~~ You Inspire Me ~~

In Sanskrit, they age old saying goes that the “Guru” holds an equal place as that of God. Coming of age, you are a great person always smiling and always ready to impart your knowledge and experiences you have learnt from life.

There is a certain charisma, aura and warmth about you which never fails to mesmerize me. No wonder, I can’t stop myself getting drawn towards your unconditional love.

You, sincerely, are a great person with experience, knowledge, boundless love and soulful beauty. You possess a soul that is unadulterated and young. You make me feel at home and as if I have known you for years.

Everything about you captivates me: your warmth, sense of humor, the way you impart your knowledge, eagerness to help others, optimism, your ground-to-earth nature and especially the innocence and assurance that your learned eyes reveal.

You have traveled and seen so much, and that enhances the beauty of your soul. In short, you are exceptionally beautiful…! Well words fall short when it comes to describe your persona. I would like to dedicate this poetry to you. Hope you like it….!!

Your strength inspires me.

Your existence gives me hope.

Your kindness makes me smile.

You've opened my eyes, my heart,

To realize the beauty in life…

Despite all the atrocious things in it.

Your inner beauty shines through…

Your smile and your laugh.

The way you brighten my day

Puts the sun to shame…

You walked into my life,

And I, I am keeping you there,

Because you are my inspiration.

You've inspired me to try my best,

Find my strength,

And live happily,

Because life's too short to worry about the bad things,

When the good things are right in front of you...

You inspire me to be a better person.

When I dream, you applaud.

When I cry, you listen.

You find the right tools and

Provide the knowledge to use them…

I feel closer to you than to anyone.

I can tell you anything and you can do the same.

We think alike in a lot of ways, that's why you are my best friend.

I hold you close to my heart, closer than anyone.

I think of you when I'm about to make a decision 

And laugh - thinking of what you would say…

I've never laughed so much with any other friend in my life. 

I couldn't imagine not having you by my side,

You are my friend, my hero,

And I need your strength and kindness here with me...

It’s amazing how both of us find the same things funny…

Two different women.

One great friendship.

And your inspiration.

I can linger on that forever.

P.S. Dedicated to my “Deutsch Lehrerin : Erika Eggemann”

~~~ Camouflage ~~~

Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial and practical purposes. They are usually worn on the face, although they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer’s body, so in parts of Australia giant totem masks cover the body, whilst Inuit women use finger masks during storytelling and dancing.

Now have a look on Goddess behind The Mask.

Eyes usually are the windows to the soul. All my life I waited: Thinking I would never fly

Then you looked and saw my wings: With your eyes that never lie

Oh, my darling angel: Guide me through this barren sky

If I’m lost I’ll see the way: In your eyes that never lie

The Goddess behind the mask.

The Emotions, the Beauty... whatever behind this mask is brilliantly captured.

These more photograph are carefully selected to share with you my most favorite photography style where you Judge Goddess from their eyes.

The hide and seek of the eyes and the confusion of thoughts that what exactly behind this mask?? 

Find yourself.

~~~ Sugar sprinkled cinnamon doughnuts - days ~~~

Some days are like sugar sprinkled cinnamon doughnuts you're tending to your senses with, after a long and tiring day at work.

They are not special, as the other days or planned getaways that you look forward to.

They are just those random moments that breeze by and usher comfort into your arms.

And you know everything's alright with the world.

That life is fun.

That there are some things that never change.

Some things that always cheer you up.

And the fact that you don't need too much to cheer up.

Some days make you realize, happiness does lie in the simplicity of it all.

~~~ Abysmally Endless ~~~

Infinitely negligible is how I feel when I look around the world I am decadently fortuitous to live in.

The millions of inspirations floating about, boundless ideas that regale me and at the same time tell me how ignorant I really am. And that I have so much to do, so much to accomplish, so much to learn, so many ways I can apply myself in, so many dimensions I could be in. And that knowledge is frightening and overwhelming and inspiring all at the same time.

Perhaps a bit baffling too. Baffling for not having known about that one new thing I came to know now, baffling to see all these frogs in the well around me who tell me I am being stupid when I tell them I would like to this, I would like to do that. Baffling not because they think I am stupid, but rather because of the fact that they do not perceive what I do. Baffling because they are so buried in their non-chalance soaked tombs, stenciled with watermarks of "this-is-the-best-I-can-be", that they do not feel the necessity of looking up and about and just notice.

Just notice! You do not have to go anywhere to find inspiration, to find how the world is so much more devastatingly glorious than what you thought, to realize that you are actually nothing with what you think you have or can do, and that the trek from what you are, to what you can be in endless.

Abysmally Endless...!!!

~~~ My vintage photograph ~~~

You are my vintage photograph,

Where our years stand yellowed and green.

A country swept dewy zephyr you appear,

Wonder what you did intervene.

There was a sweep of gold-dust here,

I saw the sun's foolhardy preen.

I would sing, but I don't want the pixies to know,

Where we hid all that sepia sheen.

~~~ Today ~~~

Today, stop and stare.

And behold, peruse and glare.

Walk back to me, to here and now.

Pick up the pieces, from here and there.

Today, lend the world some grace.

Halt and pocket some time and space.

Stretch your lips at the corners.

And light up your face.

~~~ Don't leave tonight. Stay. ~~~

Don't leave tonight.

Stay.

Stay here, and talk.

While chrysanthemums sway,

And the zephyr idles and runs.

Let the ambiguity that is love.

Leave notes on this night.

And the kisses yearn.

Stay.

And whisper.

Let your velvety voice,

From miles away,

Undulate the radio waves,

That saunter between us.

And let me long for you,

Like you long for me,

In this prurience that we cleave to.

Don't leave tonight.

Stay...!!!
