Like the rose you cherish:
Take care of it, you do!
Even though it loves it in the wild:
You water it!
It has blossomed and now glows
They see it but can’t understand…. how?
It’s wild after all!
And it looks at them with mischief…
They want to pluck it for its petals
But the rose it is, it has thorns
‘Don’t tamper, or you get stung’
It seems to say!
Then you come like the morning sun
And it opens up to bask
It just can’t help itself
The magic is overpowering!

Captive of Fate
You look at me and smile
My heart races miles
And I smile back
Because I’m under attack
I am scared
But you gently pat my heart
Reassuring me with your eyes:
‘It’s gonna be okay’
I touch you and shudder
And when we kiss
Everything stops
As if in a standing ovation!
I’m fighting a losing battle:
‘Why?’ I ask
‘Why not!’
My traitorous mind retorts!
‘This aint happening to me!’
‘Oh yes it is’
My lower stomach flatters
As if to confirm it!
I am a captive of fate
And I like it
If your love be the prison;
I serve a life sentence!
My heart races miles
And I smile back
Because I’m under attack
I am scared
But you gently pat my heart
Reassuring me with your eyes:
‘It’s gonna be okay’
I touch you and shudder
And when we kiss
Everything stops
As if in a standing ovation!
I’m fighting a losing battle:
‘Why?’ I ask
‘Why not!’
My traitorous mind retorts!
‘This aint happening to me!’
‘Oh yes it is’
My lower stomach flatters
As if to confirm it!
I am a captive of fate
And I like it
If your love be the prison;
I serve a life sentence!
Rumbles of My Heart
Rumbles of my Heart
It is a fine morning…well everything seems to be fine
(Through my new eyes)
The glow that emanates off me puts even the perfect of sunsets to shame
(In my new eyes)
I am lost, but for some reason don’t want to be found
Because what I feel is too incredible to wish away
I am high and it has nothing to do with intoxication
But maybe I am intoxicated…
I wake up and smile because that is all I seem to do lately
(In this new chapter of my life)
Sometimes I’m lost into it that I break into a giggle
(This chapter that is my new life!)
Your smile plays on my senses like a kaleidoscope
But even in that maze of many mirrors,
I can reach out and touch it
Bringing it to warm my heart
Don’t wanna weigh my options
(coz I’m scared)
Don’t wanna envision my life without you in it
(coz that scares me!)
You restored me to a life I had resigned from
From the life of cynicism where gold looked like charcoal
Where a genuine smile was an ugly picture of grimace;
You rekindled the light that had burned out
I look at you when you look at me
(I get weak at the knees)
You tell me you love me
(My heart explodes)
I let my heart to rumble
Because it is bubbling with the pleasure
The pleasure of being opened up like a flower in the rain:
Let my heart rumble!

Love you
I love you
It’s in the morning …
Before the birds chirrup a melodious hello
You whisper
‘Wake up!’
Even in my sleep…
I shiver to the caress
Of your whispered
‘Good morning’
I smile…
A knowing smile
To your whispered
‘Honey, wake up!’
I can see your subtle smile
As you picture my hesitancy
Willing me
To wake up
Basking in the sound of your
Deep-throated husky voice
I relish
That intimate ritual
My chest swells
Bursting with bubbles of joy
And in that single moment I realize
‘I love you,’ I whisper … to myself
