The Winter Morning

As I woke up to that chilly dark, Trying to look through my window as the strays bark. My alarm screaming its horrendous tune, Filled with regrets on having to leave my bed soon.   Having fought this war countless times, To listen to my mind or body I couldn’t decide. And as the birds...

The Wish

This year for my new year wish I ask, A little more luck and a little something from the past. I want that girl who sat at my side when I drove, I want the girl whose laugh made my day whole.   Every one of those exchanged smiles from across the room, I want...

The Reunion

A collection of people I literally grew up with, And suddenly in that midst when the reality hit. Its been 7 years since I last saw this bunch, A group I used to spend time with everyday till lunch.   From sharing benches, classrooms and busses, To sharing secrets, pains and crushes. From collectively hogging...

The First Time

Your smile makes me smile, Your laugh makes me laugh. Your eyes are enchanting, You make my thoughts seem daft.   Since the day I first laid eyes on you, My feelings grew and grew. In that first conversation, my knees clicked and clacked, And those butterflies flipped and flapped.   And as I spill...

The Run

Take a thousand steps and maybe a thousand more, And ever so often you’ll want to take a thousand more. In the mornings, evenings or late at night, A therapeutic activity to test your fight.   Every step taken is a step closer to your goal, A step towards making your achievement whole. And when...

The soul twin

Gorgeous smiles with the cleanest heart, With that awesome yoga bod that sets her apart. The loveliest voice and the most contagious laugh, Hogging on greens like a healthy giraffe.  Gifted with the most talented hands and a creative mind, Patient enough to teach art to the blind. Carefully making cartoons and spreading countless smiles,...

Eternity & Beyond

I wish I could have you here with me, Hold your hand as and when I please, Hug you tight when I feel incomplete, A life without complications is all I plead, Things would be so easy indeed.   To love and care for you is all I seek, Be your go-to person at any...

The Road Trip

Seldom taking the solitary way up the road, Finding a contradictory comfort in the radio static aboard. Or grab your people and make a move, Blast some music and dance and groove.   Move at dawn before the birds start to chirp, Bring along a coffee or smoothie to slurp. Away from the concrete jungle...

The one I call Yoda

She’s not the shade of olive green, Nor three feet tall or super lean. But in many ways a teacher to whom I go, Teaching me life lessons and helping me grow.   She’ll be found gazing through a window, Or working in front of a screen. Sipping on the coffee she so happily brews,...
