We parted ways
effortlessly
like two strangers
crossing the street.

A beautiful saga of love and longing,
Turns now towards its completion,
Ultimately turning into achievement,
Love gets stronger like black coffee.

A melodious voice says my name,
Not fearing the society or religion,
Demanding only love from me.

Jelling deliciously is this pudding,
Excellent is this sweet romance,
Neither shameful nor shameless,
Indians from two different religions,
Few attempt what we plan for us,
Alive for each other and our families.

Living for the good of all life on Earth,
I love her and she loves me back,
Veil of her face is an elegant blue,
Elegant are her eyes from the slit,
Deriving pleasure from my imagination.

How we must get together,
A married couple is by hard work,
People do get old and die together,
People otherwise die in loneliness,
I am so blessed in this togetherness,
Love me you do in an untouched way,
Yet I feel you by my side in my life.

Evening the odds through honesty,
Victory is definite for both of us,
Even for peace, it will be a union,
Reason will only be love, our love.

Actually, I think that we shall do it,
Fatwas will never work against us,
Threats will be there but relax,
Except the Maulvi, none will bother,
Rest of them, our love will smother.

Truthfulness in your kind young face,
Heavenly is the sight to behold,
Earnestly we must get married,
Irate letters we shall then face,
Rising higher in the heavenly eyes.

Marriage is not just a wonderful word,
Also it is a beautiful permanent bond,
Rings in our fingers will mean more,
Rings and a Mangalsootra as well,
In our dreamland, we are together,
Atypical life we shall celebrate,
Gleefully we shall see our babies,
Eternal gifts by this love story of ours.

In the land of ForSure
It doesn’t matter who you were
How late you slept, or quietly wept
Midst walking storms
No, in such a place as these and this
The only present matter is willingness
To take the words of a fellow man
To tie your shoe with gentle care
And to RUN with it
Into the glorious dawn of a brand new day
Of a new you who isn’t afraid of sunlit truth
And divine ray
I say, step a little bit closer to your future today

I see you watch me in the evening
wondering if I'm leaving
as golden light streams
through the clouds in the ceiling

With your eye on my garden
full of colours to plunder
you're staring at me
with a poisonous wonder

My alpine glen isn't your first rodeo
glaring, cradling my first magnolia
Still, I don't hold back or shrink like a mimosa
I won't pull away as you get closer

Just don't chase me - I've no flight
I'm a bird of paradise

poetic thoughts running free 'n' about,
thinking limericks, my mind's full of doubt.

spooked from behind, as then i called for my cat,
trying to convince, the innocent claws to chase out the rat.

as all he did was pout the fat 'n' lazy, stout...
