Meet me under midnight skies
when the moon glows
from the soft press kiss of the bluebirds

Lethal
To be lethal with words
and make the ink bleed
your sorrows murdered
on the page

Inspired by twitter prompts
This notion of missing you
This notion of missing you
uncontrolled unplanned unexpected
a gaping hole in the heart
that gets flooded in invisible tears
as your thoughts float in the mind
This notion of missing you
Where words fall short
to describe the million emotions
that float with the million memories
This notion of missing you
all of you
invisible strings pulling on my heart
making me misty eyed in the middle of the day
and I have nothing left to say
but hear old tunes of old times
This notion of missing you

Scattered in the Wind
Beyond the clear skies
lay forgotten dreams
scattered in the wind
waiting to be remembered

Without Logic
Then the sky explodes
and your thoughts scatter on the page
cast away from your mind
without logic

First Guest Post By Johnny Ojanpera
My good friend Johnny from Johnny Ojanpera had recently invited me to do a guest post for him on his blog…Being a newbie to guest posts I had to get his advise on how it works 🙂 …I agreed to do one for him;however, being a big fan of his works myself I asked him if he was willing to do a post for my blog…and I am very happy to say that he was! If you haven’t checked out his blog already I advise you to do so now…he is an amazing writer with a true gift for words… He is also an amazing artist and the picture below is his creation on oil canvas! It was an honour and pleasure to know more about him…so without further adieu here is Johnny’s guest post!

I was invited by Neha to say a few things about myself in the form of a guest post/interview. I could never pass up an invitation like this, so here it is…
- How do you define yourself?
I define myself most by my accomplishments. I am an artist, so the things I create, whether in word, paint or song, define me better than anything else. These things are reflections of who I am, more so than by the way I dress or the music I listen to. I think that art is a great way to explore and define my identity.
- What makes you happy?
First, I have an amazing wife and four daughters. They are the roots of my happiness that radiate out into nearly everything I do. Next to my girls, my passion is writing. It’s hard to tell sometimes if it is an addiction, or a personality trait, but either way, it keeps me healthy. I try to keep the term ‘happy’ in the right context. It is an emotion, it can be fleeting and when I feel it, I like to hope that I won’t take it for granted. Life is full of many emotions.
- What inspires you?
I am most inspired by people and nature. The dynamics of relationships also inspire me. I am observant by nature, so I feel like I am always looking at things in a way that says, “What is special about that?” or “Why did that person react that way?” There are also quite a few writers I follow that I can’t help but be inspired by. The amount of talent in this ‘room’ astounds me, it keeps me going.
Thank you, Neha for sharing your readers with me.
Never Look Back
Her tears are finally drying
Leaving statues of salt behind
Monuments of her memories
Wishes the past to be blind
Hopes for rain to melt the pain
For the tears to reach the sea
The salt crumble to the earth
So her future can live free
Book of Life
Your book of life lies open
pages turn with every beat of the heart
following dreams to unknown places
tears fall in between spaces, of smiles
your book of life lies open
Strength
You came back to light
from the darkest night
with the strength of your soul
that kept you whole
even when the world shattered
in pieces

Piercing
Winds shift,
their howls,
piercing the dark silence,
scattering the stillness of the night…
to chaos.
