The night I feel in love

We might disagree in so many things, but one thing we will always see eye to eye on is the fact that sometimes our day ends with something new. The night I fell in love was one that ended in such manner. As I remember the day today, I reflect on how love touched me one time and still lasts till today. I remember the emotion, the first feeling and subsequent ones. A lot have changed since then: My friends, my habits, my home even my career. One thing that has not changed over the years is the love that touched me that very night…………………

I could write 500 words and still would not express the journey of my love as well as beautifully crafted words would. So sit down and absorb the sentences one at a time in the poem I titled “The night I fell in love”

I saw her before she saw me
the night I fell in love
" angels dwell on earth "
words of my mother
I never believed it
the night I saw you
I did

One thing I remember :
dropped was my jaw
that's when you saw me
the moment I fell in love

you smiled at me
reflection of moon on your teeth
like butterfly on petals
The earth stood still.
Why you smiled
I couldn't tell
maybe that's what angels do
whatever it was,
was the code that unlocked my heart
I'll make you an idol
Idol in my household
why not?
The night I fell in love......

Today I look at you
still the angel I met
we have rode on the wings of time together
oceans we have crossed
we have fought
we have quarreled
my "laughs", my "crys"
you have shared with me

Tonight
I'll take my son
we'll trace the path
the path that led me to you
who knows!
I might find an angel waiting for him
I'll make it tonight
to mark the night I fell in love

Double Identity

By
I once knew of a little girl with such big dreams and wide imagination, Everything she read she willed to being the first time she left the little town of her birth She traveled to a land far away from the troubles that ailed her family from the troubles that ailed her she walked on streets made of gold She traveled to countries that made her heart dance and although she’d never seen them before, in her mind they were familiar no people or race was alien to her but one day she was forced to see she was different she was forced to see her dark skin and hear her heavy accent she was forced to see her afro hair and her religion she was forced to see the shameful past that surrounded her people And although they tried to bury her in shame She destroyed their expectations and blazed a new path for herself.

Forever Love

By
Its almost unimaginable that a person can love you forever and ever, flaws and all. I guess I'm just not that much of an idealist. Its one of those things that sounds almost too good to be true. The love that can never be broken. The devotion that no power, no circumstance can pull apart. The world is full of divorcing couples who vowed "for better or worse" and now, cannot stand the sight of each other. The world is full of mothers who ditch their kids and run, who sexually abuse, prostitute and even murder their children. That was the real world. The world i live in. A life full of hurt, pain, disappointment, uncertainty, hatred and angst. Isn't forever love the kind of love that exists between pets and its owners, children and their parents? Its a much more simple...almost desperate kind of love. It doesn't care so much about what i look like, what my voice sounds like, it doesn't care whether i like toasted sandwich for dinner and KFC chicken for breakfast...

The lady at the counter

I am fuming with rage, anger, resentment, malice...(is there any other word to describe the fire that is threatening to erupt my very being?) I had a pretty rough day today, although this is not the reason i am this provoked. Well why should i? Why would anyone be angry if their youngest brother spends $100 from their credit card despite giving them the permission to spend $23! This matter was solved of course, however, this current state of mind is directed at Australia's retail giant Big W. Technological advancement is at its peak as we all know. In fact, it has gotten so good that I'm toying with the idea of buying me a sexy robot man if ever i become available :). Since Technology has become this unstoppable force, why is it that each time you leave a store, they ask to search your bag. This is the most humiliating aspect of shopping i must confess. I have the most horrible hand bag to look in you see, however, i just love the feeling of walking straight up to security and ...
