Sixteen

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

The song ‘Sixteen’ by Natania featuring Mickey McCleary and Medha Sahi inspired me to write this poem. It’s from this awesome series called ‘Four More Shots’ which is a desi version of Sex and the City. Maria and I like to binge-watch an entire season when we catch up. It’s ‘our’ thing. Babe, I’ve got to stop obsessing over you. Too many songs dedicated to you. LOL, @Maria;)

Anyway, like all my music-inspired poems, I suggest playing the song{which I have embedded below for your convenience} as you read; it truly elevates the experience!

Sixteen – poem by Ruelha

You make me feel like everyday's my birthday When I'm with you, I feel special in every way The way you play with my hand, I feel butterflies I like the way you gaze endlessly into my eyes You take me back to when I was sixteen You make me feel…

Über Freundschaft

“ … “

“Dein Freund ist die Antwort auf deine Bedürfnisse.
Er ist dein Feld, wo du mit Liebe säest und mit Danksagung erntest.
Und er ist deine Nahrung und dein Zuhause.
Denn du kommst mit deinem Hunger zu ihm und suchst Frieden bei ihm.
Wenn dein Freund seine Meinung sagt, fürchtest du das „Nein“ in deinem eigenen Kopf nicht, noch hältst du das „Ja“ zurück.

Und wenn er schweigt, hört dein Herz nicht auf, seinem Herzen zuzuhören;
denn ohne Worte, werden in einer Freundschaft alle Gedanken, alle Wünsche, alle Erwartungen…

REFLECTIONS OF CHRISTMAS PAST, AND PRESENT.

Kone, Krusos, Kronos

Christmas Spirit

Like snowflakes,

My Christmas memories

Gather and dance—

Each beautiful, unique,

And gone too soon.

Deborah Whipp

With time we grow , and look with different eyes what most people see as Sacred.

But a little of more time, we turn mellow, and tolerant, give a few more years, and we turn even softer, sentimental will be the proper word, we may even cry a tear, or two, when remembering things now afar on time, like our childhood, our parents, and older relatives, now gone for quite some years, you better have created a family of your own, otherwise you will be alone, and with nothing but your memories as a better time, of a paradise lost…
