I'm A Woman In Love




Listening to songs is a must-do for me everyday when driving to and back from work. It happened that this evening the local radio station I listened to played this beautiful number "Woman In Love" by Barbara Streisand. It's an oldie but listening to it was so refreshing after a slogging day. I was immersed in the beautiful lyrics. I was lost in my dreams of how great love is! I imagined the peak of happiness one gets  when madly in love. Everything is so beautiful and nothing else matters. Love can also defy all barriers. One is willing to sacrifice anything in the name of love. How strong the power of love is!

Let me define love :

Love at its peak is sweet as honey,
That it is seen everywhere,
Among the trees, the wind and the sky,
But when something goes wrong somewhere,
It makes a U-turn and becomes sour,
Even more sour than vinegar,
Till no love bird could withstand it,
Pretty soon it gets over fermented,
And all dreams turn to trash!



I might not be the woman in love but it doesn't stop me from loving this song and singing along. C'mon, let's karaoke!

Poem - An Attempt























Whisking the gloominess away,
Putting afar from a heart swollen,
Bearing the pain till it subsides,
But a moon distant.......slowly,
Grasping rays that lead to hope,
A life's quantum leap.




What comes to mind,

Haiku - The Moon

















(1)
The soul relaxes,
As the night breeze brushes by,
Above, the moon smiles.



(2)
The moonlight flickers,
Among groups of passing clouds,
My heart skips a beat.



(3)
Full moon in command,
Howling wolves have retreated,
A night beautiful.




Captivated,
