As I Cry

As I Cry

by Vinita Singh

As I lie crying at night,
when it is not so bright,
or is it the day,
when I am so far away?
I wonder sometimes, why do I cry?
Is it the still sun shining
in the evenings or
the dull dawn in the morning?
Why is it the sudden sadness
I feel at times as I cry?
The long and lonely months,
or the sudden change of growing years?
As I cry, I ask myself, why?
The tremendous thoughts of past
memories in my mind.
Oh! Could it be the frightening
lightning thundering so loudly?
As I cry, I ask myself, why?
The growing days and passing years,
so sudden, so still, gone and passed.
I ask myself again, why do I cry?

Love is a feeling

Love is a feeling Of desire evoked with seduction A sensuous touch of affection A moment of two people with deep attraction An anticipation without An expectation Two souls combining With meaning who Have stared at each other with Words of flirtation Love is a feeling Of two souls holding hands And walking Together communicating With eyes and not a word spoken Love is a feeling of desire of Two souls caressing one another And holding each other in comfort With an energy of two bodies In strong comfort.

Dancing Journey

From Club Fitness to Golds Gym to YMCA to Salem College to Forsyth Court to Priddy Manor to Kernersridge to Dancing in the rain. To Hot Yoga. To Physical Therapy to Painful feet and complaining. To telling everyone want to see my dance. To inventing dance as a workout with high intensity to a low intensity workout for the elderly.  From getting excited to getting creative. From choreographing to learning From emotions to expressing. From Dancing outside to Dancing away and marketing on you tube to making queuing and stretching steps. To having my videos on you tube and Facebook. From learning yoga stretches to dance steps stretches to Physical Therapy not a problem but an exercise with biking. I've only grown in the years. I've only learned in the years.                                                                   ...

Dreamer

                                        It’s not the reality, it’s not the dream. I feel my dreams are more comforting than my reality. A dream of the moon, and a song is being sung. A dream of an angel passing by while I ask him will I be successful.   A dream of faces I’ve never seen, with dresses and jewelry all in my dreams. What is the reality, day to day mundane, I clean and I clean And suddenly it’s in my dreams.   Tired am I in my reality that I feel wasted time has come. In my dreams I get comfort from angels. Faces so clear, faces so vivid. It’s all an illusion you see. Not the reality you want it to be. Can we have everything the way we want in our life, Time just comes and then it’s gone Wasted time how do you say that, reality just keeps going. In our...
