I--IMAGINATION...!!!

My Land of Dreams

is a flower of thoughts

is a perfume of love

its a perpetual delight

My Land of Dreams

is the ocean of imagination

is the tree of smiles

is the heart of life

My Land of Dreams

is an appreciation of happiness

is the celebration of joy

is an art of imagination

My Land of Dreams

is the rhythm of my life

Its makes me special

as the music of Octaves..!!!

C--CARE...!!!

I am safe in a place
which no one can see
but its the best
in billion different ways

Life gave me this moment
precious and rare
filled with love and care
to be in that place

I cradle there
as a little girl
I dance with joy
celebrating my life

one day I asked
why is it my place
one day I asked
will it be always mine

It said:
When I heard of you
I did what all Daddies Do
I opened my heart wide
where you always have place inside

Written for April A-Z Challenge...!!!

A--ANGEL...!!!

She brought me to life
Gave strength to survive
She understood my smiles
Even far across miles

She wiped off my tears
Was there to calm down my fears
She spread pure love
As the little while dove

With freedom I dream
With confidence I achieve
As she is always near
guiding through my path clear

She is my angel, My Mother
Who is best than any other
Filled with love and care
She is always ready share

LOVE YOU MAA...!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO "ME"...!!!

Years passed, memories brought
I feel fortune of every second
This day bring me happy tears
And thoughts joyful to ears

This Island of dreams
amid the sea of love
be it small, its special
for my little heart is true here

Dancing in the fountain
of love, of care, of happiness
I enjoy this special day
In my Land of dreams

This is my special wish
to my special heart
on this special day
from this special place

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO "ME"...!!!

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY..!!!

The little fingers
fly the balloons
the little palms
clap in joy

Their innocent smiles
refresh the air around
their special presence
make the day the best

They find happiness
in everything around
they sense a special joy
with every little thing in life

Today is the day
special to them
to celebrate
their sweet life

To every kid
be it at heart
this is my wish
from my Land of dreams

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY..!!!

A Land of Culture
A Land of Tradition
A Land of Colors

From my Land of Dreams
I salute Mother India
for her strength, for her love
She is one, making all of us ONE....!!!

This is to my wonderful country, a special place ton live and love, this is to every Soldier who fight for the nation...this is for every Indian citizen..!!!

Two souls together
gave birth to this little girl
who today is someone
special to them, to her self

They loved her to heavens
She is their Angel, their princess
They showed her every smile
special to them, to her self

They are my sweetest parents
the sweet little girl, is me
To be their child, is a GIFT
I treasure all my life...!!!

This is to the world's best parents, who not only gave me life, but also helped me dream and work to make my dreams come true. Their special love is the foundation of my Land of Dreams. Mamma and Papa, I LOVE YOU...!!!

Smiles, Fights, Tears, Happiness
We shared it all, for each other
no matter what, we were there
for each other, all time

Love her for her presence

Special times, turned more better
when shared with her, every night
together we will be every time

My Li'l sister, she is special
Will love her forever
Dear, Do remember, I am always there
for you where ever you are...!!!

This is to my special sister, who has always been special to me. She is someone who taught me life's greatest lessons. Though she is my younger sister, she is my teacher. she is my special sister and I Love her...!!!

The cool breeze around
The chirping birds above
The sun beams, the Moon light
The twinkling stars, the clear clouds

Every little thing of the Nature
Inspires me to write, day in & day out
The colors of nature, is life
always changing, but then beautiful

This is for the birds, the flowers
The trees, the rains, the colors
For everything natural
Naturally from my Land of Dreams...!!!

This is a dedication to mother nature...without which we are never here...and also, the primary inspiration for my dreams...!!!

They are the tune of my heart
They are the rhyme of my poetic art
They are the flight of my imaginations
They are the reason of my every creation

They brought to me love
They brought me much above
They helped me write
They wanted to make me right

They encourage, they criticize
They are my inspiration too
I write for them, i live for them
They are my sweetest friends...!!!

This is to every friend of mine...who know me, who dont know me, whom i know, whom i dont know...to everyone reading this...!!!! you are all special to me and friends...I treasure your presence..!!! LOVE YOU DOST...!!!

Never lost a smile
Never forgot life
Never thought of sorrow
Never forgot "SELF"

When with them
I loved myself more
They are special
to my little heart

Think of friendship
We lived it together
we are all apart, still together
Love you OCTAVES...this is for you..!!!

This for those eight F.R.I.E.N.D.S. in ma life who made my life special. The Gang of Octaves..not only special friends but also special people together...we are are the founders of our social service project --project AKANKSHA...we are the active members of it...WE love to serve people and we love to be together...though we are spread throughout the world today, we are still connected heartfully..!!!

