The moon swallows the sun,
And for a second,
Everything becomes that much darker.
Nothing moves. Silence looks around,
Confused, looking for a sound.

Her lips touch mine,
And the world stops.
I felt my breath leave my body.
I felt her body through her lips.
My throat the only thing that stops.
My heart spilling over into her mouth.

The silence around leans closer,
Looking for a sound. Any smack,
Any slurp we could give to feed
Its hunger.
We kissed like everything in us
Filled the gaps between the stars.
When it was over,
Only a handful of people could tell you
What an eclipse looks like

You speak but not with words

Your mouth says little
But your eyes say much
Your eyes they tell me secrets
whispering the "I love you"
your too afraid to say
Asking if I could really be yours.
Your eyes say they want me
Long for me
Need me.

What you don't know is that
You speak just not with words.

I wonder if you can hear
songbirds playing in mine
or the butterflies that explode
when I look in your eyes.
Do my eyes speak to you?
Do they tell you my secrets?
Do they whisper the things I'm too afraid to say?

What you don't know is that
I speak just not with words.

I finger my gift

for her, it's almost as if --


she gave it to me.

Something is coming

and it's making me restless --


It's a spring feeling.
Song "It might as well be spring" (1945, Oscar Hammerstein II, music Richard Rodgers, for the film "State Fair"), sung in 1955 by Sarah Vaughan, in 1958 by Nina Simone (album "The Amazing Nina Simone") and in 1961 by Frank Sinatra

A feeling that I tried to escape lately,
With the surroundings going slowly.
My heart falls in love like crazy,
When I see you smile brightly.

"Just really wanna be your own love."
That lyrics was dedicated to you,
But you look at me I know you feel so true.

I've come to find the one for me,
But I didn't realize the 'one' was just right beside me.
Stop smiling cause it shows your dimples,
Cause it feels like you get me so simple.

Was I in your song list?
Cause you listen to me like I was a gift.

Were you the narrator of my life?
You get me so high just like the light.
Despite all of this,
You gave me the hope to be like 'this.'

Just smile to me and I'll be alright,
But you're so far and that makes me so fright.
Just one more night and I'll be like a kite,
Cause when I'm with you I am find.

First love eyes and teeth
Nothing bad about sorry
When it’s all too late

Ready am I, to make sacrifices for true love
For as long as I live
Spend less money, I can
Reduce my screen time, I can
Travel less, I can
Eat less sweet items, I can
Sleep less, maybe I can
Write less, maybe I can
However, there are certain things
On which I cannot compromise
Because I hate breaking promises
For me, is keeping my word everything!
For example, never can I change my character
After all, my principles are my anchors
Change my world views, I cannot
Show less love or affection, I cannot
Give up meat, I cannot
Stop travelling by train, I cannot
Compromise on my relationships with family or friends, I cannot
Irrespective of the gender
Because they are my bread and butter!!

Ready am I, to make sacrifices for true love
A lot, am I ready to give
My precious time, yes
My precious money, yes
My precious energy, yes
More confident, can I be
More assertive, can I be
More courageous, can I be
Smarter, can I be
Fitter, can I be
Humbler, can I be
More forgiving, can I be
Less hot-headed, can I be
Less stubborn, can I be
Less insecure, can I be
Less shy, can I be
However, the most important thing is to strike a balance
Find that middle path
Avoid extremes as far as possible
And last but not the least
It needs to be worth it!!
Poem on how much am I ready to sacrifice, in the event of falling in love.
