Life is like a pandora box with surprises galore....and is simple due to it's sheer complexity. I dedicate this poem to the contradictions and vulnerabilities in me - that in-between synthesis- which has it's own right and it's own place in our lives

WISH

I close my eyes and make a wish,,

For a hero to come along,

And carry me across,

To my land of dreams and bliss.

'cause that's the way the story goes..

For when you are lonely,

And forget all the friendly smiles you have seen,

You yearn for someone's presence,

To ease the sense of emptiness,

But forget about the days,

When you survived alone,

All your days in the sun...

And the victories you won all alone.

And finally you understand,

That the love you are searching around,

Is deep inside your soul,

And you have to reach ,

And find it all alone.
