“Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.”
- Goncourt
Song: Pieces Song By: Red
Lyrics:
I’m here again
A thousand miles away from you
A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard
Thought I could do this on my own
I’ve lost so much along the way
Then I’ll see your face
I know I’m finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
I’ve come undone
But you make sense of who I am
Like puzzle pieces in your eye
Then I’ll see your face
I know I’m finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
I tried so hard, So hard,
I tried so hard…
Then I’ll see your face
I know I’m finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
So you can make me whole. . .”
“He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses”.
– You don’t have to know everything to be wise. You can be a highly educated person and still be dumb as a post in life. –
“When someone hurts you, cry a river, Build a bridge and get over it!”.
You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can try to smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and an day to love someone… but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
“Sometimes the help we need is not the help we want.
Do you know why God put people’s faces on the front of their bodies?
Faces are in front so people can see where they’re going, Not where they’ve been.
We have to go forward, not backward.”
“Love is broad; if you love someone, you love all things, not just their beauty. Love is narrow; you love one and only one, compared to them, no one matters.”
A. Braxton
I will not die an unlived life,
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire,
I choose to inhabit my days,
To allow my living to open me,
To make me more accesssible,
To loosen my heart until it becomes a wing,
A torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
To live so that what comes to me, as seed,
Goes to the next as blossom,
Then goes on to bear fruit.

I am pale with longing for my beloved;
People believe I am ill.
Seizing on every possible pretext,
I try to meet him “by accident.”
They have sent for a country doctor;
He grabs my arm and prods it;
How can he diagnose my pain?
It’s in my heart that I am afflicted.
Go home, country doctor,
Don’t address me by my name;
It’s the name of God that has wounded me,
Don’t force your medicines on me.
The sweetness of his lips is a pot of nectar,
That’s the only curd for which I crave;
Mira’s Lord is Giridhar Naagar.
He will feed me nectar again and again.
- Mirabai
– from Women Writing in India: 600 BC to the Present: Volume 1, Edited by Susie Tharu / Edited by K. Lalita
The beauty of a woman
Must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years-only grows
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world:
Someone to love,
Something to do,
and Something to hope for.
Thomas Edward Bodett
* Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
* When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us.
* The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.
* It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.
* Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they’ll love you back! Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn’t, be content that it grew in yours.
*It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
* Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
* Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
* May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
* Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
* The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
* Happiness lies ahead for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
* The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
* When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
* Remember that some of the world’s nicest joys are its most special people and that you are one of them.
* Imagine what the view will look like when you get where you’re going.
* When you’ve been working too hard, give your batteries time to recharge.
* One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself, “How did I get through all of that?” Just never let go of hope. Just never quit dreaming. And never let love depart from your life.
* Remember that you are someone who is thought of – with friendship and with love.

Surrounded by unknowns,
They cannot see my face.
Beneath my covers,
I hide my inner secrets.
No one knows who I am,
I do not wish to reveal it.
The true self which lies within,
Can never face the world.
For I have so much to hide,
And so little trust in you.
Love is the light you wear,
The radiant shining in your eyes
Love is a drop of water in your palm, blue and clear,
The sweet smell of honey on your skin.
Love is morning with sun crushing in,
Sun that rose in the middle of the night
Love is feeling your words on my skin,
A sea of burning rays diving into it.
Love is my thirst to look into your eyes,
Hunger for the sound of your voice
Love is the touch that never dies,
The burning of your kisses on my lips.
Love is a warm breeze escaped from the cold,
A drop of dew moistening the wings of a bird
Love is the end of loneliness and the dark,
The thorn you put into my heart.
Love is you beside me, though so far away,
The perfume of a sweet illusion
Love is a night breaking into day,
The memory of something good without a shape.
Love is the yearning for all your soul,
The smells of roses and mist becoming one
Love is being home
Bewitched with spells of the hearth.
Love is fantasy turned into reality,
Water easing over stone
Love is knowing you with clarity,
Freedom of a bird in flight.
Love is passion, obsession and craziness,
Being delirious because of happiness
Love is a fever that burns inside,
A fire that eats up the mind.
Love is the flame that sets your heart on fire,
The final rescue of a forgotten soul
Love is stepping over the edges of desire,
A lost dream taking shape.
