A poem for my sweetheart

It was the January of 2012
that I first had the feeling
I had finally met the one
who had my head reeling

It felt good to know you -
at first I thought you were a flirt
For the most part you made me laugh
But at times you were curt

By February I was intrigued
By March I had a crush on you
By April I was head over heels
What was in store, I had no clue

By May, we had our first fight
The crisis in our love story
It took us time to sort it through
And some Tequila and Bloody Mary

But finally, we realized and learnt
what we should have long known
That we are meant to be together
till we have some grey hairs grown

For I want to spend the rest of my days
Till the very end, all the way
In love with you, the light of my life
Dear God, this is all I pray


For the love of my life, PD - for you :)

The dew drop

What does a dew drop remind you of?

“Pearls!”, cried the happy and gay girl
Without a care or worry in this world
“Nice and round and shiny and bright
They are so pretty - so nice and so white!”

“Perspiration, on my brother’s brow
After a day of toiling, grueling and more”
And so said the young one who had seen more care
More than his and his brother’s fair share.

Said the soldier, “A drop of muted tear
On my mother’s face, all lined with wear
As she waits to see if I come back home
Her only son, from across the foam.”

Each according to his station spoke
So many emotions does the dew drop evoke
As life parades the purity of the dew
With all our feeling, we taint the view.

The simple pleasures of life

The kind smile of a stranger

As he goes out of his way

To make your day better.

The story, of the Emperor’s new clothes

Read out by the doting brother

Amidst much laughter and giggles.

The warmth of a hug.

A cuddle

When you need it the most.

Maggi at midnight.

Chocolates, ice creams,

And more chocolates.

The doggy wagging his tail

Vigorously

Everytime he sees you.

The knowledge that someone cares

Enough to listen to you rant

All night long.

Appreciation

From someone you look up to.

Satisfaction, of a job well done.

The enthusiasm

Infectious

When you make plans to meet old friends.

Simple pleasures of life.

Some that you live for.

Some that you cant live without.

Dedicated to family, friends and certain Dutch strangers. (Not to mention Nestle, Cadbury, Lindt, Ferrero Rocher, Corner House, Naturals, et cetera)
