Half A Thousand Dreams Unveiled..!

As I finish I wish to say

Don’t ever stop dreaming

Come what may

In this Land of Dreams

You are the best

No one is more loved

Stay forever blessed

The last time Leo had been reigning for a day in little Queen Yamini’s land of dreams, the last words he wrote for her were these. After more than a year filled with milestones, and quite beautiful poetry, Leo is in reign again for a day. I’m back for a milestone that’s of epic proportions you could say, and I’m going to write with as much gusto as I can.

Well, I’m kind of blank at this moment, writing this guest post for Yamini. It has been more than a year since I was last here. I think it was for her 198th post, and I wrote such a big story for that, that I don’t know if anything I say now can top that. But turning 500 posts is no little matter, and considering that I reserved the 500th post long back, and that she nearly cheated me out of it, I think some words I want to write. It’s a special moment for her, and for me too, coz I admire her posts a lot. Well, most of the time at least. Sometimes, I don’t feel her posts to be like her posts. It happens when you’ve read her blog for over two years, I guess!

In this one year, Yami and I’ve become closer friends. We’ve talked a lot over the phone; she’s writing better and better with each post, and she’s shot past the 300th and 400th post milestones faster than she’d expect. She’s reached this milestone a bit slower thanks to some silliness on her part. Thankfully, some how she realized she needs to speed up before she fully stopped. Thank God for friends who push her out of writer’s block at the right time. I’m kind of hoping she finishes 1000th in a month or two. It’s sort of a deal between Yamii and me. I get her big guest posts. LOL.!

She’s a passionate social worker, and she loves writing about it too. There are many poems dedicated to various causes. Inspired by injustice, she is. She’s a sponge for absorbing forms too. I’ve said it before, but I’ll restate it, coz it still holds true. She also has nice ideas, one of which materialized into Thursday Tales, our joint meme blog that I manage. She’s the chief there of course, and I’m technically the co-founder! She’s also pursuing her dream, and I think real close to realizing it. She’s good at fiction as well, though she can take some time to revise them before she posts, else they feel un-Yami-ish!

Hundred past

Double that too

Double that double

She’s not new

Five hundred

That’s where it’s at

No little feat

Milestone that

Life in her words

Dreams spur

Higher heights

That’s in her

Friendship day

Moment each

She continues

Hearts to reach

Happy 500th Yamii.

Your friend forever,

The Amateur Poet,

PS: I’m reserving the thousandth here. Now don’t say later I didn’t tell first.

PPS: I tried to wait, but its Chocolate Cake (Yumm!). I'm not that patient, so I took my piece already!! ;)
