a kiss like this
a touch like that
you pet me as though
i were a little stray cat
you keep me close
you  keep me warm
you pet me gently till i yawn

warm and cozy in your arms
i feel safe with no distress
with no sudden alarm
3 days 3 nights were one to me
as i waited impatiently
for time to bring you back

a kiss like this
a touch like that  
i miss those days we used to chat
from dusk to dawn
till i teared and yawned
you spoke love to me
and i giggled under my warm
false starry sky

i truly miss them
and with a long sigh
i started to recall those days
when we loafed along the country side
and drove great miles
and under broken tiles
made love on concrete slabs

remember those days we held hands
with shopping bags
and walked long side lanes of brands
apples and mango's and even pumas
filled our car  
we drove along the open road
to that place we could call our home
dreams
making me dreams those dreams are no joke!!
i'll bug you till you're broke =P

just playing my love
come back home to me that's enough
on a mellow eve
fall's russet and tan shades
loafed on the ground

Perched on a hill-top, I straddled that noncommittal thought
Loafed under the sun next morning, with my mind still whimpering –
“Why that battle be fought, hands down which is lost?”

To the beach I headed, deeming this would bring peace instead
The swirl of the waters, only churned out more fears –
“What do I want mended? Did I forget again, there was nothing even to be fended?”

My darling, they don’t have an inkling -
Resolute we are, even with the doors of the heart left ajar
A million recollections in the brain singing, with them all I went mingling

That night came unannounced, gently without a sound
As I looked up the vault of the skies, a million stars gazed into my eyes –
I wish I knew - the universe is a tad too profound
Forsooth, my mortal thoughts that day were left spellbound

As loafed bread progressed
from an initial opposition
to it being sliced, the idea
of promoting each portion
as a petal, ushered in a new
acceptance which could only
be attributed to the Chicago
strike where a verse of a poem
by James Oppenheim titled
" Bread and Roses " was used
by female bakery employees
who were looking for better
working conditions for all.
