I have done it again! My anguish is indscribable....


I have done it again! (To all my friends on the Bay)

Well, I have gone and done it again,
Clicked the wrong column and deleted again!
All the lovely messages from my lovely friends!
It comes as such a shock, when you click to find,
Staring at you an empty page-
Blank, white, unfriendly, it throws you in a rage.
You throw up your hands and in desperation say:
Where did it go? where is my page?
Now, what have I Done this time Again?
You kick yourself symbolically in that one place!
Then you go back and forth again and again.
Then again and again...
Till you make sure that you have lost them all!
The frustration that sets in is indescribable:
Here you are in the process of meticulously
Trying to answer each friend's mail,
And sit down with pleasant anticipation of chats
With your friends on the bay, and are involved
in it, in sweetest of ways:
smiling at some ones cute remark,
Laughing at a joke someone has just cracked,
Or just musing over what poetry should be,
Or just discussing some ones life's history:
An episode, an event, or deepest of thoughts,
Some thing, which can make your whole day!
Some thing that can inspire you to write,
Something from which you can learn a lesson,
Some thought that could linger in sweetest of ways
in to your heart and mind for days-
A cyber chat can affect you in so many of ways...
And the most exciting is the anticipatory thrill,
With which you open a message from a friend,
Each one a piece of loving heart, each one a precious gem.
Now I have lost eighty such gems!
I feel I am the poorest one on Earth!!!!!!
Friendless, helpless, hapless of all!!!!
Tears of anguish and remorse fill my heart!!!!
What am I to do, but lament?
Curse myself, hate myself; kick my self again,
Again and again!
I even feel ashamed to ask you this:
Could you please send me those messages?
I know you will curse me, call me irresponsible!
But, all I can say is that my dear friends,
I have gone and done this stupid thing,
Would you please forgive me, this gross indiscipline?
And please, please send me those messages again!!!
Waiting for those massages with abated heart,
I say good bye with saddest of hearts...
Love is all I can offer now,
And a ((((big hug)))),
Which I myself need desperately now!
Zoya

Hey Zoyaaa

Maxmedo is back, this is just a welcome note for you........we r always here....you know why??

COZ WE GOT NO WHERE ELSE TO GO

This is your place and our place

Carved in here every footpace

Nightmares went and dreams we will chase

Dont Let me see sadness ever on your face....

Your the poems

No limitations for thought
Creativity with no end...

I hope this anguish fades away
And keep in touch every single day..

I love you Zoya! You make it okay to be human. It is okay to be human and make mistakes isn't Zoya. Yes! It is! There's no perfection in humankind as far as I know.
We just do the best we can and be who we are. I love it when I feel I am not in the world of errors all alone. I love being in the same company as you, a talented, artistic, compassionate soul. No more kicking or crying, just writing. : ) kathy

For i too hold thine messages dear,
