"fortune cookie"

She smiled and cracked a fortune cookie.
She read,"you are in the presence of your soul mate".

I smiled looking at the fortune cookie in two halves and said,
"Over a dead body,definitely in the presence of a soul".

I remember change in her facial expression.
I remember at least the soul part of fortune cookie was right !

"this one for you efriends"

I recently read this, and I thought to share with my efriends.
So I am sharing...................

"I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches.If suffering alone taught,then all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers.To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love,openness, and willingness to remain vulnerable".
-Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"that's LIFE"

That's life,that's memory.....that's LIFE !!

Look............
Pretty faces.
Pretty hair.
Pretty smiles.
Pretty bodies.
Pretty people.

Keep looking.....
Wrinkled faces.
Losing hair.
Fading smiles.
Sagging boobs.
Aging bodies.

Hollywood. Bollywood. Lollywood. Wall street. Main street.

For all of us,
A celebrity or not a celebrity.
That's life,that's memory......that's LIFE !!

'past,present,future'

Traffic Lights:
Red, Yellow, Green.
Are like Past, Present, Future!

Red saying ‘stop‘: no change, no going back.
Yellow saying ‘watch’ : one chance only.
Green saying ‘go go go‘: no choice,move on with the flow.

Now I understand, why the yellow light is the shortest !

"coin a word"

When we have a problem,
We coin a word, say 'Nazi'.
Then we all hate that !!

When we have a problem,
We coin a word, say 'Terrorist'.
Then we all hate that !!

Now we have a problem,say with 'Man'.
Lets coin a word, say "Human'
So we all can love that !!

"I was not mean"

I was not mean !!
I was "just ensuring my own survival".
"Some time saying No is the ultimate self care".

She was pretty.
She was passionate.
I was good looking.
I was smart
She was on the edge
I was on the edge.
She was mourning the first loss.
I was mourning the first loss.

I was not mean !!
I was "just ensuring my own survival".
."Some time saying No is the ultimate self care."

"you became someone like out there"

I fought battles day in and day out there.
keeping those battles............. out there !!

Those were the battles of survival,remember:"survival of the fittest".
Then,I came back to my oasis in the desert of desires.
I was blamed.
I was ridiculed.
A curse was casted upon by whom:
"When you became someone like out there" !!

I thought:
I may win all battles,I am a warrior,
I am thirsty...................
If I can quiche my thirst from the oasis in the desert of desires.
I may win all battles,I am a warrior.

But there was no oasis,that was a mirage.
And I lost all battles,when you became someone like out there.

"just for a moment"

The snow fall just stopped and the sun came up in the sky.
Here I was on the ski range,
Standing in front of her face to face like a dream come true.

She looked so beautiful:
Like a white pearl,perfect curves and full lips.

I was in ecstasy !!

Then the moment of truth came upon and
I saw that snow statue melting away.
Surely some moments are true just for a moment.

"anion gap"

I was old,she was young,
And we fall in love..........!

I saw in her my younger heart,I loved so much.
She saw in me her aging grace,she loved so much.
I saw in her my beating heart,I loved her so much.
She saw in me her glowing grace,she loved me so much.

I was old,she was young.
And we fall in love..........!

Then the call came,I saw her sad.
I said,"hey you believer,lover, don't be sad".
"When I leave,I will be waiting for you at the pearly gate"
"Don't be in rush,take your time".
She smiled and said,
"It's good to know someone at a new place, I am glad it will be you"
"Our love is for eternity"
I said with a smile"And the added perk, we will stay young forever".
She smiled and said,"hey, I want my old one".

I was old,she was young,
And we fall in love..........!

"Though there was an anion gap,but our love knew no gap"

"not interested"

I was standing there at the ocean with the Full Moon up in the sky.

I saw ocean waves with a crazy dance in ecstasy.
Like those drunken waves wanted to touch the sky and kiss the moon.

I saw a lonely moon,full and glowing bright up in the sky with an attitude:
"Not interested".

I remembered Me:
My crazy dance in ecstasy,"very much interested".
I remembered You:
You as my moon with an attitude,"not interested".

