Don't quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will; When the road you're trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low, and the debts are high And you want to smile, but have to sigh; When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but do not quit. Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint of the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my…

It is the hour when from the boughs The nightingale's high note is heard; It is the hour -- when lover's vows Seem sweet in every whisper'd word; And gentle winds and waters near, Make music to the lonely ear. Each flower the dews have lightly wet, And in the sky the stars are met, And on the wave is deeper blue, And on the leaf a browner hue, And in the Heaven that clear obscure So softly dark, and darkly pure, That follows the decline of day As twilight melts beneath the moon away. ----- It Is the Hour- Lord Byron

The time has come to say goodbye just let this go be done with us We can't make this go We can't make this right This rift between us Is just too wide We cannot cross This great divide I'm saying goodbye I'm letting go ~Jill Riley

We are coloured people Coloured in our thoughts That are full of diplomacy Coloured in our behavior That is full of sugar coated lies Coloured in our nature That is full of fakeness Coloured in our traditions That contain unnecessary Demands of being superior Coloured in happinesses That shows only outer happiness Full of fake smiles which doesn't Reflect by our eyes Coloured in noticing only Pointless point of our love ones Which drag us away from them In Reality we lose all our bright Soft colours that touches our Soul's The colours which connect us In bound that provide us Full satisfaction Th…

A DAY LIKE TODAY "Sim?" "Hmm.." "I'm not a good person like you say , I have dated women before you and now also I'm leaving you to marry another woman . But how do you never feel bad about it ?Why do you never hate me? Never ask why I still run to you whenever I need ?" "You know what ?" "What ?" "I was searching for a drop of water when I met you ,the whole damn ocean was in front of me. Since then, I have never been thirsty. I just needed a ray of hope and you came as the sunshine , replacing the darkness of my life. I was in need of a shelter to seek in, and I found my home in you . I was a little lost ,found my lost pieces i…

You loved her; You still do. You let her down and yet here you are; wanting her by your side every time you drown. You turned her cold and yet here you are; wanting her to warm up your soul. You scarred her physically and yet here you are; wanting her to stitch you emotionally. You made her cry and yet here you are; wanting her to be the reason you try. You called her shallow and yet here you are; wanting her to be your fellow. •You made her incomplete and yet here you are; wanting her to be your heartbeat. You broke her heart and yet here you are; wanting to be there when she falls apart. You destroyed her and yet here you …

Who will? When the another night falls In past I was afraid of darkness Today, the new sun frightens me The new day brings agony with itself New fight, new empathy, new dreaded soul Every new born child adds to new fear What should I do? How should I fight back the demon? The demon of apathy and ignorance Who among you techs are going to heal me? Behold me torn in pieces Day by day, I am losing my essence The demon of selfishness is laughing at me Save me, heal me, I am your India I am part of your world! I am part of your earth! Losing itself, I want to live, stand with me Seems like I am shouting at silence! Because th…

*Dear Lost Boy, I have butterfly wings under my skin...... And a blood red, origami heart........ My heartbeats are paper planes, soaring, dipping, paper planes....... Beating as my bones breathe with life....... My skin flutters at the very knowledge of you....... The way you created my very heart within your trembling hands........ Every fold, an act of love....... Every crease, a kiss of devotion....... Inhaled starlight inside my lungs....... Rattling like caged bottle tops........ The sound of fractured sighs await....... Only for you, My Night Sky....... Only. For. You.......

It is not what I see, that deceives me, but what I feel. It is not what I feel, that tears me apart, but what I know that does not exist. We live within parallel universes, being apart with thousands of realms in between us. Each life has something to offer, but we shall keep our eyes open for the lessons which must be taught and through eternity shall we strive to not destroy our souls. I have seen you and I have touched you, but your heart does not beat for me anymore, for you do not see with the power of our bond, but via the deception of what the eyes crave the most... ~ Aphrodite

That moment, when a comet will cross the night sky and our souls will meet one an other, a light will shine within the dark sky, turning the night into a day. That moment when our gazes will meet, fairies will make their presence real. And then, when no boundries will be between us, even the stars and the moon itself will be jealous of the brightness of our unique love. You; My only reality. Me; your only solace... ~ Aphrodite

