Jai's Spreading Happiness And Peace

Words have all run out of breath, I have no more to say I’m sitting in a silent dark And waiting for an end.  But there is nothing left to do, And nothing left to think. I’m standing at the very edge, About to stop and sink. My feelings and my future plans Are shattered on the floor. The person that I used to be Is gone forevermore. My present is a hollow shell, My dreams have turned to dust. I’ve lost the strength to try again; I’ve lost the power to trust. I thought the Lord who made my soul Would know my spirit well. They told me He could see the truth Inside this living hell. He knows my name, He knows my face, He knows my every bone. But knowing me is not enough When I am this alone. It breaks my heart to realize, With tears upon my face, That though He sees me where I sit, He does not feel this place. To be so known, but not understood, Is the sharpest pain of all. He watches as I lose my grip, He watches as I fall. I have no more to win or lose, No hope to keep me here. The ...

 I wish for a day that ends this way, On your shoulder, I’d rest and stay, Oh, what a bliss that light would be. A longing for you, so deep and true, Whispers each day of my love for you, Stay forever, like the sky over me. To live with you is life indeed, My soulmate, you are all I need, I’ve claimed you as mine, forevermore. Through the winds, our melodies rise, Underneath the vast, open skies, A song of us, for us to adore. Since I found you, I’ve lost my way, In your love, smiles have come to stay. Since I found you, my world is new, I’m lost in the magic of loving you. This love of ours, the heavens signed, Your heart is the home I was meant to find, By your side, the shores are divine, my love. Since the moment you walked with me, Every color bloomed for the eye to see, My stars all shine where you rest your head, my love. Every word you speak is a melody sweet, My heart no longer follows my beat, I know not the spell you’ve cast on my soul... Since I found you, I’ve lost my ...

 For fifty years, you were my dawn, And five long years, I walked alone. Each step on earth, a silent prayer… To find you waiting for me here. And now I see you in this light… Same gentle eyes, so warm, so bright. In crimson silk, with bindi red… Just like the day we two were wed. My hands still shake, my voice is weak… I search for words I cannot speak. Five years without your loving touch… My heart has missed you, oh so much. She wipes the tear that leaves my eye… "My love, don't stand there asking why. I dressed for you, I knew you'd come… For fifty years, you were my home." "And now no death, no goodbye pain… We're in each other's arms again." She holds him close, he breaks inside… The lover and his eternal bride. -Jairam Kshirasagar 

 For fifty years I walked with you,   Through rising dawns and evenings too.   Your bangles sang, your sari swayed,   My gentle hands your fears allayed.   Five long years I wept alone,   An empty bed, a hollow home.   Your laughter lingered in the air,   Your fragrance whispered everywhere.   Now heaven’s gates swing open wide,   I run to you, no more divide.   You stand adorned in silken grace,   The same affection lights your face.   I see your eyes, still warm, still kind,   The love I lost, again I find.   Your touch dissolves my years of pain,   Together whole, we live again.   No mortal grief, no earthly tear,   Could dim the bond that brought me here.   In timeless skies our spirits blend,   Our love unbroken, without end.  -Jairam Kshirasagar 

 Radiant as the Morning Sun The morning wakes just to see you smile, And time stands still for a little while. You walk with a grace that the lilies know, A soft, sweet light everywhere you go. Your presence is a breeze on a summer day, Chasing every little cloud away. It’s not just beauty, it’s a magic glow, A gentle rhythm that the heavens sow. I look at you and the world turns bright, Like a garden bathed in the softest light. You are the moonlight, calm and crystal clear, The only melody I want to hear. With eyes like the ocean, deep and sparkling blue, Every beautiful thing reminds me of you. You are the elegance, the warmth, the soul, The missing piece that makes my spirit whole. The stars are jealous of the way you breathe, A tapestry of light that you unweave. I searched for words in ancient, dusty books, But found my language only in your looks. Your laughter is a song that the angels play, A golden spark in the middle of the day. Like a rose in bloom under velvet skies, I...
