A FLOWER

She cried, when she smelt the rose
"Oh ....what a pity, I have only one nose"

I wished ..... I were a beautiful flower
so that you would look at me
so that you would plick me
so that you would touch me
so that you would smell me
I just wished
I just wished
but now
I am thinking,
what if you would throw me
After looking at me
After plicking me
After touching me
After smelling me

I wished, I were a lovely flower
So that you would see me
So that you would like me
So that you would choose me
So that you would get me
I just wished
I just wished
But now
I am thinking,
What if you would discard me
After seeing me
After liking me
After choosing me
After getting me

I wished, I were a pretty flower
So that you would want me
So that you'd possess me
So that you would take me
So that you would bring me
I just wished
I just wished
But now
I am thinking,

What if you would replace me,
With some other flower ????

An Ear Ring

Not a gorgeous hero, not a great king
I just wish, I could be your ear ring

So that I could feel your closeness
And could perceive your gentleness

If you'll ever forget me somewhere
You'll look for me here and there

Searching for me with frustration
I'd feel your sweet desperation

Smiling, laughing, dancing in your ears
There, I could spend all of my years

I'd always be ' in-touch ' with you
That's how my dreams will come true

Refreshing you, like a season of spring
I just wish, I could be your ear ring

If I Could Make the Perfect Man...

If I could make the perfect man...
I would take the stars and place them in his eyes,
So that they would sparkle when he looked at me...

I would take the moon for his smile...
And it would be so contagious,
That you couldn't help but to smile back at him...

I would take the wind and give him its freedom and spirit...
Because you can never capture the wind, just follow in its flow...

I would take the sun and put in his face...
Because he would glow with such beauty,
Even if HE only thought it was within my own eyes...

I would take the mighty oak tree for his body...
Tall and strong, with firm roots and a good solid stock
that could with stand any storm that may come...

I would take the wildflowers from the mountainside
and sprinkle their petals on him...
For his sensitivity... because he would be caring and compassionate...

I would take the water for his personality...
Calm, clear... sometimes wild and raging...
Like a river flowing to meet the sea...

If I could make the perfect man...

He would be a mixture of heaven and earth...
Because being in his arms would feel like heaven,
And it would be the only place on earth I'd like to be...

If I could make the perfect man... I couldn't...

Because he already exists... in YOU!

On Our Wedding Day...

Dear Mom and Dad,
On our wedding day we may be
too caught up in the moment to thank you for
supporting us and guiding us on our way.
With every little smile or nervous moment
or when we get the chance to glance your way,
please know that we are loving you and
thanking you for being with us on our special day.
It's a comfort to know that you'll be by our sides when
we take that big step; the step into the rest of our lives.
Thank you for being such great friends as well as parents to us.
We will try to model your lessons of love,
friendship, dedication, and trust.
We are forever thankful to you for
supporting us today, for accepting and
loving us both along the way.

I WANT YOU

When the night becomes dawn
In the early youth of morning
In the recess of evening
In the strong storm in endless ocean
In the dark cloud of a rainy season
In the rain after the rain
In a sudden inspiration
I Want You

New and old faces on the street of old karachi
In the houses and buildings, in the procession of uncountable people
You brought the touch of unknown pleasure of rest
In the urban tiredness
In a drop of pleasure
After walking a long distance
Loving this life
I want you

At the crossing of four roads, in the shop
In the park, in the village, under the green tree, here and there
Station, terminal, market, harbor
Unknown drawing room, known interior
Pillow, mattress and bedsheet
In the caress of a blanket of cold winter night
In a cup of tea
Laughter, sensitiveness, egotism
At my left and right
I want you

In vision and imagination
In tacit words
In a new tragic novel on my study table
In a newly written poem
In the scream of all the old and new songs
In the melodius tune from the flute of a cowboy
In the request and submission
In pain, cry and tears
In rights, claims and demands
I want you

In the sleepless night, fighting with myself
In the hope of a classless society
In the dream of an end of these confusing days
In struggle and revolution
In most impossible situations
I want you

In peace and anxiety
In all these illusions
In my faith, in my love and in my arms
In my journey towards the eternity
I want you
I want you to be always with me

( A Poem by Asif Iqbal )

It Hurts To Love Someone

It hurts to love someone
and not be loved in return,
but what is most painful is to love someone
and never finding the courage,
to let the person know how you feel.

