I'll get there

To be around, without being called for
To not hurt, despite being flawed
To love, listen and care
To amaze, not disgrace -


It's a long way to go, I know
But I'd get there soon...
Slowly, but soon
Just bear with me. Please.

Kill

They killed a tree
And there fell a thousand debris.

Live on

Twists and turns.
Keep walking.
Will get there.
Eventually.

Bliss of writing

There's no substitute to the joy of writing
It unleashes the petite and the beast in you.
On platforms where words cannot be spoken
A paper can float in and wreak havoc!

Mad love

With yesterday - three years have moved
Of saying yet another 'Yes, I too'
You were singing for me, over Skype
And I looked away - those days I was shy.

Affairs a couple, we both had had,
Hearts were broken, those episodes were sad,
Yet like an entrepreneur risking it all
We vowed this was the last one for which we'd fall.

Romance was mellowed, we were an unusual pair
We made time during weekends for meetings which were rare.
There were no birthday bashes nor expensive wishes
The greatest indulgence then, was a ride to the beaches.

Today, I wait for you to come home tired
So I can crib about work, and that liar
We listen to how each other's day had unfolded
Then sit down for dinner and a movie you'd downloaded.

I reckon life has been lovely, hard and humble, 
We now have a home - small and simple
Has it been three years since 'yes, I too'?
For it feels I've just fallen in love with you!

Death today

Death today is noiseless.
A few FB posts is all what's left.
A wall that once saw selfies, pledges and status updates
Is now filled with miss yous, condolences and RIPs.

Friends call to pass news,

Sob a little and then move on -
To fill one's own FB wall

With more selfies, pledges and status updates.

If a few servers crash in the west,
Wonder what we'll all have left
To reminisce someone, who once shared with us

A life, a bed, or a cup of tea.

For my hubby!

When tears swell up, turning me blind
He holds me closer with his bright smile.
My trail of nightmares abruptly cease
I close my eyes, leaving his dreams to lead.
