If Only

If only,

I could take back my words,

I'd say the right ones, and tell you,

How much you mean to me

If only,

I had another chance,

I'd spend each day of my life,

Making up, for every mistake, I made

If only,

I could stop time, for a moment,

I'd take that moment,

And live a lifetime with you

If only,

I could look at you once,

I'd remember each expression,

Each move that you make

If only,

I could hold your hand,

I would never let it go,

I'd be by your side, forever

If only,

I could take you in my arms,

I would feel alive again,

I'd find a reason to live

If only,

I could kiss your lips,

I would breathe again,

And, my soul would rejoice

If only,

I could spend my life with you,

I would be complete,

And, there would be no regrets

If only,

You would say yes,

I'd give you every happiness,

I'd make all your dreams come true,

I'd make you my world, my life

Each breath I'd take, would be for you

If only,

You would love me,

I'd be there in the end

I'd make every thing real, 

I'd be your best friend

I would love you,

More than there are stars in the sky,

More than the darkness of night, 

More than the vastness of space,

More than the heat, a fire could ignite

This one came to me suddenly, and I wrote it down in such a short time, which is very unusual for me because usually, it takes ages. The title and some of the feelings I felt while writing this down, came from the movie "If  Only". I found the movie beautiful, about second chances and, love and, mistakes...and regrets.

And, these lines from the song, "If Tomorrow Never Comes", by Ronan Keating, again, got all my emotions fired up!

"I made a promise to myself,

 To say each day, how much she means to me

 And avoid that circumstance,

 Where there's no second chance, to tell her how I feel

 If tomorrow never comes..."

Okay, so I hope you all liked it :) Good night guys. Sleep tight :)

The Answer (Guest Entry)

Here's a reply from my Dad...for the last  post. You're truly amazing Dad :* I love you so much :*

I too look at myself, in the mirror,

And sometimes, see a stranger there

I thought I knew, all the ropes, all the roads,

Now some times, I see a danger there

No, it’s not a writer’s block,

It’s just a blank wall, that blocks my vision

My eyes are wide open,

But they just seem, to stare into oblivion

Words are just no more my friends,

So they are not easy, to be spoken, or written

It’s not that I don’t want to say something,

It’s just that, all the right words are hidden

It’s just a phase I’m going through, right now,

I thought, I understood love & life, but I’m confused

There’s so much contradiction, so many conflicts

So much is going on in my world, it keeps me amused

You say, my words cast a spell,

That they were an inspiration, for you

I’m sorry if I disappointed you, my girl,

I promise to rise above this situation, for you

'Cause if you know me, you’ll know I’m a fighter,

With two negatives, I love to make a positive

Yes, you’ve given me a challenge, saying,

Not to leave the page blank, and to try to be creative

See, I've managed to pick up the courage,

And write these lines, only FOR YOU

From the blanks, I've tried to join the dots

With some words, I could find only for you

THANK YOU SWEETY,

YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION, YOU KNOW

YOU WILL HELP ME,

IN MY DESPERATION, OF THIS I’M SURE

....................................................................................................................................................................

Thank you, Dad. I loved this post. This is what I was talking about. You words are amazing, because you are too. I knew you'd bounce back, I've always known :*

An Inspiration

I look at you, and wonder,

What are you waiting for?

What do you need?

About what, are you not sure?

Why do you falter?

What is it, that stops you?

Which tide is it,

That you wish, to swim through?

I saw a world so different,

Through your eyes

A tear turned to laughter,

A sunset, to sunrise

Now, why is it,

That you deny me

Of words of love and romance,

Those of winds, and the sea?

I crave to hear the words,

That you once weaved, out of little

Nothing else could give me,

The joy, they would bring

What is it, that inspires you?

I know not, what is wrong

I write now, to make you understand,

What I had known, all along

Your words cast a spell,

They're an inspiration to me,

If that light inside you, fades away,

So will the world, I love to see 

....................................................................................................................................................................

This post was written on a whim...for someone who really should know how good he is...my Dad :* I know it's not a writer's block that's stopping you from writing, please don't stop...I hope you find this post an inspiration, maybe just in a way that you can write me a reply to it?

You're amazing at this, Dad, and I can't wait to read your words, weaved into beautiful poetry or writing, something that takes me into another world altogether, something that inspires me...