Love is music for the deaf and sunlight for the blind,
Looking through a kaleidoscope full of funny glass
Love is the sound of your voice in the night,
The air filled with your presence.
Love is the meaning of life and the reason to be,
A wave swimming in the middle of an ocean
Love is you, love is me,
Fear of losing you, though you’re here.
PAIN IS LOVE AND LOVE IS BLISS
IT’S HARD GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS
BUT WHEN I SEE A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
I KNOW I’M IN A BETTER PLACE
Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong,
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can’t control,
So remember when your eyes meet mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you,
Right from the very start.
Teach me how to build a nest
I’ll teach you how to fly,
Teach me to reach the shore
I’ll teach you to swim and dive
Come, take my hand,
And together we shall see,
What’s on the other side.
“In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love you want the other person.”
An extensive operation on a 2-year-old girl born with four arms and four legs went “wonderfully well” doctors said Wednesday as they announced that she was safe and stable after more than 40 hours of surgery.
A team of 30 doctors successfully removed the child’s extra limbs, salvaged her organs, and rebuilt her pelvis area, Dr. Sharan Patil said Wednesday from a Bangalore hospital. The hospital’s foundation is paying for the operation.
“Beyond our expectations, the reconstruction worked wonderfully well,” Patil said.
Thank you Doctor. It’s your love towards humanity, Strong Desire for the Highest Good and Best Welfare of the World saved her..

Cute n Brave girl Laxmi
I feel as though the whole world
should be in love, constantly.
We should all be falling in and out
of love, breaking people’s hearts
and waiting for someone else
to heal ours. One love is a gorgeous thing,
but if you can’t find the one
then collect them all: slivers
of hearts or snippets of veins
and catch their blood in a vial.
I want to scream, wake up world!
Let’s fall in love! and walk through
the streets holding hands
with strangers and smiling at
that man walking around
with a piece of cardboard saying
‘free hugs’ and spreading joy
like butter.
And yet, I’ve only ever been in love
once. Who knows if he was worth it
then or worth it now,
but he’s the past.
Take my hand and kiss
my fingertips and I will
kiss your eyelids.
But if I fall out of love today,
I will leave come tomorrow.
By – Laala Kashef Alghata
Confined to a world that
doesn’t want me.
Is there any way to escape?
What is this “love” you speak
of.
This “love” does not exist in
my world.
My heart and mind try their
hardest to learn the ways of
loving, but they just can’t.
Saying that you love me is just
a way that you try to
make me feel better.
I say the same words that you
say to me, but it is just a
lie coming from my mouth.
I only utter those words because
you said them and my body
has no real idea the emotions
behind that phrase.
My heart has hardened itself
to learning or understanding
this emotion.
“Love…?”
Sweet dreams, my sweet,
Until the next day we meet.
Another eternity without your lovely face.
Another eternity longing for your embrace.
A long short while measured in tick-tocks.
How cruel, the so slow hand of the clock.
And time spent near
Is time spent dear.
To hear your laugh, a lifting litany.
To see your smile, a portrait of beauty.
To feel your touch, a searing delicacy.
What more could want and not be gotten?
Just a few moments more of precious heaven.
Sweet dreams, my darling,
Until tomorrow’s dawning.
Bright new hours of torturous fire
To ponder away upon thoughts of desire.
rising as the somke
off my cigarette
comming up from the depths
of the coldest heart
lost in the wind that sweeps us away
my soul vanishes
into thin air
love gone
life belittled
gone forever never
form you again
to the end i’m gone
forever never again
I used to be okay,
I used to be strong.
But the walls around me crumbled,
And my life became wrong.
The lies crept in on silent feet.
Poisoning my neurotic mind,
Slowly wrapping me in defeat.
I lied when I said I didn’t love you.
I lied when I said I could move on.
I lied when I said you didn’t matter,
And I lied when I said it didn’t hurt.
You were the catalyst,
Detroying everything in sight.
You broke me down,
And I was too weak to fight.
Now you are gone,
Yet your corrosive effect remains.
I await within my insanity to see you again,
For my blood to race and my heart stop.
I’m just dying for you to get on top.
Own me, control me, violate me.
End the aching and just…
Take me for all I can be.
I surrender myself completely;
Mind, body, and soul.
