“There's nothing wrong in dreaming. Right? Without dreaming, this life would actually resemble any circular phenomenon in which you start from a point, wander around the circle, and finally reach at the starting point again without any new discovery!”
“Unlike the summer sun,my life has started to fadeForsaken by the memories of thee,which once shone like the jade.My eyes elude the moist fear,and are now as dry as hayMelancholy cries are all I hear,'Will you be there?' I daresay!”
“Avoid the wrath of the war outside the heart! It keeps raging on.Hold on to its lullaby, even when the beats are gone.The same things that both haunt and heal,are the reason of bliss and the tears,that you can only feel.”
“Once the seed of love peneterates deep down and takes its root, it cannot be blown away, even by the immortal gusts of wind!”
“Nothing feels better than listening to the lament of your own heart- so unanimous in its own little world.”
“Only good liers can be good at depicting whether the other person is lying or not. A truthful person often remains subdued from the harsh realities of the society.”
“To watch the dawn emerge from the night undoubtedly gives a heavenly feeling! The fresh sun rays entwine with the dark horizon and peep out of the creek with tranquil grin.”
“Let the stars illuminate the basked love of your life. Never let the raw renderings cast a shadow over your sparkling heart. Let the lament of your soul become the music of your own body! Be your own master!”
“Life is resilient! Sometimes, your lips may just squander the bliss of your heart. At times, you may even wish that the sky was red. But deep down there lies a seed of goodwill that sprouts only when the sky is actually blue!”
“That crack in your broken heart is actually the place from where love enters inside you.”
“The deepest essence of life is always plunged from its thorns.”
“The forbidden love is the sea, let your thirsty eyes drink from it.”
“Never draw a crack in the mirror of soul, as it may reflect the things- undesired.”
“What rips you apart, keeps you glued.”
“Each love dopes you in its own way. Never assume that each ecstasy will be the same!”
“Sadness- just a mere disease, which keeps your soul,placed in your own haven,until you're in pieces!Verses from her poem titled as 'Sadness- an ethereal aura”
“Hatred is an unwanted domain of our heart. It obstructs the most harmonious way between you and your love. If you totally rely on what hate delivers, you'll be dazzled by its outcomes. So chase the path of love. Climb up the first stair and you won't need to wander over the entire staircase to look for its outcome.”
