But now I found myself smiling with no reason
Funny that sometimes you're in my imagination

To be disrespectful towards you,
The more chances are there to lose respect for your own self.
The more you depend on others for getting respect;

Tears

Walking through the rain,
I try to forget the pain.
I try to ignore the sting in my eyes,
because I know a strong girl never cries.

Pallavi Deepchand

Candles

They are the last romantics, these candles:
Upside-down hearts of light tipping wax fingers,
And the fingers, taken in by their own haloes,
Grown milky, almost clear, like the bodies of saints.

Where sifted sunshine soothes the eye
And cosy hillocks rest.

To pour my soul forth in one trumpet strain,

If You Only Knew

Far from me and like the stars, the sea and all the trappings of poetic myth,

Of sulfurous dreamscapes and obscure lunar conundrums

I cannot look at another man's face.

From 'the Testament Of Beauty'
