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.

Consonance

I open you and
pick one of the
several seeds inside.
First one rolls.
I bethink of a bygone
memory brushed aside.

By the time the
flavor of the second
fills my heart.
I behold the image
beloved friend
now miles apart.

Midway through the
third, I realize that
my cheeks are drenched.
Wiping away the damp
salinity, I stand.
My heart wrenched.

Exhausted with the
gush of fervor and remorse,
a sequel of your rhythmic course,
I close you with a sigh.
.
.
My Pod and I.



Golly am amazed at Apple's naming skills ;)

Genesis

Beside you
stood the tomb
painted pearl white,
concealing the
reddish thromb.

I pine for your
ever credible
resurrection.

But you still
appear dormant.
A rejection.

Days pass and you
eventually emerge,
placid and aplomb.

Only a tooth!

Wisdom
still buried deep
inside the catacomb.

Apathy

"Thats it we'll break
up." My mobile beeps
with your message.
I wonder if it were
the beginning of agony
or the end of a rage.

My fingers are numb.
I turn insensitive from
my wrist to thumb.
Still,
"Oh yeah am glad !"
I snap you mum.

Blood travelling through
the seemingly green
veins, I still see.
Not wasting a minute
I grab the remote
and turn off the AC.

Bizzare betrayal


"Not again !", I
hear you screaming.
Still I neglect. My
attitude beaming.

I feel his intense
chill filling my ever
longing lips
He melts in my
warmth and the
pleasure I would 
never skip.

"Enough of it !" I 
hear you whine,
"I will be punished
For no fault of
mine".

My love is blind.
But now I repent in dismay.
I have sinned again for
its you I have betrayed.

"I swear you, my NOSE,
I will recover from the
addiction towards him,
the ICE CREAM, for he
is the cause of your grim"

P.S. My nose suffers from a block every time I eat ice cream :(
