew.

The stars gleamed like diamonds against an ocean of black
As I looked up at the ceiling to the sides, front and the back,
Impossible to count the stars for there were many
Except the black hole, where I didn't find any.

Taurus, the Bull and Cassiopeia, the Queen
Were part of the night sky I had never seen,
Constellations of Sagittarius and Gemini, the Twins
All made up of stars like the heads of tiny pins.

No matter which way I look up in the sky
I could see stars throughout the corners of each eye,
The Signs of the Zodiac were this way and that,
Shooting stars were right above me, over the seat where I sat.

I went to a planetarium that day
To visit the stars and the Milky Way,
Now when I look at the night from my room,
I see lots more than just the stars and the Moon...

I Died Last Night

I died last night, in that deep blue sea
Why weren’t you there, when you had promised to be,
In the cold water, I called your name
But u didn't come when things were not the same.

Each wave of the water, pulled me deep inside
I couldn’t get you out of my head, no matter how much I tried,
Thinking of you in my last moment, I guess that’s just fair
Before I give up, tell me, did you ever really care?

I died last night, in that deep blue sea
But I had stopped living, the day you set me free...

If Only

If only I could write a beautiful poem
I would write it specially for you,
So that we forever remain, so very true
With more than a goodness, like something new.

Like the everlasting stay of the sky so blue
Like the purple flower at dawn holding the dew,
Something that never fades away with time
Like the memories put together in a rhyme.

This friend always wants a smile for you
And will not be happy until you are too,
I can spend each and every day with you
No matter what you say and what you do.

With happiness that remain all through the year
Knowing that you will always be near,
With the happy feeling of living close to you
I would write the poem just for you...

I'm On My Own

I feel much better when I'm all alone,
I feel so together when I'm on my own,
No one can listen what I have to say,
No one can tell me where I have to stay.

I hate being around people,
They always bring me down,
I wish they would just go away,
Then maybe I wouldn't frown.

My life is so screwed up,
And no one understands,
They don't know the pain I feel,
They don't care to put in their hands.

But I guess I'm good off alone,
Things are just better this way,
I'm free to do what I want to,
And not what others say...

I Doubt...

I doubt anyone would write for me
Since I so rarely get,
The things I set my heart upon
The things I might regret.

So little do I now expect
And have little hope or fear,
I draw a circle around myself
And find my pleasure there.

I do not like my acquaintances
nor do they like me,
Their words are hard, like jagged rocks
Their trembling eyes like scree.

Alone I read, I dream, I shout
With my music loud I wait,
For something that will never come
I blame my faultless fate.

I throw myself upon others' will
Yet know none will ever say,
The words that show me to myself
And burn my heart away...
