Autumn Left (a poem)

Memories gathered
by sensuous lips
whispering sweet lullabies

A continuous tide of
times gone by
captured inside her eyes

Unlike autumn leaves
memories invincible
in vain she tries

her whispers unheard
thick fog of distance hinders
in silence she cries

Sunday-not my quote day,October 25th 2015...my perspective (a poem)

"I don't have anything to prove to anybody,which is a lovely place to be"
-Edward Norton

You Need Not

Mute those voices
pay no heed
trust yourself
live free
don't crave acceptance
others' minds not your territory
don't let them affect you
when none agrees
break these shackles
don't make your vulnerability
your Achilles' heel
-Seema Tabassum(me)

Sunday-not my quote day,October 18th 2015...my perspective (a poem)

"The purpose of life is not to be happy.It is to be useful,to be honourable,to be compassionate,to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Make A Difference

Bring light to someone's life
bring colours to their day
bring tears of joy to someone's eyes
bring smiles to their face
bring love to someone's heart
bring peace to someone's soul
bring a flood of positivity on your part
and depth of wisdom galore
with your special touch
make a substantial difference live as such
start with a kind word   yes just that much
shine bright   illuminate everything that you touch
- Seema Tabassum(me)

Sunday-not my quote day,October 11th 2015...my perspective

How sad and bad and mad it was but then how it was sweet
-Robert Browning

Don't we always look back at the past and say 'those were good days' even if we had some turbulent times...teaches us something...that even if are unhappy now or going through tough days,in the near future we are going to look back at this time and laugh or joke or just smile thinking...maybe even associate some great memories,memories that we'll cherish forever...somedays all the turbulence all the pain of the past seems so reasonable somehow...maybe because now we can see how that bad phase led to one thing after another and formed a chain of events that eventually led us to this happy place we are in now...what i want to say is,if you are happy now,enjoy,if you are not just know this phase will pass and wonder about how you'll be reminiscing these days fondly...maybe you'll even miss these days,who knows...have faith.

Autumn (a poem by Abbu)

This is actually a song Abbu(my eight year old boy) wrote and composed,here it is in his handwriting,I've helped him with the words only in one place where I asked him to add 'without you' towards the end and the artwork too is Abbu's.He also has taught himself to strum a guitar(toy) to play the exact tune in which he sings,I find that awesome,I'll upload a video someday,hopefully.
I showed him a beautiful poem by a friend of mine,Stormy Seas and he came up with this,hopefully you'll like..thank you.

Sunday-not my quote day,October 4th 2015...my perspective

"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming"
-Pablo Neruda

This can be applied to love too,one can place a hundred hurdles but one can never stop anybody from loving....love knows no hurdles,no boundaries,no limits,cannot differentiate right from wrong,love truly absolutely blind,just knows to fall,sometimes for a hundred reasons sometimes none,sometimes beauty attracts,sometimes we find beauty in the ugliness,sometimes we change our own rules to pave love,sometimes make new rules to cope with the flood love is,sometimes run after someone blindfolded,trusting completely,sometimes do the impossible,unimaginable,unthinkable,incapable,so yes love unstoppable....I dare you to stop those feelings you have for anybody,is it in your hands to do so....can you shut your feelings off or switch them on willingly....I think not...I am not telling you to flow with the feelings,all I am saying is we have no control when it comes to love...love is well, a big hole in the heart....bigger than the world and there are all kinds of love for all kinds of people in that hole...love beautiful   yet painful  yet gives joy  yet makes you cry   yet you breathe   yet you suffocate....I don't think there is anything as complex and confusing as love is or anything that evokes as many emotions or storms in the heart as love does...do you?
