2nd Blog anniversary!!

Hello Readers,

I missed Blogosphere and you all a lot :)

Last few days I was really frustrated and upset as some inefficient careless computer guy thwarted all my plans…..My computer recently crashed and I lost a number of files…all my research data and some of my poems. But I guess I have no other option but to accept it. I have lot of work to do in coming weeks to recover the loss which means I will be absent again for some time. Hope you all won’t forget me and miss me.

Just forget all that…..I have some good news to celebrate.
Today Roses and Thorns completed 2 years in blogosphere.



Blogging had been a life changing experience for me, it has helped me develop my writing skill, acquainted me with really nice people and other blog writers, made me more comfortable with expressing myself, and made me a better individual.

Proposal

“Amusing isn't it!! Defining us through other’s eyes, the world dangerously becomes a gallery of mirror. Where only one mirror doesn’t distort or manipulate, only one that reflects the true self, the soul. In life’s maze to be happy one should avoid dissociation with self . Definitely when one already has that special mirror” looking into her eyes, treasuring her hand within his hold “ It seems you are my looking glass. I never knew myself before I met you.” Without waiting for her answer he slid the diamond ring into her hand and smiled. Her eyes gleamed in surprise, she smiled back.

Tears made way through her wrinkled eyes many years later, when she could only hold him in her memories, remembering the best thing that happened to her.

Success' Story!!

I

Before we can our Dreams reach
Inhabited by joys and cheers,
Comes a forest dark and thick—
The kingdom of Fears and Tears.
It’s a journey arduous and long
That every traveler has to take,
Before they get what they long,
Before their Dreams take real shape.
But once you enter this street
There’s no possible retreat
Until you win or embrace Defeat.

II

Trees devoid of flowers and leaves,
Disappointments buzzing flies
That lulls Hope forever to sleep,
Haunting soul piercing cries
That claws every afraid heart.
Delusions begin to whisper into the ears,
Misleading travelers to wrong path,
Where unfortunate few get cuts and scars
Who wish to stop or retreat.
But there’s no possible retreat,
Until you win or embrace Defeat.

III

Only the courageous few that still move on,
A ladder to their Dreams learn to make,
With wood of Courage, Will power strong,
Knowledge, Confidence, Belief and Faith.
Their experiences they brew and stir
To fuel the light of Insight,
Learn to extract gold from womb of Fear
And give every obstacle a good fight.
On success’ throne, they finally sit
Having never thought of retreat,
As victors they learn to defeat Defeat.