"a framed butterfly"

We are young now, we will be old then.
We are in love now, we will be in love then.
Why can't we capture these moments like time in a sand bottle?
Why can't we capture these moments like time in a framed butterfly?

I am young now, I will be old then.
You are young now, you will be old then.
Why can’t we capture these moments like a baby’s first teeth smile?
Why can’t we capture these moments like an adult‘s first gray hair look?
Why can’t we capture these moments like a picture of ‘I do” ?
Why can’t we capture these moments like a picture of “honeymoon"?

I am young now, I will be old then.
You are young now, you will be old then.
Our memory won't hold our love then,
Amnesia will be taking over love then.

"Lets love now to make love then"

"house of gods"

Romance is in the air, it's the valentine......... !!
She smiled and said,
"I'm a Libra,the goddess of love,I like romance"
I looked at her and said with a smile in my eyes,
"Wow,I am a Libra too,so it means I am the god of love"
Then I put my desire in words with anticipation and I said,
"Let's built a house of gods" !!
As our eyes met,we saw gods were LOL upon us !!

"Friday The Thirteenth"

So things happened as it does happen in life so............!!

I write a letter to you every day to tell you, "how you made me feel then"
You made me feel alive,
You made me feel desirable,
You made me feel most wanted,
You made me feel complete.

I write a letter to you every day to tell you,"I miss you now"
I miss you so much,
I miss you this much,
I miss you very much,
I miss you too much.

I write a letter to you every day to tell you,"I am sorry now"
I am sorry,it didn't work out.
I am sorry,it was not meant to be.
I am sorry,you were too good for me.
I am sorry,it was not you,it was me.

I write a letter to you every day to tell you,"what went wrong then?"
I was idiot,you were smart.
I was ugly,you were pretty.
I was angry,you were cool.
I was wrong,you were right.

I write a letter to you every day to tell you,"my heart's secret desires now"
I want to hold you tight.
I want to kiss you there.
I want to make you laugh.
I want to be your hero.

Alas !
So much to tell,so much to write.
So this valentine I wrote a letter to you.
But it came back today with a stamp:
" Friday The Thirteenth:Letter Return to the Sender"

"chocolate"

I know how to say in :
Urdu: Chacalate
English: Chocolate
Spanish: Chocolate
Italian : Cioccolato
French: Chocolat
German: Schokolade.
You never know, what she may say !!
But I am ready.

I know what I want.
I should knock the door.
I should ask ,‘be mine’ !!

"I hate you so much"

Once upon a time,
I told her,"I am learning palmistry and kinda believe in it"
She got upset and said."you know,that is against my religion"
I said,"it is also against my religion"
"but I am kinda hypocrite,let me prove it you"
Then I asked her to show me her hands:
'Let's see first right hand then left"
Then I held her hands and ran my fingers on her palm.
She smiled.
Then I brought her hands close to my eyes and said:
'Your hands are very pretty".
She said,"I know"
"So I am right' I said
"Yeah,but what else"she asked.
"That's it,this is my palmistry,a chance to hold your pretty hands"
I said with a smile,"I was trying to guess your ring size".
She withdrew her hands and said,"I hate you so much".
Now I know,she was right !!!

"see you soon babe"

Finally she came in black and stood there silently.
With her starry eyes, trembling hands, silent lips,
She laid down a bouquet of flowers on the grave.
The bouquet was addressed to: “Love”
From ‘Garden of Four Desires: Past, Present ,Future and Eternity’ !!
A tear drop rolled down on her face and she said:
“I kept you waiting for me in this life”
“I will be forever yours in the after life”
“I do love you”
“I won’t be too late this time, see you soon babe”
Then she wore the ring I have given her before I left !!

"depression in my times"

I told them,"I am depressed".
I have all signs and symptoms of depression:
No emails.
No phone calls.
No text messages.
And sometimes, I send myself:
"You got a mail"email.
"Hey you" call.
"I love you"text message.
"These are the new signs of depression in my times",I said.
They agreed and wrote on my chart"severe depression with email,text,call withdrawal"
Need urgent treatment !!

