Verse About Open-heartedness

In childhood, all of us were open-hearted.
"What have you got for breakfast?"
"Nothing." - "Fine,
I've got a piece of bread with jam and butter.
So you can take a part of bread of mine."
Now all of us have changed, as years have passed.
No one of us is asking anyone,
"What's on your heart? Is not there any darkness?
So you can take a part of light of mine."

I Will Remain Your Belief












Our world is going on its spiral turn,
it's disappearing in placid milky distance.
The sands of days are rapid as they flow
unrolling our paths into the endlessness...
And when you go into the morning rain,
by path unclear, tangled and unstable,
I will remain for you like clear day,
like evening song, like night which is so gentle.
Wherever you direct your faithful ships,
whichever storms would threaten them with anger,
I pray that black clouds would just pass sideways,
and if not, then for wounds to heal up sooner.
And then I will be like lighthouse, which
black clouds won't destroy surrounding it.
You know, my brave one, where your house is,
the place where you are waited, you are loved.
I will accept it all. Forget despair.
In boundless love I will dissolve your pain.
Wherever you will make your way again,
I will remain as your belief - forever.

Quisiera conocerte - I'd like to know you

Quisiera conocerte, saber como es tu aroma,

que piensas, que sientes cada día, cada hora

déjame conocerte, mirarte, tocarte,

escucharte cantar... no solo leerte.

Quisiera conocerte, saber como eres,

tus valores, tus ideales, los sueños que tú tienes

Quisiera conocerte más de lo que te he leído

saber como es tu risa, tu mundo, tus amigos,

déjame conocerte y que tu me conozcas,

aunque he desnudado mi alma en todo lo que escribo...

Quisiera conocerte, tomarte de la mano

conocer los sentimientos de un ser extraordinario,

déjame conocerte, no solo pensarte,

pues con tus escritos, has logrado cautivarme

I’d like to know you, to learn what is your aroma,

What do you think of, what do you feel every day, every hour.

Let me know you, look at you, touch you,

Listen your singing… not only read you.

I’d like to know you, to learn what are you,

Your values, your ideals, dreams that you have,

I’d like to know you more than that you’ve read,

To learn what is your laugh, your world, your friends,

Let me know you so that you know me,

Though I’ve bared my soul in everything I write.

I’d like to know you, to take your hand,

To know the feelings of this extraordinary being,

Let me know you, not only think of you,

Since you’ve managed to captivate me with your writings.

Suddenly found in the net

I WAIT ...
by devashish saxena

I wait ...
     to see your eyes
     to smell your hair
     to touch your face
     to kiss your forehead

I wait ...
     patiently
     with hope
     with fear
     anxiously

I wait ...
     to hug you
     to hold you in my arms
     to watch you sleep
     to buy you everything

I wait ...
     lovingly
     with my fingers crossed
     with prayers
     anxiously

I wait ...
     for your return.

Tera mera rishta puraana

Tera yakeen kyun maine kiya nahi?
Tujhse raha kyun judaa?
Mujh pe yeh zindagi karti rahi sitam
Tu ne hi di hai panah
Tera mera rishta puraana

Hai kya tadap hai, hai yeh kaisi sazaa?
Tu kyun mujhe aaj yaad aa gaya?
Bechain din mere, bechain raat hai…
Kya main karu kuchh bata… 
Hain mere paaon hi khud meri bediyaan.
Mujhse mujhe tu chooda.
Tera mera rishta puraana

Kya mujh mein hai shaks woh keh raha
Aa ab main du karz tera chuka…
Aankhein hain nam meri, saasein chubhan meri…
Zakhm hua phir hara
Dil ke viraane mein.
Mere phasaane mein
Tu hi to har dum raha.
Tera mera rishta puraana

Celine Dion again

My favourite song “A New Day Has Come” is playing in my head again.

“I’ve waiting for so long for a miracle to come. Everyone told me to be strong, hold on and don’t shed a tear. Through the darkness and good times I knew I’d make it through, and the world thought I had it all - but I was waiting for you.

Hush now, I see the light in the sky…  oh…  it’s almost blinding me. I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel with love…
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears, let it fill my soul and drown my fears. Let it shadder the walls for a new sun - a new day has come…

Where it was dark now there’s light. Where there was pain now there’s joy. Where there was weakness I’ve found my strength, oh, in the eyes of a boy.

Hush now…”

Poets Of The Fall - All The Way / 4 U

another song that drives me crazy

Seems to matter what I do, so I'm saving this 4 U
Cos it seems to be the last piece there is
And you haven't had a chance yet to taste this
Fragments of a life you shouldn't miss

Seems to matter what I say, so I'll hold my tongue at bay
And rather use my mouth to kiss your frown away
So your doubts no longer darken your day
So you can hold your head up high come what may

So please remember that I'm gonna follow through all the way

Cos it seems to matter where I go, I will always let you know
That the place where I am is never far
You know, you're not alone, don't be alarmed
I'll find you no matter where you are

So please remember that I'm gonna follow through all the way

Oh my love, if it's all I can do, I'll take the fall 4 U
Cos I will soar when I lay down with you and give my all 4 U

Poets Of The Fall - Someone Special


this song just drives me crazy…

 

I wake up to the sound of rain upon my sill
Pick up the pieces of my yesterday old thrill
Can I deliver this used up shiver
To how I pronounce my life
And leave it up to faith to go by its own will

*Refrain

Back row to the left
A little to the side
Slightly out of place
Look beyond the light
Where you'd least expect there's someone special

A foggy morning greets me quietly today
I smell a fragrance in the wind blowing my way
And ever further I run to find her
I yearn to define my life
Placing my faith in chance to meet me in half way

*Refrain

And she's here to write her name
On my skin with kisses in the rain
Hold my head and ease my pain
In a world that's gone insane...

Wonderful poem by Max Frei

Я домой не вернусь - решено! Это небо дрожит как вода...
Сколько тысяч шагов от болотных низин до холодной, как руки, луны?
Гнутся голые ветви под тяжестью птиц. Разум птицей кричит - не беда.
Пусть кричит. У меня есть в запасе последний глоток тишины.
Я домой не вернусь никогда, но зато доживу до утра.
Темный ветер и вечер холодный, луны поворот на ущерб - ничего!
Знаешь, птица, во мне не осталось ни капли раба и ни капли добра,
И ни капли любви, и ни капли меня самого.

I will not return home - it's decided! This sky is trembling like water...
How many thousands of steps from marsh lowlands to the moon which is cold like hands?
Bare branches bend under heavy birds. My mind cries like a bird - so what!
Let it cry. I have got my last drink of silence in stock.
I will never return home, but then I'll live till morning.
Dark wind and cold evening, moon is getting old - it's all right!
You know bird, inside me remains not a bit of slave and not a bit of good,
and not a bit of love, and not a bit of myself.