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 should know how to be grateful for that gift.

Love is when you take away the feeling,
the passion, the romance
and you find out you still care for that person.

A sad thing about life is ...
when you meet someone
that means a lot to you,
only to find out in the end,
that it was never bound to be ....
and you just have to let go.

When one door of happiness closes,
another opens but often 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 one you could sit on a porch,
and swing with, never say a word,
and then walk away
feeling like that was the best ....
conversation you've 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
hearts but if it doesn't,
be content it grew in yours.

There are things you love to hear
but you would never hear
it from the person from whom
you would like to hear it,
but don't be deaf to hear it from the person
who says it with his heart.

Never say goodbye
when you still want to try ,
never give up when
you still feel you can take it,
never say you don't love that person
anymore when you can't let go.

Love comes to those who still hope,
even though they've been disappointed,
to those who still believe ,
even though they've been betrayed,
need to love those who still love
even though they've been hurt before.

It takes a minute,
to have 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,
it can deceive,
don't go for wealth,
even that fades away.
Go for someone
who makes you smile
because only a smile
makes a dark day seem bright.
Hope you find that person

There are moments in life
when you really miss someone
that you want to pick them
from your dreams
and hug them for real.
Hope you dream of that someone.

Dream what you want to dream,
go where you want to go,
be what you want to be,
cause here, you have only one life
and one chance to do all the
things you want in life.

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
and enough money to buy me gifts
Always put yourself in other's shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the person, too.

A careless word may kindle strife,
a cruel word may wreck a life,
a timely word may level stress,
a loving word may heal and bless.

The beginning of love
is to let those we love.....
be perfectly themselves,
and not to twist them with our own image,
otherwise, we love only
the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

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 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.

Love starts with a smile,
..............and ends with a tear

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 smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

COMPROMISE

I worshipped you

I Thought you

I Loved You.....

secretly in my heart !

BUT.....they didn't give me freedom to express my love

Because....

Only "Men" have this right.....

Right for "Love Expression"

and then.....

I was forced to go with a stranger

And, I did the same thing.....

Thing, which every girl does

Just "Compromise"

Easing The Pain
by Francine Roche

There's a little voice inside of me,
That whispers every now and then,
"It will get easier to forget him,
I just can't tell you when."

The days went by so quickly,
When I had you in my life.
Everything was alive and vibrant,
I lived without a moment's strife.

There's a little voice inside of me,
That tells me to be strong,
"Letting go was valiant,
Staying would've been wrong."

Time goes by so slowly,
Now that I'm all alone.
It's a struggle going through life,
I feel the conflict to the bone.

There's a little voice inside of me,
That comforts me through the night,
"The pain will fade and life goes on,
just try with all your might."

The emptiness I feel inside of me,
Loses its potency everyday.
As other people come and go,
Your memory is here to stay.

There's a little voice inside of me,
That murmurs to my heart,
"To have loved him was a gift,
treasure it with all your heart."

For You My Love*

If I came to your doorstep
would you welcome me in ?

or would you turn me away in shame?
Would you take me to your family in pride of knowing me?
Or say you have never heard my name?

Would you caress me when we met with open arms
or would you hide me away in fear of unknown harms?

If I beckoned for your love, would you open your heart?
 

If I asked for your tenderness would you kiss my tears away?
If I came to you willingly would you give me your love?
 

If I whispered I love you, what would you say?

I give my love freely, for it is mine to give.
My love has no possessor. My life is mine to live.

Sonji Rush

Love Me As If I Were Dying
by Shanyn French

Love me as if I were dying.
Tell me those things,
That you will wish you had said.
Love me as if I were dying.

Take me places,
Do things with me.
Whisper, laugh
Giggle and snort.

What would you say to me,
If you knew I was dying?
Tell me now! Don't delay.
Hold me close, now closer.

Share with me as if I were dying.
Show me those things,
That you will wish you had shown.
Share with me as if I were dying.

Let's not think of why we can't!
Let's find ways for us to do!
Build memories today,
For we may not have another.

Love me as if I were dying.
Hold me as if I were dying.
Talk to me as if I were dying.
Laugh with me...
Laugh like we'll live for ever!

Little Things
=========

Too often we don't realize
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got
And be thankful for the
Little things in life
that mean a lot.
