"Those Were the Days!"

Something that you hear
It is a common phrase
Take a look back in time
Because “Those were the days”
When tin baths were used
One washed, who was next?
Hand-me-down clothes
No talk about sex
“Run for the shelter!”
The siren is crying
Hiding in the darkness
Whilst the soldiers are dying
No video players
Hardly ever saw a car
No expensive posh pets
Just a tadpole in a jar

Se for amor =)

Se for amor, vai reconsiderar, perdoar e seguir adiante,
se for paixão vai se descabelar, se amargurar e não vai perdoar,
vai carregar a dor pelos dias em que não encontrar o amor.

Se for amor não vai cobrar, vai se entregar,
deixar de lado as dúvidas, as intrigas e simplesmente amar.

Se for paixão vai desconfiar, vai seguir e vai brigar,
vai armar um barraco até pelo que não viu,
e chorar pelo que não percebeu: a sua infantilidade...

I watched you go
You did not cry
I held your hand
As we said goodbye

You closed your eyes
Took your last breath
Your pain was all over
As you welcomed death

I cried for you
Now the pain is in me
My broken heart
Will never be free

“It’s snowing! It’s snowing!”
The little boy cried
Wide-eyed with excitement
At the whiteness outside

A blanket that covers
As far as the eye sees
So pure and new
Even covering the trees

“Let’s go for a sleigh ride!”
He’s eager and keen
Spoiling the newness
Leaving tracks where he’s been

Forbidden is my love for you
Though the feelings are deep and strong
You and I – we belong to another
So being here with you is so wrong.

Yet passion keeps me coming back
I want it from you more and more
The chemistry is electric between us
You fill my being deep down to the core.

Once again – it’s Father’s day
A day that’s just for you
For me to show my gratitude
For everything that you do
You always have time for me
Even in your busy day
A friendly word, a joke or two
Your loving smile goes a long way
I hardly ever say, “I love you”
But I feel with all my heart
A love that will never end

I would like to dedicate this poem I wrote to my fiance Gaurav whom I greatly adore, respect and love. Thanks for coming in my life sw2

Like the robin that awaits the spring
To sing merrily on a cherry tree
I long for the love you’d bring
Letting my heart fly high like a dove so free…

 Christmas time
Is almost here
Excitement grows
As it draws near.

What to buy
For Mum and Dad
More hankies and socks?
I’m sure they’d be glad!

Then there’s the children
Who want sweets and toys
Girls wanting dolls
And bikes for the boys.
