She laughs, she cries, then she sighs
brimming with confidence,
the pain within she denies
Her heart thumps then skips a beat,
as she reads poetry, a taste of bittersweet
In quiets empty moments, a hole
remains deeply in the soul,
an abyss, an unmeasured chasm
It’s the space p~o~e~t~r~y fills

stirring her deepest passions
awakens her dormant desire
her quest not for fame or fortune
but for the elusive treasure of inner piece
Her confidence misconstrues itself for vanity perhaps

Meaning of love-
Freedom in possession,
Possession in freedom!
like kite's flying
over the sky independently
but the reel in earthly hand
love likes freedom,
sometimes knows to possess alone,
has no demand, no desire
in required sometimes descend as fighter
possession in love is
an unlimited feeling
where the authoritativeness opens
all doors
for the mind of easy immigration