Sometimes the words seem to be useless, unable to flow and give that much-needed release. It is as if they cannot help in your struggle to purify your broken soul. It is as if they can not heal the torment of your bleeding heart. Sometimes, it is as if they are stuck in your throat, choking you, taking away your every breath; the oxygen from your lungs. It is as if you are drowned into your own emotions, staying numb; motionless; unable to move; incapable of thinking clearly; powerless in taking any decisions. You just stare into an empty space, with your gaze blurred and empty, and your senses without an…

I give up... I give up on everything that I thought I knew. I give up on all the dreams which once made my nights bloom and my days go by with genuine smiles shading my face. I give up... I give up on what I thought that was mine. I give up on that everlasting bond which used to beat strong like my own heartbeat within my chest. I give up, not because I choose to do so, but because you were the one who gave up on us... ~ Aphrodite

You're afraid, I'll leave you just like someone left me to find someone else better than me. Or perhaps, I'll leave you like I left someone to find you. I'll leave you like a snake leaves its old skin in exchange for a new one. You're worried, facing a fork in the road, we'll part ways. I'll leave you because there will be no other way to be with each other. Or maybe, I'll leave you someday Just like everyone leaves everyone for a reason or the other. But, darling! Being the ephemeral creatures that we are; so limited, so weak, so small; against the tyrannies of time, our only hope lies …

The Hollow of Once-Was All had given way the beauty faded tenderness worn the passion gone its vibrancy dulled, dispirited yet in the hollow of once-was light would catch the memory and love would be illuminated if only as an echo from the past

Never underestimate a good girl. Looks can be deceiving. There's a bad girl hidden in every single one of them. It just requires the right partner who knows how to awaken the bad girl and unleash the beast inside.

" Howling Wolf" He asked her:Who are you? She answered with a confident look: I am exactly who you think I am, A dark soul lost within the light, Fallen Black feather from a dying Raven, A perfect broken piece, Which doesn't fit anywhere except in the emptiness of her heart, A silent tear hidden in the dark, A chaotic thought floating in the nothingness, A black cloud waiting for the rain, Sad face without a name, A heartless woman with a heart, A loyal lover for the dark, Howling of a loner wolf in the night, Exactly who you think she is now By Hino Black

Stay Don't go away. Stay For one more day. Stay Forever with me. Stay Just a little longer, maybe? Stay For I feel alone When you're gone. Stay For the vacuum Created by your absence, Can be filled By no one. Stay For you Make me smile, And my smile Makes you giddy. Stay For we're perfect With our imperfections. Stay For you make me feel Safer than I've ever felt. Stay I want to say today Like everytime I want to, When I see you leave And board that flight. Stay Is the only word I promised myself Won't leave My lips today. For today, Is your day To take a step…

I choose to love you in silence… For in silence I find no rejection, I choose to love you in loneliness… For in loneliness no one owns you but me, I choose to adore you from a distance… For distance will shield me from pain, I choose to kiss you in the wind… For the wind is gentler than my lips, I choose to hold you in my dreams… For in my dreams, you have no end. ― Rumi ❤

My State of Mind" In the midst of a serious fight, I get reminded of this transcient life. Why do I coddle my ego and pride? Why do I hesitate to tell, they are my truest delight? I wanted to come forward. To express my love, apologise for my mistakes and let them know how much they are meant! But, then and there only, ‘Why me’ and ‘why can’t they’ was the question I posed to myself, And it instantly changed my mind. To choose between love and pride became a plight. And this is how I lost the most important battles of my life. Oh! I regret, I had time… but… I missed… A thousand occasions, I left, Thinking that a thousand more I will get. …

There is another sky, Ever serene and fair, And there is another sunshine, Though it be darkness there; Never mind faded forests, Austin, Never mind silent fields - Here is a little forest, Whose leaf is ever green; Here is a brighter garden, Where not a frost has been; In its unfading flowers I hear the bright bee hum: Prithee, my brother, Into my garden come!

