My heart is a storyteller, every moment..high and pale
She weaves in joy, tears and euphoria, and love’s might
A story for my every moment .. a poem .. a tiny tale..
She knows not to weave her pen..with carefree light..
She gives it her all, every heartbeat for every tale..
Her stories often weave the same plot, wrong or right..
She loves you with a love that stains the ink in every tale..
Love her back, this moment and more.. hold her tight..
The poetic heart needs you …as a ribcage to hold those tales..
Even though time and I may interrupt , Hold that heart tight..
Silence her poems with love.. That would be a tale beyond her tales.
There are so many things on sale today and everyday,
Skin serums to keep your skin smooth and supple..
Fancy high heels to make them turn and say .. Hey!
Apps for fitness .. on Android and Apple..
Dresses that swirl and twirl; Jewelry that make your day
And yet, all I want .. is not here.. I grapple..
For all I want is a hug, a kiss, some attention simple..
Love … is all I ever wanted and want.. and Yes, You! hey!
They talk of good karma, and moksha..for all of us
If you believe in Ram..or Shiva or the thousand gods
And yes, there is heaven if you believe in Allah, or Jesus
I wonder what describes the heaven we find, the gods.
We ever so unexpectedly find, amongst each of us..
In the friendships and love we share and Almost like gods..
We create the beautiful, when we love another more than ourselves..
In moments of tenderness, laughter, mirth and kindness, there is a god..
Undescribable but there ever so hidden in plain sight amongst ourselves..
I write this verse .. and a song plays on my playlist.. what if god was one of us?
When I drape a saree, A pretty one in red
And yes , those earrings..that dangle
An anklet, a necklace and a shiny bangle
A little Kajal and maybe a lipstick cherry red
I face the world.. trying to be a pretty face
And then my heart tells me, ever so kindly..
You are beautiful, my dear.. yes, ever so gently..
When he, your love, looks at your face..
You truly are beautiful..
When love looks at you face to face….
Beautiful.
