Perched upon a seat of high hope I measure my barren heart's scope, Bound and tied by life's twisted rope I see gloom through my telescope! Sad music plays in forlorn tunes As my castle of dreams lay strewn, Shadows sway in mournful swoons While I hide in deserted dunes! Wolves dance under a moonless sky As my spirits break down and die, Eyes stare at unlit paths and cry While my river of love runs dry! Ghosts languish in my lost lagoon As my boat drowns in black monsoon! .!. |

I don't believe your river of anything will ever truly run dry.... |

Oh and not so long ago you were very happy - I hope the rains come soon, and are filled with splinters of shimmering rainbows.... |

life's twisted rope ~ just one of many stirring phrases. You have expressed a consuming sorrow quite vividly, Sudhir, and in its poetic naming, perhaps a bit of strength to you? Many kind thoughts your way, friend. It is so good to read you again.

What wonderful images you use to portray your feelings! I felt the despair in that black monsoon, but remember monsoons are only for a season. I wish you a rapid return to that seat of high hope. To love another person is to see the face of God. |

Sudhir when you reach you darkest hour remember that just because life doesn't go exactly the way you desire or expect it to that doesn't mean that it will not ultimately go in your favor...as long as you are learning lessons and doing whats right happiness will eventually come to you...I believe this totally...James |

Nathan, Thanks for coming by... James, I would like to believe what you believe too, but my friend, the going is quite difficult to perceive the thoughts. I guess I have to force myself to hoping for the best... If I push myself hard towards it, maybe one day the sun will shine... thanks, my friend Marge, Thank you so much, my friend for your words of hope... Regards to all, Sudhir |
