If you want
        love
              and
                   war

Get married.

I am a Romeo or a lucky one,
I have both,
A wife and a girlfriend.
My wife is my T.V.,
Stable, always there,homely,
No extra cost,
Only pay for maintenance.
Enjoy it when home,
With popcorn,hot coffee or tubs of icecream.
Even has a remote for you to control it,
But no talking,
Keep quiet and listen.
My girlfriend is my mobile,
Lovely, slim and ****.
Turns people's heads when you go out with it,
It's portable,
Take her everywhere with you,
Talk and listen,
Play with it without getting tired.
No remote to control it,
Expensive to maintain,
Pay or get disconnected.
Can be hacked or stolen easily,
Have to be careful of viruses,
Easily replaceable.

My mum was afraid of heights,
My dad was afraid of depths,
Being their by product I am afraid of both.

I went to my bank,
It was far,
The manager was sweet and helpful.
He said they had several branches in my area,
I need not walk far,
They would help.
If the Bank had branches,
Did they have leaves on them?
Money does not grow on trees and the Bank  had branches.......?

Love,don't look at my status,
Go after my heart,
It is branded.

I was barely even,
From Northern India,my mum's little one,
A child bride,
My husband's family rules I had to abide.
Godnas (tattoos) were mandatory for married women,
So several days after the wedding
done,
An elderly lady came to brand me alone,
Her tool, a needle,she would heat with fire,
Burn my skin and fill with colour pigment on and on she would not tire,
No anaesthetic  to numb the pain,
No cream to heal the skin.
I had several tattoos,
Subjugated  without any ados.
Now, my daughter is a different version,
She is a rebellion,
Refused to have the tattoos done,
I supported her and she won.

The shackles of what others think about you.

lovely summer night
went  for a long romantic drive
nice way to break up.

Healthy provides immunity against diseases,
Inexpensive,
Easily available,
Bond's child to mother,
Most of all, found in containers
which the cats can't  get.

Each breath takes me to what I had been,
To what I am meant to be,
And the mistakes I make along the way,
Are lessons to reinvent myself.
15/12/2021

inhale and exhale
every breath is a rebirth
His kindest blessings.

"What do you do for a living?"
Me:"I  work hard day and night,
         non-stop.
"What!"
Me"Breathe in and out."
10/2/2019

Inhale in the air that gives you life,
Exhale out the waste that burdens you,
In and out,
Take it slowly.
1/4/2021

Living in a house full of old aunts and uncles,
She came into my life like rain,
Drenching me with her youth and beauty,
A breath of fresh air awakening my love buds.
26/9/2021

Breathe and love as long as you live,
And you will have built a bridge over everything.

mum called us for lunch
again broccoli on plate
dog scampered away.
4/4/2019.

what have I done mate
stalker roll on from my plate
you make my tongue sad.
5/2/2021

Both the clouds and my heart
                   BROKE
To shed silver drops of tears.
One dried in the creek,
The other dried on the cheek.

When dreams are broken,
Hearts are shattered.
31/7/2020

My favourite teacup
shattered to tiny pieces
tears could not mend it.
30/3/2021

My love invited me for dinner,
The table was set romantically,
Candle lit with red roses in a vase,
Wine and barbecue chicken and chips,
She broke my heart just as I broke a chicken piece,
Said it was over,

22/5/2021

I was there when he broke your heart,
Like a savage,tore it into tiny parts,
A bit here, a bit there,
Scattered into shards everywhere.
I saw you  bleeding with sorrow,
As if there was no tomorrow.
I am sorry I could not help you heal your wounds,
For I  had not come around,
I  too, was bleeding,
In pain writhing,
He had left me too,
In pieces I am still unable to sew.

He broke my heart mercilessly,
Now, if anyone looks at me with love and care I fall apart.

crescent moon at night
dream hammock for the lovers
shall never be reached.
6/2/2020.

Lovers become best poets,
Shattered dreams,
Grief,
Painful tears that fall from the heart,
And seep into the soul,
They let it pour onto paper,
As poetry.

Chinese broken vase
a wilted rose speaks sadly
of a jilted love.
21/11/2021

Is a tight bond,
Until,
A woman or money comes between them.
24/3/2024

Nothing made sense until she came into my life,
Then colourful words fell like autumn leaves onto an empty page,
Love verses spitting out in a blaze of glory,
Setting the page aflame with a breathtaking romantic poem.
10/9/2020

When I fell in love again,
I dug a small grave in my heart,
I buried all his flaws,
I will just go wherever my love takes me.
25/7/2019

Is an excuse to fulfill responsibility.

an empty cocoon
fluttering wings nearby
beauty in our midst.
12/11/2021

stuck in a cocoon
thought my life was just over
wow! got wings to fly.
12/11/2020

My love was like a caterpillar,
Cocooned in the chrysallis of my
heart.
But, when I met your glance,
Felt the tender touch of your fingers,
Saw your eyes dilate shyly,
with sparkles in them,
The cheeky curve of your smile.
My love shed and grew into a beautiful butterfly,
Thirsty for your nectar,
My exotic flower.
14/3/2019

laundry done house cleaned
dad wants to be in good books
needs something from mum.
3/5/2019

My time has come,
I am weary and burdened with ill health,
HE has promised I would
REST IN PEACE.
15/7/2019

They are always by my side,
They never leave me,
Day and night,
Shine and Rain,
Winter to Autumn.
MY ARMS.

gathering fallen leaves
Crackling fire warms street family
chilly autumn nights

Four things are written in your destiny:
Your spouse
Your children
Yourwealth and
Death how and when.
1/2/2021

I send you a simple cake which is you my life,
Icing on the cake is our love full of different flavours.
25/8/2020

I sat at my computer,
I looked out of the window later,
I saw the moon waltzing in the dark sky,
I wondered why?
It winked and smiled,
Come, dance with me for a little while,
So twice I pressed the space bar,
Nothing happened so far.
7/2/2019.

Every drop of tear,
Every breath I inhaled,
Every beat of my heart,
Beseeched  for you to come,
Such that the clock in the hall chimed your name,
The kettle on the stove whistled,
The hoover vroomed,
The gentle breeze fluttered
The rain on the roof top tattooed,
My cat meowed,
For my sake called out your name,
But you never came.
17/4/2019

He was the hurricane,
And I was his eye.
22/8/2019

Hungry and alone,
Unmoving on a lily pad...
frog waits for the prey.

Women gain,
Men lose,
A teaspoon of ***** contains five calories.
10/2/2021

A gush of wind.....
candle spurts,
Baby gurgles.

Candle- life,
Short wick-girl,
Long wick-boy.

Light- birth
Parents delight.

Candle light-life burns on fast or slow.

Wax- melts,soft with tears and becomes hard with happiness.

Candle- puff, goes out any time,
               DEATH.




,

He is the candle,
And I the wick,
Together we defy and define darkness in our love life

Life when it is lost.