I love you, do it for me please :* 

Don't leave that page blank,

Fill it with your thoughts

Pick up that pen now,

Let's start joining the dots

:)

Good Night, Guys...Dream beautiful dreams :) 

An Evening in Paradise

We sit close, with fingers intertwined

In a valley, in the middle of nowhere

The earth laughs, with flowers,

As their colors weave a magic, so rare

We lie down among the flowers,

Watching red ink flow, on a blue parchment

As the evening sky, gets a crimson tinge

With the beauty which the setting sun, lent

A sweet smelling breeze touches us

And whispers of love, we hear,

In the magical scent, of jasmines

As the first signs of darkness, appear

The last of the birds fly home,
And the twilight fades away, into the night
As stars appear, in the meadows of heaven
We fall in love again, under the soft light

We listen to the crickets chirp,
And each of the sounds, the night brings
The tinkling of a spring, nearby,
The song that a solitary bird, sings

The moon appears soon,
And pieces of cloud, scatter and glide
As the stars sing their lullaby,
I fall asleep, with you by my side

Moments later, my eyes open
We're in our bed, and I realize
Just a moment, spent in your arms,
Could give me an evening, in paradise

....................................................................................................................................................................

This one gave me a lot of trouble! It just wouldn't come out the way I wanted :( ...until it finally did ;) I should tell you, that I was totally inspired when I heard someone say the words, "Just like a picnic in heaven", and I played around with the idea for sometime...and finally, you're looking at the result!:)

Thanks to you who gave me this idea :) I owe you ;)

Hope you guys like it :)
Good Night...I  hope you all sleep well, as the stars sing their lullaby ;) :)

Oh yeah, and the above picture is from the movie, Twilight...I don't own it. It's the only picture I found, that was the closest to what had imagined. 

What You Left Behind...55Fiction#3

On nights like these, I wish you were by my side...

The world around me is still

All I wish to hear, is your heart beat,

Though it no longer does

In the darkness, I cry for you

I miss you, my love,

I miss our life together...

...Lonely nights are all you left behind

Stuffed with Love

Her little hands clasped me,

So close to her heart

In her warm bed, I used to dream,

Of us, never being apart

She talked to me everyday,

Told me all her little secrets

She took me everywhere she went,

Even to the tea parties, she had for her pets

Soon the day came,

When more friends, she made  

She forgot about me then,

With new companions, now she played

She tried to hide me,

When friends dropped by

Still sometimes, when we were alone, 

She'd hold me close, with a little sigh

I watched her grow up,

From the little corner of her room

And I had no doubt, that soon,

Into a beautiful woman, she'd bloom

I knew she was falling in love,

When I saw her, all dreamy-eyed

I saw her blush and laugh more,

When he was by her side

I was never jealous or mad,

Happiness was all I wanted for her

Sadness was all I felt,

Thinking of how close, we once were

Then on the night before her wedding, 

Into the darkness, poured in light, 

As the door to her room opened,

She took a step forward and came into sight

I knew she had come for me at last,

She walked to me and stood still

As she looked at me lovingly,

The tears in her eyes, started to spill

And she said to me,

"Thank you, for listening to me,

Thank you, for keeping my secrets

In you, my childhood I see"

"I'm marrying the boy,

 Who had once given you, to me

The most beautiful present I'd got,

The year I turned three"

"My companion, you've always been,

I will always love you, Mr. Bear

Thank you, for being my friend,

For you, I'll always care"

....................................................................................................................................................................

Hey guys, had fun writing this post! :) Hope you all like it...relive your childhood memories with the warm, cuddly teddy bears you get today! Have a wonderful day full of love and bear hugs! :)

                                                                                                                                                
"A Teddy Bear doesn't need a heart, because it is already stuffed with love!" :D 
Happy Teddy Bear Day! :)))

The Proposal - 55Fiction#2

If I could be with her,

To her beauty, I'd add a glow

I wait for him patiently, when on his knees

His love for her, he'd show

I know, She'll say "yes"

And together, they ever shall be

I'll sparkle on her finger,

A symbol of their love and trust, for all to see

....................................................................................................................................................................

No guesses here, right? :) Well, going with mushy and romantic atmosphere...here's a toast to all lovers and friends who take the big step today, and who, to quote Ankit, "on their knees, break years of patience" :)  May all of you find lots and lots of love and happiness...

Happy Proposal Day, people! ;)

Goodnight :)
