Have you read the novel series of the Vampire themed love story by Stephenie Meyer called the Twilight Saga? It would transport you to a different world altogether, like many good books. And no, I don’t want to be a Vampire. That is too boring. But I have always believed in magic and I feel everyone has a superpower. A superpower that is unique to each of them and makes them special and can only touch others but not be touched.
And I feel a poem would sum up what my heart feels about what I wish I were, here it goes:
I wish I were a telepath,
easy it would be to solve life’s math.
I wish I were a healer,
easing the pain and not letting time be the teacher.
I wish I could teleport,
waiting for holidays I could cut short.
I wish I were Flash,
the heavy traffic I could smash.
I wish I were a time traveler,
meeting my older self and seeing my own avatar.
Then I would truly know if I would love meeting me,
Maybe I that I will never see.
I wish I possessed atmokenesis,
then there would be no weather crisis.
I wish I were an omnilinguist,
for miscommunication is the root of problems.
Of all, I wish I were a kid,
for I feel my childhood I hardly lived.
I want to smile, dream and believe in miracles again,
hug, love, fall and get up despite all the pain.

Blogchatter is bringing out our wishes..lovely Ramya
This is such a brilliant post!
This line took my breath away:
I wish I were an omnilinguist,
for miscommunication is the root of problems.
Combined with a mind reader, because certain communications do not happen through words or language
I love how Stephanie gave special powers to the vampires. Indeed we all have a unique magic within us. It’d be wonderful if we could have these powers, ahh the wishful thinking

Hey, I was watching Twilight this afternoon and enjoyed being transported to that place among the vampires!Not that I would like to be one, but it was captivating, no doubt!
I loved your poem and most of all, loved your wish in the last stanza…of wishing you were a child once again. Oh, how I wish I could go back to my childhood, spend some more time with my mother, play some more and spend some more carefree moments before entering the adult world!
So many wishes Ramya and yes I wish I could be all of them! PS: I don’t like Twilight 😛
You know what? I always wanted to be a witch like Samantha in Bewitched. I still want to do so many things just by twitching my nose 🙂
Thanks for this wonderful post.
Steph Bachman · I do almost all of my runs solo, just because of our scheduling. However, I find that I get a lot of good thinking done on the runs. Music is good but sometime silence is better. But, my secret for a long run is an audio book. : ) That way, I don't get in step with the beat and run too fast and it distracts me a little bit from the discomfort and it give something to look forward to. I only get to listen to the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series on runs. : ) Maybe any of those things will help. Good for you for getting out there!
“I wish I were a spaceman, the fastest guy alive.
I’d fly you around the Universe, in Fireball XL-5.”
On another note, I wish I were more courageous to do things outside my comfort zone. Lovely poem Ramya.
Lovely..I can completely relate to that last part of the poem and I wrote about it too. I wish to be a child again to relive the childhood. 🙂

Hey Ramya, its a lovely poem. “atmokenesis” is something new for me. Who doesn’t want their childhood days to come back.
I wish I were a healer too… that’s a dream I really want to live 🙂
atmokenesis!! ok I had to look that up … that’s an awesome power though 🙂
Beautiful poem Ramya

Such a beautifully composed poem Ramya. The first four were some really fancy wishes and the last, a lovely one which I think we all yearn for. 🙂

I wish too I could be transported back to my childhood days. Feel the same of not having lived it completely 🙂 Words that I can truly connect with
“hug, love, fall and get up despite all the pain” – do this and you’ll start to find magic. Slowly, painfully sometimes, but it’s in the breaking and rejoining that magic is woven, I believe.

“I wish I were a telepath”. I too wish the same. I wish to be more of a legilimen. This is my first visit here but definitely not the last. You have woven magic with words and wishes. Loved it. 🙂
we always want to be child again , those days are awesome ,stress free & full of day dreaming , Love your illustrations 🙂
RAMYA the best take to the prompt I ve read thus far ! high 5 girl .. and please tell me why you think the idea of being a vampire is boring? I loved how he never slept and could jump from one tree to another and fly! better than being a human anyday other than the craving for drinking blood eww.
I wish I was a time traveler too .. and I did enjoy my childhood but I do wish I was young again , I was quite serious about life and should have taken it a little more easy …
