44. Happy Birthday!

Distance is a bitter pill to swallow, especially when time refuses to co-operate too. Gifts are too mundane and wishes, too commonplace but the love needs to transcend all. And words are all that I have... and then, even my words fall short, sometimes just insufficient, or just too simple to lend shape to all that inexplicable feelings that course through me. It is not tough to wish happiness for someone, who smiles every time you do. It is not difficult saying, "may all your wishes come true" when I am told, that I am all that was wished for. So, I wondered what I could want for you, on your birthday... And all I could think of was, that may you be as happy as you make me, may you be as blessed as I am to have you and be yours, may your life be as rich and as complete as mine has been ever since I pushed myself into your life, and you decided that it wasn't such a bad idea to let me stay on.
And as an aside (since birthday wishes are sacred), I'll be selfish and want something for myself too, and wish that I can be with you without too much delay.
Happy birthday, my love... your happiness is my happiness too!



P.S. I am not the best writer when writing about what's the deepest and the truest in my heart. Love, Guria.

43. Back to You

It's been a while since I wrote in here,
I was too worried about heartbreak
To remember to care,
That the heart was breaking elsewhere.
Never occurred to the git
Submerged in her own selfish despair
All the while, while the happiness
Blinked, breathed and stuck through.
Right next to you.
I forgot about love,
The one that comes, holds and stays-
The one that whispers,
You are worth every bit and more
I am here, always and always, am I not?
I forgot about you,
The promise unconditional,
I forgot to remember
Why I never felt alone-
I forgot in my selfish adventure
The reason I was here.


P.S. I may be slow but I do love you.

42. Goodnight

Hold me tight,
All through the night
Tucked under your face,
Warm in your embrace
Keep the monsters away
And all the fears at bay.

Sail in distant waters,
Hike the tallest mountains,
Lost in deep forests
Or with crowds in forgotten cities-
Take me away
With you,
In all your dreams,
In adventures anew

Nights that have never been better
Sleep and dreams that no more scatter,
In your arms, held fast
Peace, at long last.

41. Weird

How can someone who talks so much, incessantly, tirelessly, nonsensically be such an irritating introvert?!

40. Heading back

I could pause in my stride and not care what tomorrow's going to bring. But stop to look around and see how beautiful the day was. Grey skies were beautiful, every little thing detailed and brightened by the diffused light coming off the sun crouching behind veils of dark clouds.

I was going home. To family, to friends, to people and places I have known all my life. To the language that  is melody, that falls softly, simply off my lips. Oh, the lure of the soil. I am going home to my mother, my country.
