The only way to tackle fear is to step on it

-

How can we smile when we have something eating us inside?
We laugh in company,
We applaud others,
There is a chirpiness in our voice,
We show up for them even when we are exhausted,
We scream in pain with no tears and noise,
No one detects,
Can we blame them? Never!
It is in our loneliest moments that we reveal ourselves.

-

It is possible to bleed inside even if you are loved dearly,
coz all we want is to be seen.

-

When I didn't know how to unlove,
I wondered how to shed the remnants,
I dug deep to pick the final pieces,
It was hard, and I tried too hard,
Only to realise, that I should just let it be, and let time wave the magic wand.

-

At an age so tender, my eyes met you,
Distant at first, we slowly grew on each other,
You helped me see life so clearly, so legibly,
Days passed, and someone sleeker caught my eye,
Such joy at first, but teary-eyed later,
High maintenance and demanding,
I held on till better sense prevailed,
I ran back to you, the one who never made me cry,
And vowed to stay put -  love you, my spectacles, always & forever,
Let's be together till death do us part, and if someone obliges, even after that!

-

I loved and I lost,

I cannot seem to love again,

Each time I do, I think of all our times in between,

But I thank you for the lessons,

You save me every time from my heart breaking again,

But I wonder and ponder sometimes, whether this can be called a win.

-

He asked, I agreed,
A short encounter we made,
Not a firework in sight,
Not a countdown to recite,
We spoke of highs and blows,
We dawned on fights and follies,

We left each other smiling but the spark was somehow missing..

-

A face I see, glowing like the sun,
Folds or freckles, I see none,
The eyes twinkle,
Picture perfect,
Flawless, but vain and beaming with pride,
A face I see with no lustre,
The skin has lost its battle and clustered,
But under the creases, a smile appears,
Lighting up the eye, hers and mine too

-

Habromania

I strolled, the sun above was bright, 
The grass underneath was light,
Flowers bloomed afar,
Eyes beamed at par,
Suddenly I felt a quiver, a shudder,
I put my hand toward my face and picked up the pace,
Hoping my habromania would remain
And this escapade wouldn't be in vain

-

Tempting 

Easy on the eyes, 
Soft to the touch,
Wouldn't let her slip,
Never made her cry,
Overlooking forbidden boundaries, she eased into him, not for his love, but for his validation
