The Pink Kind Of Love

iScriblr_love

If we could buy love,
I would pick me up a bright pink one,
The one with frills, meshes and laces,
And a hint of shimmering-sunny ribbons.

I would forever carry that love in my heart,
For precious to me it will be,
No, I would not, never trade it,
On him I'll never cheat.

Flaunting my peachy love around,
I will bask in the righteous glory of pride,
Wearing my love on my sleeves,
I promise, I'll do him good till I die.

Such love is complicated to find, 
No stores in stock have it any more,
No burgundies, no maroons will my heart mend,
Only the pink ones have my cure.

If you happen to find my "pink" love, 
Will you keep it safe for me?
Tell him that I loved him,
I am sorry, together we couldn't be!

Freedom From Samsara

iScriblr_love

Baring it out for all to see,
She was an open booklet,
With a life so uncomplicated and free,
She seemed like a "picture-perfect" portrait,

With no mysteries and no dark secrets to hide,
She breezed her way through a satisfied life,
Riding with presence and poise the continuous animate tides,
She lived, she persisted, she thrived,

Fighting her battles and inner demons,
She'd discovered a whole new identity,
She'd risen to believe in Gods and Heavens, 
She progressed, trusting in humanity and generosity,

Her story is stirring - of introspection, rumination and valor,
Breaking free of infinite ciphers, she emerged as a SURVIVOR!

True Colors

iScriblr_true_colors

How often do we find ourselves doing things just because 
we have to and not because we want to? 
And yes, I am not talking about the hard work (desperate measures) 
aimed at achieving success at jobs (work place) 
or the obvious efforts to provide for your family. 
Here, I’m referring to the things we do just to please others 
and to project a certain image of ourselves to the world 
that isn’t even coherent with who we really are! 
How often have we worn a “mask” awaiting approval 
of our family, friends, colleagues or even the neighbor next door? 
How often have we lied to ourselves and forced ourselves into believing 
that we are "no good" and OTHERS are better? 
How often have we lived a "shallow" life, INVISIBLE to the world?

Well, I ask - How can you live your best lives, when “best” is defined by someone else?

Piercing my mettle,

You unsee my true colors,

Insensitive much!

I'm more than what meets the eye,

Why belittle me in vain?

Ambiguous Loyalty

iScriblr_love

Lost love,
Broken trust,
Forsaken promises,
Ambiguous loyalty,
Yet I survive,
Forgiving and forgetting again,
Not any regrets, only lessons.

Only lessons, not any regrets,
Again forgetting and forgiving,
Survive I yet,
Loyalty ambiguous,
Promises forsaken,
Trust broken,
Love lost.

How Will I Know?

iScriblr_love

My crippled heart is numb, 
My fractured dreams are shattered,
My hapless tears are dry, 
My overwhelmed soul is battered.

Anticipating your nuzzling affliction, 
On a bed of nails I perpetually wait,
Craving your valuing adoration,
I cuss and curse my catastrophic fate.

Tell me, did I not give in my best?
Oh why, oh why, did it not catch your attention yet?
How can you "smile" when all I do is speculate?
Was it LOVE? Or is it HATE?

How will I know?