But you had your chance,
And my weakened morals were worth nothing.
It was simply a meaningless, tormenting dance.
What you still want, I shall never know.
But I would wait for you till the end of eternity,
If only you would tell me so.
In a moment of weakness
I turned to you
In a moment of weakness
You let me through
You held me close with broken wings
I can hear your laughter as the devil sings
In a moment of weakness,
you healed my soul
yet tore me apart
In a moment of weakness
you made me whole
but broke my heart
In a moment of weakness
I let you go
From my moment of weakness
I’m all alone…
“A kiss upon the hand of someone you truly love is more beautiful, and more valuable than any diamond or gem could ever be.”
“I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you”
I’m lonely
But then
Aren’t you lonely too?
Come then
Walk along with me
And though we but travel
A short while together
We become more alive in each other
Changing what might have been
Into something
That lends a deep meaning
To life itself
And though we but travel
A short while together
I think perhaps
You are with me forever.
To love one that is lost.
To love one that is taken.
Ever since that day,
My life has been shaken.
My feelings are so strong,
but not much to you.
Although I’m still glad,
you’re here to help me through.
We’ve been through the good.
We’ve been through the bad.
It’s hard to believe,
that I am so sad.
I still love you true,
although it’ll never be.
There’s something in him
that you don’t see in me.
But I guess that’s ok,
because I’ll still be here.
And even if that’s so,
I still have fear.
What will happen to me,
I still don’t know.
But if the pain is too great,
I won’t let it show.
Because you mean so much,
our friendship I will treasure.
And I’ll be content,
as long as you have pleasure.
I know that you’ll forget me,
but that’s alright.
Because I’ll always love you,
with all of my might.
Sitting, alone, darkness consumes.
No one can see the girl.
With bright eyes.
And one curl.
She’s almost saddened by this.
Her most extrordinary show.
It will go unnoticed.
No one will know.
Till they find her limp body.
Alone in her bed.
The lost memories.
Of the life she’d led.
She wanted to see the pain.
The blood drip from her wrist.
Because she had aimed for her goals.
She aimed, and she missed.
She wants to swallow the peace.
Feel the freedom spread through her veins.
Find an everlasting love.
Take away her pains.
She wants to die alone.
The same way she was always found.
Alone with herself.
No other soul around.
And as she got ready.
She turned out the lights.
To die in the darkness.
To escape all life’s frights.
But when the lights went out.
Some magic occured.
The room lit up.
And a memory was stirred.
She recalled a day.
She’d been talking with a friend.
Talking about life.
How much she wanted it to end.
But her friend said no.
She said I love you.
And you know it.
The stars join us two.
No matter where you are.
When you can see the sky.
Glance at the stars.
And reconcider why.
Why do you want to die?
Where has your meaning gone?
Will it be refound?
Will it rise with suns dawn?
If you have any question.
If you know it could.
Then please hold on.
You know that you should.
Because I love you.
My love is in the star.
It is always in my heart.
Whether near or far.
So when the lights went out.
And you saw the glow.
You knew that those lit up stars.
Were your reason not to go.
So you sat back in bed.
Put the knife aside.
Recapped the pills.
And thought how you almost died.
How you almost gave up.
How you based your life on your past.
Knowing full well.
That the past will never last.
So as you lay there that night.
With a refound hope in your heart.
You knew you could find.
A way to restart.
Your life will start now.
It will be based on stars.
Your past will not matter.
Nor will engraved scars.
Because you love’s in the stars.
And stars never die.
So if you ever question.
That’s your reason why.
Everytime I try to tell you I love you,
Words don’t seem quit strong enough,
And everytime I hug you
It doesn’t even compare to my love..
I tried to write you a love letter,
But everytime I fail..
My feelings for you are more beautiful,
It’s even better than a true fairytale.
I never could have hoped,
I found someone like you..
And from the day I met you,
I never wished for anyone new.
I guess there are just a few words,
That try to make you understand,
I feel save and loved,
Even knowing my heart lies in your hand
I love you so much.. forever!
I hear a breath from a distance
Not knowing who it’s from
I stay still and do not look back
Who is it from – I ponder the thought
I wait and wait – wondering
Sometimes, just sometimes it’s the answer we seek
that we don’t really want to know
