View

They view us,
We view them

Don't know
What they
Think of us

Do they
Know...
What we
Think of them?

Sometimes
I think they
Are ‘Gods’
Watching us

(dedicated to birds)




















Beautiful

Some
Very
Beautiful
Faces
Are
Blessed
With
So much
Beauty
That
Long
After
We've
Seen
Them
It's
Hard
To forget
Them
They
Keep
Haunting
Us with
Their
Ethereal
Beauty ~

(dedicated to some very beautiful male and female faces I've come across in my Life while travelling and meeting people)










Who's He?

In the morning
He’s the rising
Sun of my house

In the evening,
He’s the shining
Star of my house

At night
He’s the
Glowing
Moon
Of my
House

Who’s He?

My hubby
Who always
Lights up :-)
My house










Amalgamation

I'm very
Diligent

He's very
Tolerant

This
Amalgamation
Of
Diligence
And
Tolerance
Makes our
Relationship
So very
Succulent

(dedicated to us - Me and Ratan - on our 15 years of togetherness)










More

The more I
Think of him
The more I
Love him...

He's changed
A lot to make
Me love him...





Wish

I don't
Like you
Going to
Your
Office

Wish
Our
Home
Was
Your
Office

(dedicated to my Ratan as I miss him when he's in his office)










One Word

One word
Makes you
Feel as if
Her whole
World -
Resides
In you...
When she
Lovingly
Calls you
'Ma'

(Thinking of my Kochi)










Sole

You make
My heart
Miss its
Beats ;)
Though
You are
The sole
Reason
My heart
Beats ;-)

(Theme: Paradox)










Only

Only
A poet
Can
Understand
A poet

So you
Can
Never
Understand
Me

My
Suggestion
To you is:
Why don't
You take up
Poetry..?! ;-)











Nod

Sometimes
We just nod
Our heads
In unison,
Understanding
Nothing
Just to
Make the
Other person
Think, We
Understand
Everything ;)

(Theme: Facade)






Forwards

So many
Forwards
Come to me
I think of
Forwarding
But time
Forwards
Itself so
Fast that
I end up
Discarding

(Pertaining to Emailing)








Photos


You look at your
Photos and think
You are a different
Person.

Your photos
Look back
At you,
Wondering
If you are the
Same person

(Theme: Identity)







Seduce Me

As you
Seduce me
With your
Thoughts
Words
And
Fantasies
I wonder
What is there
In my body
That makes you
Seduce me

(Theme: Seduction)










Resonate

My words
Resonate
In your
Ears
I know
Cause
There's
A world
Hidden
In your
Eyes
I show


(Theme: Revelation)









Do You?

You don't
Have
Sparkling
Eyes,
Do you?
Then why
Would he
Come to you?

You don't
Have
Beauteous
Smiles,
Do you?
Then why
Would he
Come to you?

You don't
Have a
Fair visage
Do you?
Then why
Would he
Come to you?

You don't
Have an
Hourglass
Figure,
Do you?
Then why
would he
Come to you?

You don't
Have
Ravishing
Hair,
Do you?
Then why
Would he
Come to you?

Despite
All what the
World says
About
Inner
Beauty
If you
Don’t have
Outer beauty
Nobody will
Come to you

(Theme: Beauty)











Smells

The smells
Of clothes
Are so comforting
Especially when
The persons
Wearing them
Have departed,
But their memories
Are not departing...

(Themes could be Bereavement / Nostalgia)











Life

Life
Is a
Great
Teacher

Makes us
Feel like
Mere
Preachers


(Theme: Experience)

























Yes

Yes,
You kept
Knocking
At my door
All day

But
I was too
Busy to
Let you in

Now that
I'm feeling
Tired and
Sleepy,
You can
Quietly
Sneak in

(Addressed to Poesy)

Usually throughout the day, I keep thinking that I should write :-) But I'm so busy with all and sundry that I don't get much time to write; so at the end of the day, in the dead of the night, my poems come to me and if I have the energy, I do write :-)
