Love you

I hold your hands,

feel your warmth and

long for your smile.

You turn away and remain

unusually silent for a while.

I caress your forehead

and kiss your cheek.

You refuse to come

out of your world,

making me feel meek.

I try again to prove

that my love is true.

Still, you ignore me,

suck your thumb

and say gaa gaa goo goo

P.S. Dedicated to a two year old nephew of mine

Combat

I watch you 

breaching silently

into our territory.

Annoyed, I over whelm

with relentless fury.

You defile the 

pathway into my 

prodigious kingdom.

I devise a plan

of attack at random.

My allies inside 

appreciate the 

startling wisdom

You are to be defeated 

at once for I am against

appease

and my allies will

now storm out in the

form of a SNEEZE

I --> air trying to get inside the nostrils

You --> dust in nostrils 

N.B. When particles of dust irritate the nasal mucosa they are thrown away by convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs. 

Memory lost

I stand behind a pretty

mother preaching her son of

the right and wrong.

A lose hair from her 

careless bun takes

my rimless glasses along

In an attempt to avoid

the free fall of my 

ever reliable ally,

I place my shoe on her 

naked foot.Unintentionally.

She lets out a cry.

Flattened spheres of gray 

plastic on my ears confine my 

audibility.Confused, I smile.

It is such a pleasure to

"people watch" in the 

peak hour rush.

But then a sense of

untold fear creeps and 

I stand hushed.

Left the purse back

home and here comes the

collector. Time to blush.
