A simple, elegant moment.
A memory etched in time.
A smile so gentle on a beautiful face.
A goddess from heaven.
Every detail stands out
like a diamond in the rock;
She sure is the epitome
of all that is strength and beauty.
Framed at the perfect moment,
captured at the right second,
she turns any frown,
yes, upside down.
Like flashbacks in dreams
she's here every night.
In the depths of my heart,
the center of my mind.
Drifting off to sleep,
I hold you close,
next to my soul,
I still can't believe, you make me whole.
Tonight, as the night gives way
to another dawn, a gorgeous day,
I'd just take this time to say
I love you, every single day.
Though time may blur it,
and the colors get faded,
I'll forever keep;
This perfect photograph.

Peace with the past
In battles with our day to day monsters, sometimes we wish we had back up. Something that gives us a little advantage, that winning edge.
What if I said you do? What if I say, your past is the key to unlocking your future?
Some of you would agree, others, not much so. Here's what I mean.
Forgetting the past is just another form of denial. While it is a way of relief from the ever-haunting nightmares, this relief is only temporary. They tend to affect you, negatively, every time they come back. We go through what we do for a reason.
The demons of your past are the monsters that can out-roar any beast your future unleashes. But to tame these wild beasts, we must first make peace with them. An understanding of the reason and events that led to the demons being released in the past is critical. Once this has been accomplished, the demons will no longer haunt you. Instead, they become your personal attack dogs, giving you the strength and power to defeat anything that comes your way, effortlessly. Though taming them is no easy task, trust me, it will be worth it.
It's Valentines eve and here I am, in front of my computer, reminiscing the past. And I think it is safe to say, I'm getting there. I'm in the process of making peace with the demons of my past, and it is happening. Slow, yes, but progress nevertheless. I am beginning to feel proud of myself, of the man I'm growing into. And I am prepared to face what the future holds in store for me. For that, I thank my past.

Dreams
If dreams were memories,
I am lost in an eternal fantasy
Of a hidden, unspoken treasure;
Limitless, endless love.
I dream of your eyes,
Ever so sparkling,
A way to see your heart,
Caring, passionate and strong.
I dream of your face,
Radiant as ever,
With hair that falls across,
Making perfection all the more perfect.
I see your soul,
Ever so peaceful, silent
It's true, as they say,
Still waters run deep.

ME before WE
'The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation."
-Saint Augustine
People lean onto others for support. But when this 'leaning' turns into a parasitic dependence, that's when it becomes mutually unhealthy. It drains the lifeblood out of both individuals, leading to a not so happy ending. This usually happens when people look to others for support. Entirely. First it's only support and strength and then it turns out that how you feel depends completely on how the other person feels. Angry, frustrated, happy or upset. Pretty soon it ends with blaming the other for being down. Things then go pretty awry in the blink of an eye.
Don't fret, all hope isn't lost. Instead of turning to the other person for everything, take the time to build yourself. Map out your goals and targets. Plan out the action to get to where you want to be. Commit 100% to your career, goals, on being a better individual. Do the Me before the WE. You gotta learn to be strong. Get the foundation to run deep and strong and you'll build yourself a tower that's got no limits.
It's the journey to the destination that makes you strong, not the destination itself. Along the way, you'll meet a person who's just as hungry for their goals as you are. Instead of looking for the perfect partner, make yourself into what you want your other half to be. Then your relationship will thrive, and both of you will be able to maintain a healthy relationship with mutual support, trust, respect and love. Two identical halves make a perfect whole.
P.S : I don't mean to be negative in any way. I was surfing the web (as always) and happened to come across a related post. I'm only just expressing my opinion here. These things you see, are better expressed to an anonymous audience than to a familiar crowd. Also, sometimes, I don't even know the point of writing all these stuff anyway. (Haha)

Reflection on Life #1
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it...nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward...”
-Rocky Balboa
Yes, I've come to quoting movie lines now. But few among us are strangers to the fact that the world is cold, cruel. It takes all of one's will and determination to constantly get back up when life puts us down. Very often we look back at life and all we see are mistakes, faults, things we could have done better, people we could have treated better. But the past is not the place to live. The Now is where we must be. Tomorrow is what we must live for.
The strength to face each day comes from within. Not from telling people how we feel, because, let's face it, we all know how that ends. Instead, it comes from acceptance. Accept the fact that what has happened, has happened. There's no changing it, no going back. We must accept our past as it is, squeeze the life out of it. Keep your innermost feelings and thoughts to yourself, and believe me, you'll be much better off.
Some people confuse this with withdrawal, hiding from the world. When, in reality, we are using this time, to lay the foundation for things to come. It is on this foundation of past mistakes and errors that we build the tower of our future. Lay your foundation well, and you ca be assured that your future will be what you make of it, what you want it to be.

Beautiful Nightmare
It was a chilly winter's day, just minutes before dawn. The gauge on the dashboard showed that the temperature was in the low two-digits. Outside, the cold, barren desert stretched out to every visible horizon and a thick fog rolled in from one side. As he glanced into the side mirror to check for traffic, something in the passenger seat caught his attention. It was her, and it never ceased to amaze him how, every time, something new about her came to his attention. Even after several years together, she was still a mystery to him. One that unfolded itself in the smallest and most seemingly unnoticeable ways.
This time, it wasn't one particular thing about her; it was the whole of her. Even though it was chilly outside, the air conditioning was on, because she liked it that way. Be it sunshine or rain, she loved feeling the cold air on her face. Although his eyes were on the road ahead she was in his sight.He watched the way the air played with her hair, swinging it from side to side across her face,the way her face seemed so radiant, accentuated by the innumerable streetlights that lit their way. That gentle, calm smile, one that comes from the trust and assurance that he would let no harm come her way. She knew her past troubles were behind her, that she was no longer alone, that they would face everything together.
His eyes shot open, and he looked around. She had disappeared. He realized he had been dreaming, that he was seeing things as he hoped they would be. Every night he dreamt of her, of them. And this he knew, was just one of many. Another beautiful nightmare.
