Oh the way you sneezed

The way you sneezed. Tremors cud be felt across the streets. Startled me good, in my sleep. Even d neighbours, from their beds leaped. If you have a bad bladder, it might just have leaked. Blew away everything from cycle to jeep. It was a mighty thunder, not a polite beep. Rung my eardrums, pierced my soul so deep. In embarassment i know you want to just weep. But gotta hand it to you, ohh baby the way you sneeze.....

A part of her

Fresh from the rush of love, she was glowing. He offered her his towel to wipe the sweat off her face. He said, he would preserve the towel as it is, a part of her to keep with him, till the time came when he could see her next....

Why Oh Why did you suffer

There is a reason you suffered so. The pain imparted wisdom. A premature maturity. A rare insight and a chance for going even more deeper into the zone of limitless compassion and empathy. It made you think that what you would have otherwise remained blissfully oblivious too. It brought you at the crossroads of revenge versus forgiveness and the path that you chose shaped your destiny, your personality. It is that you suffered and grew so that others would not have to go through the painful experience to learn their lessons. If you don't share your leanings to empower, inform and protect others then that wisdom is a waste.

Eyes eyes baby!

Why wont you look into my eyes my dear? He asked as she incessantly kissed his feet. Because, she finally said, still looking at his feet - my obedient lips can stay sealed but my eyes will betray me. They will reveal to you what and how much i feel for you....
