Not Everyday


​It's not everyday
You wake up feeling OK

It's not everyday
You are grateful towards your Mom​

It's not everyday
You hug your Dad

It's not everyday
You join a new​ ​​, ​​harrowing​,​ blinding job for money

It's not everyday
You quit that same,​harrowing​,​ blinding job ​​​for peace​

It's not everyday 
You meet that being who ​soothes your being​​

It's not everyday
You meet a being that burns your conditioning​

It's not everyday
A person who just walked into you life, turns your world upside down

It's not everyday
You notice unconditional kindness in some unexpected corner

It's not everyday
You act strong when all you wanna do is let loose

It's not everyday
You bless a spontaneous decision that was once just an 'impluse'

It's not everyday 
You notice the difference between an impulsive and a spontaneous and a desperate decision

It's not everyday
Some people are nasty to you and you won't care

It's not everyday
Some people are nasty to you and you won't mind

It's not everyday
Your boss is being an a**

It's not everyday
You are being an a**

It's not everday
You enjoy walking for no good reason

It's not everyday
Your salary fills your heart with pure joy

It's not everyday
You get tired of being part of the professional drama

It's not everyday 
You are hooked to your phone for communicating with that one person

It's not everyday 
You meet that mate does a salsa with your soul​

It's not everyday
You surrender to your lover body, heart and soul

It's not everyday
You lust for someone else while being with someone else

It's not everyday
You accept your religion

It's not everyday
You reject your religion

It's not everyday
You see everything as miracle

It's not everyday
You ponder, 'Who has been the one in between these 'everydays'?'

It's not everyday
You will have an absolute answer to this

It's not everyday
That the answer no longer matters

Eyes of a Loner and Lips of a Sinner

Those few of you who know my intense connection with "eyes of a loner & lips of a sinner", here is putting together some lines. There are many layers to them and just like it happens with everything in life, you may take any interpretation that 'makes sense' to you. However, my suggestion would be; DON'T try and make sense of it! Just FEEL it. Don't wonder what went through my mind when I wrote this or what metaphor I mean by certain word or why have I structured it in certain way or any just literary critic-like nonsense. 

Just feel your breathing and read. Read the emotions that it creates within you, read with love!

Eyes of a loner

TEXT
Their paths crossed.
In a moment there was oneness of pain & pleasure, heartbreak & union, tear &smile, love & hate.
Only thing remained- eyes of a loner.

Lips of a Sinner

TEXT
When they come together
Blissful silence fills the heart
Like butterflies in spring flutter

When they are apart
Out comes cold shiver, angry rant, empty promises
Like a vacuum that doesn't depart

When they turn outward
The world is not bold enough to handle them
Like an unsaid crime committed

When they lay real close and stretch
The infinite love radiates and overflows
Like the one Rumi's poem fetch

Dear Universe, such is your wonder
In love with lips of a sinner
 

If loner's eyes and sinner's lips have moved something inside you, SMILE. :)

Love,
Shivani