Special world i saw
every night, making bright
colorful with life's all colors
Cheerful with smiles all around

Only i know the special place
special for my heart
it let my life even more beautiful
with its colors, with its smiles

It is my dream world
I adore, I await
Special like my Land of Dreams
Never will forget, ever in life

This is to all the special dreams i live at night...I dreamt for my life, i dreamt for my world, One day i will like to see them come true...!!!

Like the shining dew drops
on the petals of the little rose
Like the flight of the little dove
amidst the white soft clouds

I wish to shine with happiness
I wish to fly till the heavens above
I love to be cuddled in his arms
I live to see this come true

Everyday changing panorama
your smile makes it special
To the heavens' height
I Love you...I wish to say..!!!

This is to that person of my life whom i never met till date....but wish to meet him atleast once in my life to let him know how much i Love him...this is to my dream boy who makes me feel special i think of him...!!!

Thanks a ton for reading...!!! wish me to continue the journey of my dreams...!!!

I WRITE...!!!

with the sun around
I wrote my dreams
with the moon above
I wrote my heart

better always
I tried to write
never was I happy
with what I wrote

but today I realize
my writings, some way
are better read inspiring
me to write more

in this happiness
I search words to write
a heart full of joy
can never write, i realize too

even though I tried
to write, my heart
joined the words together
This is what i could write
..!!!

Hi friends...today i am very happy. happy above the world...on the cloud9. i won the Acrostic Only competetion for the month of August (check here)...!!!

FRIENDS WE ARE...!!!

When our spirits need a lift

They are around as a precious gift

When our SELF loses its identity

They bring to us our inner beauty

When we feel alone, not fine

They are there with us to dine

When life’s hardship knock

They still make our life rock

When all the pain melts in our chest

They comfort us, make us feel the best

When we lose the key to our private door

They keep it safe, in their heart’s store

When we jump in happiness

They are there with us to create a mess

When we stand with a ball in the ground

They are definitely found somewhere around

When we want a hug of love

They are there with as a little dove

When we want to brighten our day

They are there with us, forever to stay

When we are lost under the sun

They get us back to the world of fun

When we still don’t understand who they are

They shout to us, still smiling, “FRIENDS WE ARE”...!!!!

Happy friendship day friends....have a blast today....and be the finest friends to me as the way you always have been...!!! Missing Octaves this time...I am seriously having tears in my eyes...but then, i think i dont have anyother option than juss living with this truth...!!!

Thanks for being there every time...!!! Have a Blast...!!!

WALL OF STRENGTH..!!!

The wall of strength

stood by me all my way

It helped me stand and strong

The support was so strong

The wall remained the same

As i changed with time

Built with the bricks of love

it has built me too

It is a friend, a wall of yellow roses

It is my love, a wall of red buds

It is the peace, wall of mighty white

It is my life, I always adore

I am away from it now

lead my life alone, i dont know how

The wall of strength is my dad

My best friend, my inspiration, my Life...!!!

MY SPECIAL WORLD...!!!

The droplets from Heavens above
Drizzling the joys of the souls unknown
An umbrella of the white roses
The waters tickling our feet

The fragrance of Love
surrounds our world
Its only him and me
Its our special world

Let the moon only see us
In the dim candle light we smile
Hand in hand we whisper
I LOVE YOU...!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSYA..!!!

A beautiful little angel

with smile as her wings
entered our family
just an year ago

The little fingers caught him
The tiny eyes looked him
The beaut herself, is with him
Just an year ago

Its not just her birthday party tonight
Its the celebration of happiness
that she brought to us
Just an year ago

This is just a special wish
from my Land of Dreams
To my Brother's Daughter
Its her birthday today

Happy Birthday and many more wishes to JOSYA MEDURI....!!!

YOU ARE AN ART...!!!

Falling down from heaven
Flowing to a side to pool up
Between you kiss my cheeks
Refresh all my lost senses

You are not the same to everyone
To some you are precious
To some you are a disaster
To me, you are my best friend

You bring me a sweet smile
You dont show off my tears
Your tinest form is a joy
Your presence I always Enjoy

You are an art, you are a song
You are a beauty, you are a charm
You are not often there
But still, you are special

Dear Rain Drop,
My heart falls open when I stand in you
I feel no sorrow I feel no pain,
I feel so complete when I am with you..!!!

TO MY SWEETEST DARLING..!!!

I was in search of an angel
wings of love and care
I was in search of a pearl
Pearl of the best beauty

I was in search of a flower
Flower with the best fragrance
I was in search of a Place
Which had the feel of a heaven

I was in search of a friend
Friend whi knew me better
I was in search of a soul
Soul to which i was a princess

I was searching all around
Day and Night, every where
Now I find her, already there
With me, since my day one

Her soft hug is the perfect heaven
Her tender smile is the special fragrance
Her Love is the pure natural pearl
Her presence is the elixir of life

She is my sweetest sweetest Mother
Who loves me like noneother

She is my dearest Mother

Who is my best friend ever.

MAMMA...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY....!!!