"I will keep dancing"

Love is a tango dance of two.
But for now,I will dance solo:
On the beat of my heart,
On the rhythm of my breath,
On the pulse of my time,
On the steps of my soul.
Until we meet again,
I will keep dancing.

"a valentine on moon"

I do remember our first Valentine:
I said,"yes".
You said, "yes".
The first time our lips said," hello"
The first time our hands felt,"abstract"
The first time our bodies said, "hi"
The first time our minds said,"don't stop"
That was our first Valentine:
I said, "yes".
You said, "yes".
We were flying high in the garden of thousand desires.
We were diving deep in the bliss of one desire.
That was our first Valentine:
I said, "yes".
You said,"yes".

That was our first Valentine:
We named, "A Valentine on Moon" !!

"enough is enough"

"Enough is enough", I said looking at me in the mirror.
"So much talk about love",
"Fairy tales",
"Soul mates",
"Forever together".

"And then",
"Walking away",
"Breaking away",
"Falling apart".

"Heartaches,heart breaks,heart failures"

I told me looking in the mirror,"hey,I will just love you"."I mean me" !!
"Enough is enough,I'm gonna be a 'aclassic' lover" !!

"these are the symbols of my tribe"

“Yes,I am an addict”
“I refused treatment then, I refuse treatment now”
“I will keep my wounds open”,I declared.

Then I said,
“These wounds are the wounds I want to keep”.
“These are the wounds I am protecting from healing”.
“These are the wounds I am keeping as your souvenir to me”

I shouted,
“These wounds are a precious gift, inflicted as a tribal tradition of love”.
“These are the symbols of my tribe”
“I refused treatment then, I refuse treatment now.”

"nothing new out there"

There is nothing new out there in this universe of mine.
Only I am seeing this for the first time.

There is nothing new out there in this life of mine.
Only I am having this for the first time.

There is nothing new out there in this love of mine.
Only I am feeling this for the first time.

There is nothing new out there in this galaxy of mine.
Only I am travelling this for the first time.

"I am on a valentine sabbatical"

I read:"There are no coincidences".
Then, I am on a valentine sabbatical...........!!

I saw the Snow was falling,
Turning the naked trees into a bubble bath fantasy,
That view was picture perfect.
Then,
I saw the Sun shinning over those snow covered trees.
That view was picture perfect.
Then,
I saw the full Moon glowing over those snow covered trees.
That view was picture perfect.
Then,
I heard the Wind blowing over those snow covered trees.
There was a rhythm: Allah hoo, Allah (inhale) hoo(exhale)
I felt "The Breath of the Universe".
That view was picture perfect.

I read:"There are no coincidences".
Then, I am on a valentine sabbatical.............!!

"my valentine day oath"

Even when I said,"I do".
She wanted 'a proof' of my statement !!

So I raised my right hand and said:
"I was in love".
"I am in love" .
"I will be in love" .
"I will live in love".
"I will die in love" .

I declared,"I chose my own poison".

Though things happened as it does happen in life.
I do remember my valentine day oath !!

"this is in our DNA"

Once upon a time,Two Brain'ees fall in love.
One of them was me..............................!

We loved to have short and long brain storming,
I remember,the first time:
She asked me about my hobby.
I said,"thinking,thinking all the time"
She smiled,"It can't be a hobby,it sounds like a full time job"
"May be thinking through can be a hobby"
I said,"yes, going through while seeing through is a good one"
Those twinkles in our eyes made it obvious:
She was happy about our brain child.
I was happy about our brain sex.
We concluded,"this is in our DNA"

Once upon a time,Two Brain'ees fall in love.
One of them was me..............................!

"May you rest in peace in lover's paradise"

"He was mine","She was mine"

As you see now,the end of the story is the same.
Lets mourn the death of this love:
The love which was ours, as we claim.
Now lying dead in the garden of thousand desires.
We have been here before,
We will be back after tomorrow.

As you see now,the end of the story is the same.
Lets mourn the death of this love.
Make two graves:One for our lover and one for ourselves.
Each tomb stone written as:
"LOVER"
Born:when two hearts met
Died:when two hearts broke
"May you rest in peace in lover's paradise"
