Everything ... nothing

There was everything,
Everything that I could ever want.
Cake, candles, flowers and drinks.
A friend too, who means a lot..

gifts too, of course :-)
How can I miss them!
They took me all by surprise.
... there was everything

The theatre tickets ..
..they had the icing effect -
Thank you so much!
..there was everything.

Still there was emptiness ..
..Loneliness and sadness!
There was everything ..
.. yet there was nothing.

“Nothing” is part of everyone’s life .. We should ignore “Nothing” and enjoy “Everything” we have … belated Happy Birthday & Happy New Year…

You are correct Mintu ...
The exaggeration is solely intended for appeal ... I am enjoying everything :-)
Thank you for your wishes :-)
A wonderful 2009 to you!

Thinking aloud, this poem could also end like this -

Still there was emptiness ..
..Loneliness and sadness!
There was everything ..
.. yet I was missing something.

The title could be:
Everything ... but that one-thing!


HEHEHEHE

Waiting for the full moon, have forgotten how pretty the crescent or the dark night looks..The full moon is just a matter of a day, imperfection is what completes all of us. Brings us together and then makes sure we stay together.....

Cheers