I want a red dress. I want it flimsy and cheap, I want it too tight, I want to wear it until someone tears it off me. I want it sleeveless and backless, this dress, so no one has to guess what's underneath. I want to walk down the street past Thrifty's and the hardware store with all those keys glittering in the window, past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old donuts in their café, past the Guerra brothers slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly, hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders. I want to walk like I'm the only woman on earth and I can have my pick. I want that red dress bad. I want it to confirm your worst fears abou…

Between my finger and my thumb The squat pin rest; snug as a gun. Under my window, a clean rasping sound When the spade sinks into gravelly ground: My father, digging. I look down Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds Bends low, comes up twenty years away Stooping in rhythm through potato drills Where he was digging. The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft Against the inside knee was levered firmly. He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep To scatter new potatoes that we picked, Loving their cool hardness in our hands. By God, the old man could handle a spade. Just like his old man. My grandfather cut…

My love is like to ice, and I to fire: How come it then that this her cold is so great Is not dissolved through my so hot desire, But harder grows the more I her entreat? Or how comes it that my exceeding heat Is not allayed by her heart-frozen cold, But that I burn much more in boiling sweat, And feel my flames augmented manifold? What more miraculous thing may be told, That fire, which is congealed with senseless cold, Should kindle fire by wonderful device? Such is the power of love in gentle mind, That it can alter all the course of kind.

ہے عجیب و غریب رعنائی ہے عجیب و غریب رعنائی خود تماشا ہوں، خود تماشائی ایک ہی موج کا تسلسل ہیں تیری گیرائی، میری گہرائی دوستا عشق سے بنا کے رکھ کام آئے گی یہ شناسائی میں تو ہنستا ہوں اس خرابے پر تجھے کس بات پر ہنسی آئی تم نہیں جانتے خدا کا حال تم پہ بیتی نہیں ہے یکتائی خود مجھے بھی قبول کرتی نہیں میری خلوت پسند تنہائی خود کو عورت کی آنکھ سے دیکھا اور اک رمز کی سمجھ آئی کتنی صوفی سرشت تھی وہ آگ جو مجھے جسم سے اٹھا لائی جانے کن منظروں کو روتی ہے یہ غریب الدیار بینائی صاحبو ایک تھا علی زریون ویسا کافر نہ پھر…

کوئی مل ہی جائے گا اگر تلاش کروں کوئی مل ہی جائے گا مگر تمہاری طرح کون مجھ کو چاہے گا تمہیں ضرور کوئی چاہتوں سے دیکھے گا مگر وہ آنکھیں ہماری کہاں سے لائے گا نہ جانے کب ترے دل پر نئی سی دستک ہو مکان خالی ہوا ہے تو کوئی آئے گا میں اپنی راہ میں دیوار بن کے بیٹھا ہوں اگر وہ آیا تو کس راستے سے آئے گا تمہارے ساتھ یہ موسم فرشتوں جیسا ہے تمہارے بعد یہ موسم بہت ستائے گا

جو ہیں مظلوم جو ہیں مظلوم ان کو تو تڑپتا چھوڑ دیتے ہیں یہ کیسا شہر ہے ظالم کو زندہ چھوڑ دیتے ہیں انا کے سکے ہوتے ہیں فقیروں کی بھی جھولی میں جہاں ذلت ملے اس در پہ جانا چھوڑ دیتے ہیں ہوا کیسا اثر معصوم ذہنوں پر کہ بچوں کو اگر پیسے دکھاؤ تو کھلونا چھوڑ دیتے ہیں اگر معلوم ہو جائے پڑوسی اپنا بھوکا ہے تو غیرت مند ہاتھوں سے نوالہ چھوڑ دیتے ہیں مہذب لوگ بھی سمجھے نہیں قانون جنگل کا شکاری شیر بھی کوؤں کا حصہ چھوڑ دیتے ہیں پرندوں کو بھی انساں کی طرح ہے فکر روزی کی سحر ہوتے ہی اپنا آشیانہ چھوڑ دیتے ہیں تعجب کچھ نہیں داناؔ جو بازار سیاست میں قلم بک جائیں تو سچ بات ل…
