i dedicate this poem to the person i want to be with, the most......if not in this life, but in the next atleast......
few lines, they maybe, but its everything i feel....





.....My Next Life


If I am ever given the liberty of rebirth
I'd choose to be reborn as your tear.......

Born in your eyes
Live on your cheeks
Die in your lips

WOW, I'm not sure what to think or say about this one.
It's so bitter sweet! To be so close to some one even
if it's for just a short while.
Welcome to Passions Shilpi.

Though many come just to look at it,
A very few actually come to enjoy it.

Wow shelpi~
   What can I say?  This poem although is short it's bittersweet.  It must be nice to know who you want to be with and what complete dedication to that person as to be with them in the next life.  What a wonderful honor this must be to that person.  Welcome to Passions, I hope to see more of you!  


Sometimes the things you can't find the words for come to you in the form of a poem~just sit down and let it flow.

Life

If I am ever given the liberty of rebirth
I'd choose to be reborn as your tear.......

Born in your eyes
Live in your cheeks
Die in your lips

beautiful imagery yet emotions of sadness,
you summed up the desire for love perfectly.
Well said, great poem.

Welcome to Passions, Shilpi
What a beautiful poem. I do not feel
it needed an explanation.  Some poems
manage to need one, but this one I would
have recognized immediately of what it is.

*Sigh* at such love -

Extremely well said in so short a piece.
Welcome to Passions....wonderful place to be.

P.S....would "live ON your cheeks" be better than "IN" your cheeks??

I wanted my poem to have a tinge of sadness or should i say,a haunting melancholy, also, because all those who have truly loved, know pretty well that love is not always a bed of roses, we do have to account for some thorns too !!

Thankyou Brian !!

A terrific poem - on a lighter note, may I suggest you come back, not as a tear, but as one of those bottles of eyedrops they sell on TV with the cheesy adds about beachballs... that way you could lie around in her purse waiting for her to wake up from her semidrunken stupor with her mouth tasting like yesterday's discarded ashtray and the sweat of a strange man still reeking in the room as he slips out the door of the rundown hotel leaving her penniless and stuck with the hotel bill.  Just a suggestion... grin

Incidently - your poem was a terrific entry - welcome aboard and please treat my stuff as funloving
