I walk along this lonely high way working all my way with the few opportunities and great hopes for the future.I glance at the rugged mountains covered with thick blanket of snow .These beautiful landscapes uncover their beauty with the ascending sun intruding onto their body leaving beautiful diamond droplets.
The withering flowers and the draping winds re-gather the reminiscences of
life and the stages I've gone through capturing and seizing every opportunity that comes my way and trying to channel the energies I have got.Making the right decisions at the right time and allowing space for them to fruit into the right path.Life always give a second opportunity so your loved ones.I don't believe in the general belief that if you fail to seize the right opportunity at the right time;you'll not get it.Because life is long and is long enough for you to make mistakes and learn from them.Black days in life are like the blanket of snow which disappear by a new day; and diamond droplets the new niche to venture and drive yourself to success.
Success is measured by not what you win but how you did.And in the process
even if you fail,leave the withered flowers;winning every heart in the path
you've gone through.
Get rejuvenated by music and every wind of energy that blows in your territory of life.

Yesterday you asked me something
I thought you knew
So i told you with a smile
Its all about you
Then you whispered in my ear
And you told me too
Said you make my life worthwhile
Its all about you


And i would answer all your wishes
If you ask me to
But if you deny me one of your kisses
Don't know what I'd do
So hold me close
And say three words like you used to do
Dancing on the kitchen tiles
Its all about you, yeah!

I was sitting by the edge of the cliff
staring at the dawn and glimpses of life
when you were not beside me;
How void a life it was without you,but
The breeze reverts me to the aura of
the times we have been together
and I can see the depths of life now
I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
Then I saw you looking back at me
And I knew that for a moment
You were calling out my name
And I knew that you'll come back to me
Because you love me more than I do

This is a beautiful love letter which I came across in "Message in a bottle"

--------
My Dearest Catherine,

I miss you my darling as I always do, but today is especially hard because the ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together. I cam almost feel you beside me as I write this letter, and I can smell the scent of wildflowers that always reminds me of you. But at this moment, these things give me no pleasure. Your visits have been coming less often, and I feel sometimes as if the greatest part of who I am is slowly slipping away.

I am trying, though. At night when I am alone, I call for you, and whenever my ache seems to be the greatest, you still seem to find a may to return to me. Last night, in my dreams, I saw you on the pier near Wrightsville Beach. The wind was blowing through your hair, and your eyes held the fading sun light. I am struck as I see you leaning against the rail. You are beautiful, I think I see you, a vision that I can never find in anyone else. I slowly begin to walk toward you, and when you finally turn to me, I notice that others have been watching you as well. "Do you know her?" they ask me in jealous whispers, and as you smile at me, I simply answer back with the truth. "Better than my own heart."

I stop when I reach you and take you in my arms. I long for this moment more than any other. It is what I live for, and when you return my embrace, I give myself over to this moment, at peace once again.

I raise my head and gently touch your cheek and you tilt your head and close your eyes. My hands are hard and your skin is soft, and I wonder for a moment if you'll pull back, but of course you don't. You never have, and it is at times like this that I know what my purpose is in life.

I am here to love you, to hold you in my arms, to protect you. I am here to learn from you and to receive your love in return. I am here because there is no other place to be.

But then, as always, the mist starts to form as we stand close to one another. It is a distant fog that rises from the horizon, and I find that I grow fearful as it approaches. It slowly creeps in, enveloping the world around us, fencing us in as if to prevent escape. Like a rolling cloud, it blankets everything, closing, until there is nothing left but the two of us.

I feel my throat begin to close and my eyes well-up with tears because I know it is time for you to go. The look you give me at that moment haunts me. I feel your sadness and my own loneliness, and the ache in my heart that had been silent for only a short time grows stronger as you release me. And then you spread your arms and step back into the fog because it is your place and not mine. I long to go with you, but your only response is to shake your head because we both know that is impossible.

And I watch with breaking heart as you slowly fade away. I find myself straining to remember everything about this moment, everything about you. But soon, always too soon, your image vanishes and the fog rolls back to its faraway place and I am alone on the pier and I do not care what others think as I bow my head and cry and cry and cry.

Garrett

Far away in the moon light
An over-whelming sight
Dim and dark mountains spread
their grace; Her beauty unshred

I sit back in my chair at nine
With her and a glass of wine,
Beind the shadow of fire-light
With my lucite pen to write

Flowers shed their fragrance
Birds flocking to their nests
I long for the right word quests
I opt this time for pleasance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~nirvana

Dear Friend
I wish I call you,For the times that last,
And relish the moments we had in the past;
I wish I knock at your door
And say Hi to you and the other four
Running this rat race for living,
Of late I realised is no winning
I wish I steal time for us,
For our friendship is endless
Today I met the other four
But learnt that you're no more

I wish I knock at your door!
I wish!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~nirvana

The Moon swings back to elope
A charm of Humming birds Fly, quick
In the air above,as high as hope
When I listen to their Sound of Music

I sit beside the lake
My gaze transfixed in the fire
Ever young is the ripe flake
When my heart pounds with desire

Have seen many-a-few,
Whose words are a honey dew;
My heart wanders for her love
I need a metaphor for my dove

Alone leaves me my mate
In the woods of desire
All day I eagerly wait
And sigh my breath in the mire
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~nirvana

Figuring out things,
May take a while
Don't let your wings
Race down a mile
