Zen !

a new venture
a new journey
each day
every moment

a little chaos

 many memories
loads of magic
even more dreams

No rush

no tears

just 'this' moment

no fears

just being with you

who possesses the most beautiful heart

the most friendly hand

the kindest of eyes

....You are my favorite face in this universe :)

and 

through the eyes of my soul
I wish to read 

that otherness
 that your eyes reflect!

Capture your Dreams!

Sharing my poem "Dreams"

  Oh ! How I wish

to make

a leap...

on the back 

of the crazy wind...

take a deep dive

and then soar again...

dip my glorious

budding

wings

in the orange sun rays...

soak ...

in the cool

breeze,

dare ...

to claim 

the sky!

In my little eye

the globe...

I wish to

carry!

And in my heart

symphony!

Oh ! How I wish 

to reach out...

to the end 

of the map

and with my beak

leave a mark

 there

and everywhere !!

Tear Off that Mask...Your face is glorious!

I only speak of the Sun

because the Sun is my Beloved 

I worship even the dust at His feet.

I am not a night-lover and do not praise sleep

I am the messenger of the Sun !

Secretly I will ask Him and pass the answers to you.

Like the Sun I shine on those who are forsaken

I may look drunk and disheveled but I speak the Truth.

Tear off the mask, your face is glorious,

your heart may be cold as stone but

I will warm it with my raging fire.

No longer will I speak of sunsets or rising Moons,

I will bring you love's wine

for I am born of the Sun

I am a King !

~ Rumi
