Life is a Journey

Life is a journey, not a destination
We all seek for an explanation
Situations come and they go
What's the outcome we never know
Giving up is not an option but a sign of weak
Just take the positive and let the negative leak
Optimistic and spontaneous with a focus to achieve
The man of my dreams with who I shall dance
If only he could find me here by chance
Miracles do happen and people unite
Until then I'll wait for Mr. Right 

My Summer Wine… by Meena Mustafa

Press the grapes and let it pour

Let my wild imagination explore

The rosy flush, beneath the tree

As I sip in harmony.

Slender neck all green and gold

I lift the glass and see it pour

Name it 'Sherry' or call it 'Port'

The feeling so great as it runs down your throat.

Inhibitions lost, thoughts surrender

Makes me intoxicated and I just wander

Joy of a baby

Baby girls and baby boys
All they do is make a noise
Waking mothers up at night
Father wakes up in a fright
Then they see the baby cry
Both the parents heave a sigh
They give the baby milk to drink
And down with it they come to think
If only babies could sleep alright
And not wake up in the mid of the night
Daddy would then bring some day
Sweets for baby when at play
Mummy would then sing a song
For the joy of a baby how she longed.

Virginia is for Lovers :)

A lovers paradise and everyone's dream
Virgina is the land of melodic theme
Where lovers unite and passion grows
Where cardinals sings..and the river flows
The green and gold that stretches high
The sun that sets and birds that fly
Where Harley's on the mountains ride
And deers are spotted along the side
Where landscape stretches miles away
And farmers work all night and day
Where flowers bloom, sing and dance
Virginia is a place for Romance

A Garbage Can

Life is sometimes not as planned
What could be worse than a garbage can
For you are tossed and thrown away
just like the garbage to rot each day
Taken for granted by a ladies man
A woman is mistreated as much as she can
Love forsaken and lust Oozes out...
To put away his filth without any doubt
In the name of love this game is played
And it is defined as masquerade
The clock turns 8 and it's time to leave
The garbage is out and the man at ease

Promises and Dreams

This is a world full of promises and dreams
But promises don't remain as they do seem
Dreams do often take us away
From this world where we live today
I too have travelled a mile far away
Not knowing the way back I should say
But then it was only a dream I had seen
Not facing reality that it had been
I too was promised in the promise land
That I shall one day hold his hand
The days are passing quick I must say
I wonder what's coming up my way...

Silence

Silence breaks through the night
When the world is half asleep
My memories shut me in so tight
Fighting the pain of the night
I sit here lonely on my bed
Running reasons through my head
My heart sinks and passion dies
When I recall the events to rise
I dream of a rainbow every night
Hoping to have a future bright
But then again, it's only a dream
In the world of fantasy, I've been
Nothing remains when the night is out
Everything remains in a doubt.

Frustration

Frustration kills me deep within
so I mutter I murmur I question I reason
A thousand words come to my mind
I give I care I need if I dare
Why cant I have things my way
I pray I weep and still try to keep
If only must I be satisfied
I shout and scream from this spot where I still stand alone
I question my self a thousand times
What do you really want?
I have a want... now I want the have...
The touch the hand the real the feel
If I can only have you

If Matches Are Made In Heaven

If matches are made in heaven
Then where on earth are we?
I've spent half my life writing poetry
I don't want to cry over what I've lost or gained
And now I'm in love with you for the life that remains
I smile back to me with the thought of you….
That lingers all through the day
For I've fallen in love with you
And don't know what to say
I hope this will be the last time my pen will ever flow
Pouring out words of love….for my only one you know.

I Will Never Fall In Love Again

Life is full of pricks and pain
I don't want to be in love again
‘Cause I know my worth and where I stand
Why did I even hold your hand?
I was a fool to believe in you
But gave it a try hoping it's true
You are an illusion…my eyes deceived me
You are someone I made up…I couldn't see
And now if my heart should call out your name
Even if these arms should want you again
Even If I am all cried out and no longer in pain
I will never fall in love again….
