HEARTPRINTS..

Whatever our hands touch—
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.

Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
and genuine concern.

May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or, perhaps, a dear friend!

I shall go out today
To leave heartprints,
And if someone should say
“I felt your touch,”
May that one sense be…YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME.

This is to all the wonderful people
I have met!

I offer you my hand in friendship
so that when you reach out in times of need,
you can be certain that I’ll always be there.
when it returns to you,
you’ll know who’ll be your friends for life!!!

A Broken Smile Written By: Praveen

I sit here with a smile on my face, 
I smile as I breathe in deep, 
I smile as I close my eyes
and I smile all day long;

The sky is dark,
as the freezing winds
seep into my bones,
I sit here smiling silently cold and empty;

I wait here frozen in time,
with my dreams torn apart,
my heart encased in a tomb,
I smile to mask my true emotions;

Smile is all that I do day in and day out,
the mask that I wear is so perfect,
one needs to come a lot closer,
to see the tears trickling down my eyes;

The days are long,
the nights longer still.
I try to find the light,
but find comfort only in the dark;

Emotions swell inside,
walking on a broken path,
I look up for the rainbow
hoping that one day I will get off
this broken path and onto a new one;

A broken smile is a smile that is false to hide the pain inside!!!

Together....Written By: Praveen

Just you and me,
holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes,
it’s been a while,
it’s been a long time;

Lost in this madness of life,
closer but farther away,
from each other,
i don’t know what to do;

Alone and lost,
this dream is all that keeps me alive,
keeps me and you alive,
waiting for the moment it becomes a reality;

Counting the days,
to meet you on the other side,
high above the world,
over and over in my mind;

I close my eyes and i see you there,
i drift away to sleep and you are there,
waiting for me to escape reality and dive
into this dream, where you and me, together;

Together, till the shining sun,
together, till madness rises again,
together, we will make this dream come true,
together sooner!

Feeling Unwanted Written by Ashley McGrain

As I walk down the path of forgotten memories, 
I start thinking of all the lame memories you gave me. 
All the times you picked on me,
Called me names,
Made me feel miserable.
Now it’s your turn to suffer.
Wait, you can’t suffer after I committee suicide.
It’s your fault that I need to committee suicide.
It’s your fault that I think that I’m not good enough for the world.
It’s your fault that I can’t fit in.
It’s your fault that I have an eating disorder because you called me fat.
All the times that I’ve put up with you
Had just flew out the door.
The god damn memories that you god damn people gave me
Let me down.
When I grab this knife,
Cut myself
And let myself bleed to death,
If I survive,
When my parents ask why?
I tell them that you did it.
You were the would that talked shit behind my back,
And made me so fucking miserable.
It was you who really murdered me.

If dreams weren't dreams
and dreams came true
I wouldn't be here
I would be next to you
Distance is one thing that keeps us apart
But you will always remain close to my heart

You are sweet

Someone like you everyone wishes to meet
It is hard to find someone so kind
Your name will never grow old since it is
Engraved in my heart in letters of gold.
I'm just another face in the crowd
But when everyone fades away...
I'll still be here for you.

Forlorn love

Voyage to death
Nearing my breath
Yet my love’s depth
For you sails all girth.

Past, disappearing phase
Not another face in race,
Glimpse of your face
Each second I face.

The face that whispers
My heart’s daily verses,
Oh! My queen of universe,
Why you shed those curses.

My heart’s birth to words
To see your smiling world,
Raising you to dream world,
Nesting us, the two birds.

Within the love woven nest,
Feeling your breath on my chest,
I see your smile at its best,
Dreaming, a life full of zest.

A dream that went falling,
Hearing your wings fluttering,
Away and far you were flying,
Leaving a lonely soul waiting.

Waiting Endless, drowning dreams,
Landing deep, to words that stream,
Streaming words, once your cream,
The cream you treasured, now my dream

The dream of words that fly,
Above them, standing high
I carve to prove, I’m no dry,
Thus – “The catcher in the rye”.

As people held me high,
I searched for your eye,
Never seeing your sigh,
I cuddled into my rye.

With the gift you discovered
Weaving a cocoon of words
Within them I stay buried
Words- my only love world.

Cheers from the crowd,.....

Cheers from the crowd,
Never made him proud
For music in minds chord
Played tunes that drowned.

Dancing to the rhythm of claps,
Soul standing all pain slaps.
Trying to rein tears that gallop,
Waiting to shower on a safe lap.

The painted smile seemed matching,
Eclipsing his hearts aching,
While the world stood watching,
The show with joy-hatching.

Playing the joker's part,
Need of life in all heart
For a smooth ride in life’s cart
Taking turns in path with art.

The joker's we are,
In past & in future.
The smile spreading pleasure,
Around the ring to treasure.

Let the world smile,
At the joker's style,
For he knew his miles,
So far,
Never reaching those miles…
