In your eyes, I saw my life, Blossoming like a fragrant flower, With all its beauty and elegance, Like a queen with all her grace. In your eyes, I saw that flame, Which burnt my eyes to find a way to the heart, The light which brightened my soul, The fire which engulfed me whole. In your eyes, I saw lyrics of a beautiful song, Bringing rain to a deserted heart, A melody, so divine soothing my body and mind, The music which unknotted emotions of all kind. In your eyes, I saw myself, With well guarded walls,protecting myself from another hurt, Scarred and bruised from old deep wounds, Standing tall with my perfectimperfections. -JMJ
The Diary Of The Leaves (This picture was taken a year back)– JMJ
Fallen leaves lying down in disgrace, While waiting to be crumbled and crushed by others, They feel the ground, so cold and dead, And see the grey sky with no rayofhope. They remember the spring when they were new and fresh, So beautiful, green and tender, They were the best companions of the tree whom they adored, And shared everything with each otherso that they couldgrow.
Then came the summer where they loved to give shelter, To everyone who came to them from the scorching sun, Or from the downpour in June, Their compassion and care helped others to live, love and breed. In autumn, they brought colors into life, The trees adorned them like precious ornaments, Enjoying everyone's attention and praise, They were at their peak. Then, they started to fall, Some even didn't try, But others gave a fight with the wind, Not willing to let go off that tiny little connection with their mate.
Lying on the ground they can see the bare tree, their old companion, The squirrels, birds and the insects to whom they gave shelters to, And the people who found shade under them too. So now, they are waiting for winter eagerly, To cover themselves with snow, To erase all the memories, To forget and to be forgotten. -JMJ
It was so wonderful to have you in my hands, That I jumped in excitement like a kid, I hugged and praised all your colourful features, And my heart swelled with pride because I knew that you belonged to me. When the wind came, you started to flutter, And I knew that you wanted to fly high in the sky, So, I carefully chose the string to tie it with you, Then ran towards the highest peak that I ever knew.
I looked for the wind directions to help you with your flight, And slowly detached myself from you for your wish to come true, When I saw your happiness I had to cut the string that attached you with me, To let you go,to see you roam freely. But, when the wind settles and you find that there is not even a breeze, To keep you motivated with your flight, Find your way back home, And I will be waiting with the perfect string to launch you back in the sky. -JMJ
Please leave your comments on the post as I would really love to read them.
Last night I saw you on my way, Talking to someone and walking away, I saw you were all smiling and happy with your life, While you made me to think all about my life. Last night I saw you turned to look at me, And your helpless eyes spoke to me, I felt a twitch in my heart as I saw the sea infront of you, Were you happy for yourself or for someone that you knew? Last night I saw that you were saying goodbye, While wind whispered in my ears all the secrets of your eye, In that cold dark night I saw your tears coming through, Last night I think I dreamt of you. -JMJ
With a flawless skin which has no sign of aging, And dark long hair which can be really engaging, Deep blue eyes which has an ocean inside, Anyone would love to dive in without knowing what is inside, She has a perfect smile that can lit up the sky, But with a dark heart reflecting all the evils under the sky.
Other one is an epitome of ugliness that's how the world see, With no facial features or perfect teeth, People loveto swipe quickly as her picture comes on screen, But her acts of kindnesses are always honoured behind the screen. Her eyes are doves symbolizing peace and love, And hands so warm that can calm any storm with a touch or a hug, She is a free spirit woman who you can never tame, So, if I want to define beauty what it would be? -JMJ
Do you feel like sometimes whatever you do to make things right it’s not enough? You try and keep on trying to make other people’s life easier and happier but ultimately, you get blamed for the things that you never did.
You feel like everyone’s fingers are pointing on you and you don’t even know why? People take advantage of your silence because you don’t want to hurt others by telling the truth. Every morning you get up hoping that it would be a good day and try to be positive but you overhear people saying lies about you and spreading gossips.
You feel like to shout on top of your voice saying to the whole world that you are innocent but all you can do is swallow your words and take shelter in the dark corner of a room. You feel like you are walking on the eggshells.
Do you feel like even if you are honest about each and everything, everyone will make you a liar because that is what they want for their reputation and benefits? Have you ever felt how cold the world can be?
Something strange happened today, I got a smile for the rest of the day, We met a charming lady on our way to the shop, While I was rushing through and said my girl to chop chop. This woman at an elderly age, Was sitting on a wheelchair and looked like a sage, She waved,smiled and gave my child a shake hand, It gave me a feeling like someone has already planned, To meet a stranger and to make my day, I would love to meet a stranger like her everyday. -JMJ
As years pass by, I wonder if would ever see anyone to whom I said goodbye, All my friends from my childhood, And the people who lived in my neighborhood.
The teachers who taught me the right from wrong, My first crush with whom I never got along, The people who encouraged me to dance and paint, The grandma next door who told the story of a saint.
As years pass by, I wonder to how many people I have said goodbye, The people who once I thought that I could not live without, Now, sometimes I think what was that about?
As years pass by, I wonder how fast the time flies by, If I could ever walk back my life, I would never miss a chance to say a proper goodbye even though we had a strife. -JMJ
I'm here, I'm right here, Waiting for my time to blossom. Will the sun caress me with it's light? Or will the clouds sprinkle love on me with it's droplets?
I'm here, I'm right here, Waiting to open myself to the world. Will they accept my beauty as natural as it is? Or will they compare me to the flower next to me?
I'm here, I'm right here, Waiting to give my smell to the world. Will they love me as I'm, no matter from where I belong? Or will they try to pluck me and put me somewhere, thus losing my home?
I'm here, I'm right here, Waiting to see the world. Can I give happiness and hope to the world the way I'm? Or should I be worried about my future? -JMJ
Strength is when you get up every morning, And all you want is to do moaning, Instead you decide to get dressed, Believing that you are amazingly blessed.
Strength is when you are in a rabbit hole, But try to put a smile on every soul, And even when you are tired to take another step, You lend a hand who have fallenon their doorstep.
Strength is when your heart bleeds, Still take the decisions according to their needs, Even though the person has hurt you so much, You just hope for their happiness without any grudge.
Strength lies in our values and integrity, It lies in understanding our talent and capability, Strength is not only physical but emotional and mental too, It's walking in the darkness keeping your head high and believing that you will getthrough. -JMJ
