DayDreams #D, #AtoZChallenge


A warm wave in the cold dark sea
With undercurrents of bold heat
You have transformed my storm
Into a vibrant hued happy rainbow

A promise of sunshine and warmth 
Of blue skies,fair weather and love
You have unfurled my drooping sails
To steer me towards the horizon

A new course with promise of adventure
My vessel rises and falls with the waves
And you have roused in my barren heart
A daydream lasting for a whole lifetime 





The poem above is for my dear husband. He is the most important relationship in my life. He is someone who holds my ship steady and life in balance, someone who gave me so much love and care that I forgot all my troubles and who made me discover that life is not just struggle and strife. He is calm and a content man who has his head in the right place, a perfect foil for a volatile me.
Sometimes all the pain in your life is wiped off with a single loving kiss. I love you Navin for being my panacea.

When You Leave

When you leave
I lie down where you
Had slept and the creases
Caress my worn out mind
Soothing my aching body

When you leave
I wrap my hands around
Lonely curves dreaming
Hoping for one more night
Filled with whispered nothings

As soon as you leave
I start circling the weekends
In my mind's calendar
Awaiting your return
To make me full again

Just Yet




Let's curl up on the sofa
Hook our arms together
My head on your shoulder
Eyes half closed half open
Let the kettle boil and sing
I don't want to stir just yet


Let's sit in the balcony
Count the stars in the sky
Wine glasses in our hands
Half empty and half full
Let the breeze kiss our lips
I don't want to sleep just yet

Let's sleep on this morning,
My body cocooned in yours 
Our feet together toes touching
Your breath on my face and hair
Dreams dreamt and undreamt
I don't want to wake up just yet

Love Is?

Its a verb they say
Its defunct I say, so
How can it denote action

It gives life they say
Its meaningless I say, so
How can it provide succour

Its nothing but a word
A word that maddens the world
A thing that destroys the self

On this day of love
I give up on the word, and 
I renounce the Idea

its a concept as unworthy
As the people who profess love
and don't value the being of another.
