I do believe

I hold you close to me,
I look into your eyes,
I express my love for you,
My commitment, my devotion to you,
This day and for all days to come.

You look at me,
and ask me to always remain the same.
That I will I know for sure.

At times, I too want to feel your emotions,
towards me, towards us,
At times I too want to hear words.
Not that I doubt your feelings,
or am looking for proofs,
Just some inner feelings transformed into words.

Silence is golden always,
But words can be platinum sometimes.

Happiness

Parched earth,
Expectant eyes looking towards the sky,
A single sparrow perched on a dry twig.

Can the raindrop choose whether, when and where to fall ?
Becoming the drop from the vapour,
Getting the body from the spirit,
Moving with the ultimate goal in sight,
With full speed.
It dashes towards the ground,
And brings so much joy,
To all others and doesn’t even live to see it.

For it has another journey to make now,
Towards the sea and then back again.

Soulmates

Do soulmates really exist or is it just my wishful thinking ? Is it just my imagination which has been fed by the many romantic novels and movies which I have read and seen or is it an inner feeling ? Happy or Sad ? Content or wishing for more ?
Have I found someone and want to see my soulmate in that person or have I found my soulmate and just need a confirmation ? Well, well, well what exactly is a soulmate ?
When one conforms to someone's idea of a perfect partner or at least one who has the potential to become one, that makes him/her happy but what if the other person does not feel so ? If someone can see their soulmate in me and are happy but I am not so happy with them, then what ? Do I become a bad person if I allow this thought to come to my mind ? In love, one never demands anything but if one is not so happy because of certain issues, then what ? Its good to share one's anxieties with one's partner but what if instead of helping resolve issues it freezes things ? Damn, damn !
Its so so complicated ! human relations. Walking alone or walking together, is all but a matter of choice. Happiness resides inside, within us and no person, place or thing can give it to you or take it away from you. Wow, that was a zen moment!
