COFFEE

Mmm.. what can I say

First love flashback on your way!

Fighting sleep, striving to fill the filter

As I sway, dancing on a familiar beat.

My brain still lazy and dazed

Stubborn, waiting for her morning kisses

As I grind the silky beans

The aroma.. now refreshing, reels

A little quenching, wheels.

The water hand in hand with the powder

Now vanish into the filter

She,  anticipating

Bub.. bub.. bubble.. they bloom together

Joy erupts as the steams rises!

As I stir a perfect cup

Refusing to diminish it with cream and milk

Raw.. black.. I adore

The first sip, morning kisses

My mind doesn't mind

Waving goodbye to haze

Dumping the lazy

Stated , she buzzes

This, for now I miss.

As you became my every meal

Plus snacks and desserts, with zeal.

You see, what happens when you love so

Accrues hurt more and more.

My tummy now sore

Each sip leads

To waves that cripple

The tickle, now cuts like a sickle.

Present, I enjoy you from ashore

In cakes, chocolates and creams.

At times when you overwhelm me

I indulge in you, always, of course

now, escorted with milk and cream

And then I flee.

THE JOY OF NOTHINGS.

The joy of nothing lies in the,

Launch of a drizzle

Cessation of a scorching sun

Swaying of the leaves

Chimes of the birds

Kiss of a cold breeze

Warmth of an early sun

Comfort of a book

Adventure of a math sum.

IN the,

Flowers that heal

A yummy meal

Dance and your unhinged squeal

Curves that you cleverly conceal.

In

Coffee, cream and chocolates,

Sass, stumbles and strength,

Laughter, love and life

Tears, tolerance and tides.

In YOU,

.. silently sharing my space,

..anchoring me ,in my haze

.. debating my opinions

..exhausting my petitions

elementally, you swiftly materializing for me !!

You are,

.. the infinitely expanding space

.. the tirelessly dancing waves

.. the mutating magnificent moon

You love are my everlasting joy of nothings

But, where lies your own???

Thirty Three, he

THE MOULD

CHOICE

Let's just blame it all on Time!

Let’s not claim

Your priorities change

And no longer in my interest range

You entangled in the world

And me too lazy to merge

You want to travel and explore

Me just read and snore

You move with grace

I with haste

You explore new flavors

I can’t betray biryani

Freedom you breathe

Independence I seek

You quick, Me quite

You effective, Me emotional.

As it happens now, we share

Few words

Few worldly wisdom

And gossip here and there

"Catch up ", we say!

But,

What happened?

How come this vacuum in between?

We ponder, yet we are

Too egoistic to accept

Too prideful to bend

Too much of hours gone,

Now, everything redrawn.

I believe I stopped because you did

And you believe the same!!

Surprise Surprise!

Ha, least on this we concur!

No one can ever win this argument

It’s such a grey area you observe.

Silently, rolling my eyes I mutter,

Let’s not break our heads

And just blame it all on time, love!