You are the best mother in the world and i dont have anything to gift you that can weigh with the life you gave me and the Love you shared....so, mamma this is what i can give you(a small dedication from my Land Of Dreams....!!!! Be the best always.....LOVE YOU DARLING..!!!

Hello every one, I wish all your special mothers a y happy mother's day...and wish their good wishes and all the love be with us forever and ever..!!!

P.S.Will be back soon at your blogs...!!If anyone missed my last post...please check it out...!!!

ME...A STAR...!!!

Some times i wonder What am I?
Just an other girl
Dreaming the angels
Loving the roses

Am i just an other girl
Smiling for little everything
Living in fantasy
Admiring its beauty

Some times i wonder
If i will ever be different
But i now realize
I am already changed

I think better about life
I know what i need
I follow the path unique to me
I live to reach my goal

I wanted to me a shining star
I see i am already one
Then the very next second
I realize, I a bit in the galaxy...!!

150 Dreams... The Brilliance Continues...

Today, the Land of Dreams reaches 150 posts. And I get the honour of being the first guest blogger here. This is also my first guest post ever.

I am not sure how long it has been since I met the wonderful blogger Yamini Meduri. It was sometime in October 08 i guess. She used to be known as DilMainHainPyar those days and she got to my blog from a friends blogroll. As time passed by, I got to know her real name, and we ended up becoming fast friends.

Yamini, your old pen name suited you. Your heart is indeed full of love. And the poems in your blog prove that. Love for your parents, your friends and just the pure love for poetry. Indeed, any person who has a frown on his face, all he needs to do is look at your smile, and he will forget what was troubling him. You are always willing to share our troubles and make us smile. No wonder I nicknamed you Smiley!

You are always there to help out when needed. If it is in your capacity to do, you are willing to do it. Frankly, I can say that there are very few people out there who would be willing to do this. With a big heart to take shelter, you always make friends so happy and enjoyable to just be with you and talk to you. You always hear us out and then help us solve our problem.

You are very versatile. Not only do you write quite good poetry, you are just brilliant at art. You just take my breath away with those pencil sketchings of yours. Especially the Radha Krishna pictures. If I had a photo of myself that was clear enough, I would give it to you, so you could sketch me. You are that good...! You also are very talented at that craftwork. Super handiwork you have!

You are a terrific social worker. The work you have done with Project Akanksha and for it, is quite commendable. And I have found you to be a honest blogger. You write from the heart always, and sometimes just hitting out on issues that you find dear to you.

Some friendships are long distance. But with you it is not. Seriously, when you are touching hearts with your words, no one will feel any distance at all. Though sometimes I do wish you were closeby, so I could give you a bear hug and lift you into the air! :)

Your friendship has that effect sometimes.

Thank you Yammi, for letting me be the guest blogger for this 150th dream. May you have many many more. And may I be there for all of them.

Yet am I to find

A friend so like you

My heart says I wont

Meet anyone like you

I find that to be true

Vinay aka Leo.

PS: Can I reserve guest post for 500th Dream too? Pretty Please Yammi! :)

VIRTUAL WEB..!!!

The web I built has all the strings
Strings that are beautiful and strong
Weak I became, while building it
Left it there, in search of another world

Finding nowhere, something more beautiful
Came back to find, the web still there
But this time, it was complete
Wondered who would complete it

When I knew about the people responsible
I wanted to give them a hug
I wanted to show them my smile
But now I know, I can never do that

So here I am, in my Land of Dreams
Thanking all my virtual friends
Who supported me during my journey
Who completed the beautiful web of friends

hello friends...this post is for all those who read this post and also to those whom i admire in this virtual world. i believe that there has been a great impact of my virtual friends in my life. To me all my friends are the best and so are the virtual ones. so, dear friends here goes a post dedicated to you wonderful people who bring that little smile every time they are online.

the above is the award i would pass on to each and every blogger of this blogger world and i dont think i will have to mention all the names. but friends, you all mean a lot to me. thanks for being there always in my Land Of Dreams not just to share my dreams but also for making them special. Thanks a ton....!!

P.S.** i wish to see this award posted in your blogs.

MY SUPPORT, MY LIFE, MY DAD...!!!

The little pink kite, up above the sky
It is me flying high, with no limits at all
Happy was I enjoying the flight

The shining wave, all around the sea
It is me dancing there, touching the beach
Dancing was I on the sands underneath

The twinkling star, in the dark sky
It is me shining bright, showing light
Smiling was I in that vast space

All the while, happy was I
Knowing not, the reason for it
I felt I am the little angel, alive on Earth

I know it, now for sure
That it is you, who is there all the way
Making me the perfect to live the best

You are the string helping me fly that high
You are the breeze helping me dance in the sea
You are the darkness helping me shine bright

Precious is your presence, to your little princess
So be there with me forever and ever
To make her the best person like you

Dear DAD
Just three words I wish to say
I LOVE YOU…!!!
