My heart will go on

Love can touch us one time 

And last for a lifetime 

And never let go till we're gone 

Love was when I loved you

One true time I hold to 

In my life we'll always go on 

Near... 

Far... 

Wherever you are 

I believe that 

The heart does go on 

Love is an act of faith. It will see us through the darkest moments in our lives. As we journey through the ebbs and flows, love will give us hope …. never to let go.

Which poet are you?

I recently took this personality test http://quizsocial.com/which-poet-are-you/your-result-6/ and voila here's what I got:

Your inner child is so awesome that you refuse to grow up. You are good with responsibility and excellent with family and children. However, you have an innocent, joyful view of the world that will never age. You know no teacher, preacher, parent, friend, or wise man can decide what's right for you. You listen to the voice that speaks inside.

This interpretation is pretty accurate and cool! I believe that it’s my joyful view that has kept me going when the going gets tough.  Though I’ve stumbled a couple of times, the voice from within tells me to keep reaching for my stars…

Here's a sample of Shel's quirky poem for children...remember to spread hugs!

Crazy Love

Falling in love is beautiful

it makes my eyes sparkle

and fills my heart with excitement.

These inexplicable feelings drive me crazy

Sadness and pain

Joy and happiness

Madness and confusion

I am thrilled to discover what lies ahead

To have him beside me and make beautiful sand castles

To have him beside me and soar into the blue sky

To have him beside me and go deep down into the vast ocean

To have him beside me and be madly in love

Priceless moments shared with him

A lifetime of happiness

I believe

I have always admired Audrey Hepburn for her timeless beauty and inspiration. The way she had touched people’s lives will never be forgotten. Here’s my version of I believe as a tribute to my fair lady!

I believe in making sweetness an everyday thing

I believe in saying things with love

I believe in looking awesome all the time

I believe in gazing at stunning sunsets

I believe in holding someone’s hand while walking

I believe in wishing upon a star

I believe in dancing till your heart's content
I believe in being beautiful inside out

I believe in unrequited love

I believe in fluttering like a butterfly

I believe in chasing rainbows

I believe in laughing hard and crying harder

I believe in simple joys and pleasant surprises

I believe in having a strong mind and a strong heart

I believe in taking a leap of faith

I believe in being a hopeless romantic

I believe in falling in love deeply, madly, and truly
I believe in God's amazing favor

I heart Dubai!

Time flies when you are having fun! Today I celebrate my anniversary here in Dubai. It was indeed a leap of faith. I thank God for giving me the courage to pursue a different path and discover amazing opportunities. I’m truly grateful to those wonderful people who have shared this journey with me. Enjoy watching my desert escapades!

Crossroads

Our hearts beat as one

Our worlds are intertwined

I thought I have found bliss

but in our closeness lies my struggle.

I'm scared to question things

I'm afraid to hurt you

but I need to spread my wings.

I long to discover myself

I yearn to be healed.

You mean a lot to me and

even though our hearts no longer beat as one

and our worlds do not intertwine

nothing can change my love for you.

M-i-s-s-i-n-g YOU

I thought I have lost you

I thought you have given up

but you patiently waited for this moment to come.

The stars have aligned and our paths have crossed again.

It is surreal that time stops when I am with you

It is surreal that I feel at peace in your embrace

It is surreal that you make me laugh like a child

Thinking of you makes my heart skip a beat

And all I want is to be in your arms again.

Lovestruck

You bring colors to my day

You excite me with your laughter

You magnetize my mind with our endless conversations

You melt my heart with your sweet nothings

With you, it feels amazing to be crazy and funny

With you, there is never a dull moment

With you, I feel brand-new

With you, I am completely mesmerized 

Unlocked

The chains of my old world still haunt me;

but I will be bold enough to steer my own ship.

I am wise. I am free. I am courageous.

I will fathom what real happiness is

I will falter and stumble but I will rise and learn

I will listen to the voice from within

I will figure things out and take risks

I will challenge myself to see things differently

I’ll keep believing. I’ll keep dreaming. I’ll keep trusting myself.

I will embrace change with no fear;

until those chains are unlocked eternally.

It's L-O-V-E!

LOVE moves in mysterious way. It’s a magical feeling. Now I’ve had the time of my life. I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is while you’re in the world. You gave me a reason for my being and I love what I’m feelin. I'll be your love, be everything that you need. I love you more with every breath. Truly, madly, deeply do. You are turning me on, you turn me around. You turn my whole world upside down. 

And we can build this dream together. Standing strong forever. Nothing's gonna stop us now. We're the king and queen of hearts. Hold me when the music starts. All my dreams come true when I dance with you. You've got to believe in magic, somethin' stronger than the moon above 'cause it's magic when two people fall in LOVE. 

Rainbow

Sandscapes Dubai 10 January 2014

"Rainbow"

Being with you turn every fear into hope;

Being with you turn every sadness into joy;

Being with you turn every dream into reality;

You are my inspiration. You are my love. You are my forever.

You are my rainbow.
