~ Residing in a Soul ~
Has it been in a place?
That resided for awhile
A gap between times
A silence amidst of breath
In a forgotten place
Just deserted even from the wind
Undistracted peace
Weaved within silence
Just detached for all what I think I am
With no clue where I have been
And towards where I would reach
As the weight of bones are freed
Unveiled with humanely skin
With all the scars are erased
No powder mask to face
Then was in my soul exposed
For once, I truly resided into my soul

Hi..chanced upon this blog couple of days back...when i read ur poem 'who am i'?tears were rolling thru my cheeks...i loved the beautiful write up u posted as a sequel to that poem.i would like to know more about ur initiatives on cancer awareness campaign..
if u don't mind..can u drop one or two lines to my mail id scrawler.me@gmail.com
i too love to scribble..but i'm sure it cannot be categorised as 'perfect poems"..
I received the photos, thank you very much. I would like to put one of them on my blog. If you object please let me know (I'll wait a bit).
Tell me: who did the henna designs for you?? Is it traditional to have friends or family do those.
My wishes for a happy life are yours and your husbands. May you both walk in the light of warmth and light.
merry xmas! luv u
hugs

The soul is a mystery. "Undistracted peace" is a good way to describe what I look for when I need to remember my higher self.

Your poetry is always full of your emotions, so beautifully expressed.
To reside in our souls does require exposing ourselves. ("no powder mask, weight of bones are freed)
