Two

Two
Precious
Hearts
Walking
On the
Road...

My daughter
And her
Father :)
Walking...
On the road


(Wrote this today after seeing my husband taking my daughter to School. My son's school opens tomorrow. Last week they were having their 1/2 term holidays.)





My Son

My son
Talks like
An adult
Now

Listening
To his
Sermons
I've become
A child now

LOL :D


(thinking of all the talking that my adolescent son does)






Esho

Esho
Aador
Koredi
Esho


Saying thus
He gave me
Such a long
Loving massage

The Vibes
Lasted me
All thru the
Week
And I kept
Blessing him
All thru the
Week for
Having
Given me
Such a long
Loving massage

I look forward
To his aador
Every week
Through his
Long, loving
Massage...


(dedicated to my hubby's weekly massages)

Esho means Come
Aador means Love






Dawn

Just as
Every
Dawn
Shows a
New day

Every day
I feel love for you
In a new way


(Theme: Renewal)





World

I feel like
Running
Away
From
This
World
To
My world,
Where I can
Happily lose
Myself into
Your world


(Theme: Love)





Stifling

What is that
Stifling thing
Clinging to my
Chest?

No,
It's not a
Chesty
Cough

It's the
Bra
That
Stifles
My
Breast


I've never liked Bras. They are so constricting and don't make me feel relaxed and free. I always thought they are meant to give shape to women's bosoms and so even if women felt stifled, suffocated or compressed by tight, close-fitting bras, they would still wear it to maintain the shape of their precious bosoms. Now I know it is all a Myth as New Research has shown that Bras in fact, weaken the muscles, ligaments and tendons supporting the breasts, reduce the amount of blood flow volume to their tissues, hence making them sag early in life though other factors such as breast-feeding, obesity and aging can also lead to sagging. Bras can also block lymph nodes, and if lymphatic drainage remains obstructed due to prolonged periods of wearing bras, toxic chemicals can get trapped in the breast, thereby causing cancer. Bras have now been labelled as a 'false necessity'. Going braless fosters healthy blood circulation and reduces the symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease.

Here is one of the many research findings I've been studying on the Net.

Strong Scents

Strong Scents
Give me
Headaches

So if you
Want to
Keep me
Away ;-)
Use
Strong
Scents
And I'll
Stay
Away ;-)

I abhor
Using
Perfumes
Except
When I
Go out
Lest my
Natural
Real
Body
Scents
Give
Others
Spurious
Headaches


(Theme: Humour)





He Says 

He says
I don't
Talk much

After all the
Talking
I do thru my
Writing

What is there
Left to say...?

Not much ;-)


(Theme: Grudge)





Reborn

Won't you
Be reborn?

I miss you,
And I'm sure
Many of us do,
And I'm specially
Waiting for the
Speciality in You



(dedicated to Kishore Kumar as I miss his voice and wish many of today's songs could have been sung by him. There is 1 old song which I really wish he had sung. Mone Pore Ruby Rai - it's got good lyrics, good music and R.D. Burman has sung it well but I'm sure Kishore would have rendered it better...)





Simply

He's macho
He's good-looking
He's got charisma

So...?? Should I
Be falling for him?

No,
He may be
Having
Many
Endearing
Qualities
But
He's
Simply
Not
Him.


(Theme: Devotion)





Relaxing

Relaxing
With my hands
On his chest
In some
Blissful
Moments
Of rest,
I think of
All the men
I've met,
And realise
That he's
Better
Than the
Best :-)






Listens

Every week
He listens
Intently
To his
Daughter's
Voice
Fearing that
He would
Miss her
If he doesn't
Live to see
The following
Week


(thinking of aged fathers living away from their daughters)





Long

He has a
Long
Driveway

Longer
Than
Ours

Yet he
Keeps
His car
On the
Road,
For he
Finds it
Hard to
Reverse

'Cause
For him
Old Age
Will never
Reverse






Terms

He said
He's always
Lived life
On his
Own terms

Now
With
His
Failing
Health
He's
Trying
To come
To terms


(Theme: Compromise)





Aging

When the
Youngest
Of your
Aunts
Gets Old

You know
It is time
For you
To grow
Old


(Theme: Relations)





Time Flies

His father
Died when
He was just
One year old

Son of a
Single
Mother

Now
He's
A doting
Grandfather

Time Flies...


(Theme: Life)





Walk

With a
Walking
Stick
And a
Stooping
Posture,
The Widow
Goes for a
Walk on her
Own,
Wondering
Where is her
Husband
Who had
Always
Regarded her
As his own...

Why did Death
Make him disown?



(pertaining to thoughts after death, written after seeing our bereaved neighbour)
