My imagination to me is like a balm that soothes an aching heart,
My wounded pride,
My own Messiah that saves me from the Apocalypse.
When I am tired of being a corporate slave, I surrender to my true master. When I am tired of being socially promiscuous, I return to the arms of my true love, my only beloved.
The cynic in me dies and faith is restored.
Like a clay doll that comes to life magically on a full moon night.

To the men in mentors,
And the men in menstrual cramps,
Thank you for being there in our lives.
Dear Martians, with you life is hard,
But without you, life is too easy.
We likes it 'hard'!
I loves you all!!!
Happy International Men's Days!!!Darlings...

When you are happy and you know it,
Don't clap your hands, don't snap your fingers, don't shout 'Hurrah',
When you are happy and you know it, don't show it on social media,
Show it to the person or people you care about,
Or who care about you in return.
Keep your joys and sorrows private.
Don't be an open book...

He was my friend, who laughed with me,
Who made me smile, joked with me, pulled my leg,
His beaming smile would light up my day.
You were not a foe, but with a permanent frown on your face,
And much like the others, I was repulsed
Enough to keep my distance away from you.
But time tells everything.
Every smiling face is not that of a friend,
And every foe doesn't walk with a smile on his face.
The smiles turned into frowns,
A fair-weathered friend became a terrible foe,
The serpant in the bosom, was waiting to strike.
And it's venom spread all over, sickening me.
Then, you came in, a Good Samaritan,
With an antidote called love,
That is free from those preservatives of attachments, bondage, greed, even lust.
Love that was soothing, love that was real.
Love, which lasted through all the seasons...

Come, sit beside me,
Hold me close to you.
Share my food and drink,
Watch this display of fireworks with me,
light up the night sky.
Let me watch you from the corner of my eye.
Looking at me in amusement,as my eyes go in wonder.
As the burst of colors and sparkles fill my eyes,
Let me spend this night of festivities in your arms.
As I hug you, kiss you, feel your passion inside me.
Let's celebrate falling in love,
Before we are back to our lives of darkness.
The guilt of having shared a night of unlawful carnal knowledge.
Before I realize what I held in my arms, was not a dream of mine,
But another woman's reality.
Just let me be, for this one night,
Let me be yours...

Where there is Om, there is Shri!
Where there is Shiva, there is Shakti!
Where there is the Ying, there is Yang!
Where there is the Anima, there is Animus!
Power without direction, discipline can cause great destruction!
Great power needs great discipline to build and sustain the world
You and me,
We are Om, we are Shri!
The man and woman fused in one being!
We are divine , we are absolute!
Aham Brahmasmi 🙏🙏🙏

Sometimes, love is the reason, most of us are unlucky in love.
There are too many people who love us and whom we love in return,
That stops us from loving each other.
Love is the life force that keeps a relationship alive,
It's an irony how in the name of love, another relationship must die, deprived of it.
It's strange and a sad irony...

Sometimes in life,
You meet people, talk to them, listen to their stories.
The skeptic in you never wants to believe them.
You don't want to believe this can happen to you,
Or you will be connected with some of the most strange happenings in the world, with people you are yet to meet.
Reason and intelligence are your best friends, you seek their company.
But fate throws these surprises at you, when you are least expecting them.
Surprises without any occasions,
Visit without word or warning.
Wonder what is in store for me?
Now that I have begun to know you,
What the future holds, can't be told!

I released you,
From a life of slavery, you subjected yourself to, in living with me.
Now, I release you from my heart,
That imprisons your memories.
Nothing obliges you nor me anymore,
I set you free long ago, now I free myself.
We are both free.
Birds that fly away, do return to their nests at dusk,
But caged birds, once set free,
Never return to a life of confinement.
Destiny willed us to meet,
Our foolish passion brought us closer,
Our unrelenting egos separated us,
Our unwavering nature distanced us further,
Bonds of love can never be broken,
But only be untied by us.

"Let's listen to this", he quipped excitedly.
Like a little boy who had just laid his hands on a brand new Bluetooth sound box.
She stood near the door, resting her head on the door frame.
As she watched him setup his music system, she smiled.
An old Elton John number began playing.
He twirled to face her and rose both his hands up in the air.
As he began swaying to the number, he hummed in a voice that was totally off key.
"Hold me closer..tiny dancer..."
He came closer towards her and held out his hand.
She hesitated for a moment, but then she looked into his eyes.
Eyes that were full of yearning,
He pulled her into his arms, still humming...
"Lay me in the sheets of the linen..."
She looked at him and let out a chuckle
"Come on, don't make me sing this alone, sweetheart...
She joined him in the singing...
"You have had a busy day", they chorused.
He pulled her closer and whispered in her ear, " You have a sexy voice, sing beautifully".
She blushed and buried her head in his chest.
They were 19 all over again, for that one night.
They both were not afraid to love, once again...
