Slept hearing the sounds of her own sobs and weep
On a damp pillow , swollen eyes and heart with cuts deep
Wakes up gliding in a sea of her own tears
With nobody around , Loneliness and no fears
She lie there with arms bent around her knees
Staring at the pervasive vastness of limitless seas
People who modified her life were not around
Busy in their own lives they made her astound
Alone she stand to face her life planned by them
To reveal and to hunt, whether to find sand or a gem
She thought she had cried over her loss for long
Now she had to take a step forward and be strong
Life has to pass, through laughs or through cries
Choosing the easy way is clever, higher she flies
Leaving behind everyone she loved before
Preparing herself to love one’s she never adore
Looking at the reflection of her face in pool of her own tears
She threw into it, her love her dreams, wishes and her fears
Shivering inside, feeling helpless, lonely but calm and quiet
She bestowed herself to Him, He is the one who is just right
Preparing to fly high, she looks at the clear blue sky
Shoulders without burden , she took a warm sigh
Wishing to feel all her life , the same optimism’s gleam
But sad she was , because this was only a dream…..!

/ September 30, 2013I guess one good thing about others planning your life is that instead of things never going according to your plans they’ll be not going according to someone else’s plans instead. Also it gives you more time to cry over plans that failed today instead of always trying to think up new plans that will fail tomorrow.
Not sure if you got my recent emails.

/ October 2, 2013I agree Cabrogal ! No one of my friends got engaged so early…. Its been one and a half year since I am….I guess I was given enough time to cry over and take a new start ! I am still in the cycle of crying over….

Thank you so much … You have always been a wonderful friend ๐ Love you ! xx

/ September 30, 2013๐ Dream on girl… It is the fuel of life… The spark of creativity… ๐
Dream on to appreciate the beauty and NOT to fulfill the dream…
Why?
Because one of my friends once said; we get the things we never aspire for ๐
Good poem ๐
White Pearl
/ October 2, 2013I will….I can change the ‘human’ nature of me ! ๐
Oh yes I have always experienced it….Jitna me kisi dream k peechay bhaagti hun , wo utna e thakaati hai aur pher b it never come true !
That is why I was saying to someone else here in the comments too…K I don’t know why people never get what they wish for…As far as I have seen….
To every person , other person’s life seems perfect .
You know out of my four friends , each one got what the other one wished for…..!! I don’t know why this happens….
Thank you so much, My teacher ! You have taught me this !

/ October 2, 2013Haan haan main teri hi baat kar raha tha… tune hi mujhse pehle bhi bola tha ki jo hum chaahte hain wo humein nahin milta…
Wish is a mirage sister! Jo cheez apne paas nahin hoti woh hamesha bahut achchhi lagti hai… shayad isiliye ichchha poori nahin hoti in general. Natural hai… ๐
Bahut saari philosophy dimaag mein aa rahi hai… ๐ But the point is you can only work for your betterment. Tujhe success mile ya na mile ye doosri baat hai. Yeh tere haath mein nahin hai. So don’t aspire for success. It will come if and when it has to. Bus aane waale kal ko achchha banaane ki ummeed se beete hue kal se seekhkar aaj mein jiyo.
White Pearl
/ October 2, 2013Haaan such ๐ I thought kisi aur se kaha tha ๐ Sorry ! You know bongi hun ๐
Yeah I know natural hai…we have a misal in urdu about it… ‘Dour k dhool suhanay’… I guess you may have heard about it !
Chal share ker de philosophy … Apne blog per e ker de !
Yes you are absolutely right…. And I am trying ! ๐
Arindam Saha
/ October 2, 2013Good Girl! ๐ Keep trying…
Yaar yeh hindi aur urdu kuch jyada hi similar hain… ๐ Same sentence… bus hum misal ko muhawara kehte hain…
White Pearl
/ October 11, 2013Lol hum b misal ko mahawra keh letay hain ๐
Arindam Saha
/ October 2, 2013Philosophy? Baad mein share karta hoon… Abhi padhna hai… ๐
Oye! Apne blog se yaad aaya… Bengalis ka sabse bara festival aa raha hai… Durga Puja… Aajaa saath mein manaate hain… Padh liyo… Yeh waala special hai ๐
White Pearl

/ September 30, 2013Hello,
Your poetry is moving.
I want to say thanks for following me at http://www.oldspouse.wordpress.com.
Iโd like to add that if you enjoy my “This Old Spouse” column, I think youโll love this:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Oklo-Device-ebook/dp/B00F9IPO04/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1379510327&sr=1-1
Or you can go here:
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/354657
It’s a terrifying story called The Oklo Device.
Take a look at the story; see if you get hooked on it, e-mail me at roger.white@tasb.org, and Iโll send you the rest. If you like the story, please share with others. This is the only way good things happen today–agents and publishers are of the dinosaur era. They’re slow; they’re frightened; and they’ll eat you if you’re not careful. We’re on our own. I truly believe in this book. If you do, too, share it with someone. Thank you!
And thank you so much, again, for being one of the faithful.
Best regards,
Roger White
“This Old Spouse”

Moniba
/ October 2, 2013I’m in love with this stanza, Lala… :’) Your words are powerful.
“Looking at the reflection of her face in pool of her own tears
She threw into it, her love her dreams, wishes and her fears
Shivering inside, feeling helpless, lonely but calm and quiet
She bestowed herself to Him, He is the one who is just right”
I like how most of your poetry connects life to Allah. I’s just as it should be. Beautiful.
White Pearl
/ October 2, 2013Thank you so very much Moniba…. I am so glad you liked the poem, specially this stanza. Yes about whatever I ma be thinking about, It always connects to Allah so may be that’s why He has that strong impact on my poetry too ๐ Love to see you again . Ab ghaeb mat ho jana pher se ๐ Love you !
Moniba
/ October 2, 2013That’s good.
Hahah… I had a busy busy month combined with lots of inspiration but no time nor energy to sit and write. So yeah… My online life in September was dull. Let’s hope dobara aesa na ho:)

You dream it. You Dare it. You make it!
wrote something similar to this in my blog http://resonner.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/one-of-those-nights/
loving the picture and the concept “Wakes up gliding in a sea of her own tears”
Touched!
White Pearl

White Pearl
/ October 17, 2013Thank you ! Yes it was painful…Dreams are mean to be painful if not fulfilled ๐ Thanks for the comment ! xx
rjl2727
/ October 17, 2013yes, and what is strange is that it never seems to keep us from dreaming dreams we know will likely not be fulfilled. here is wishing that your best dreams are realized; if not in this world and life, well, then. . . i guess there is reason to hope for the next.
White Pearl
/ October 18, 2013You are right…. ๐
