Dimpled smile of a hundred megawatts
Looking at you makes me fulfilled
Ebony beauty
Thinking of you,
Always moves my heart; affectionately
Makes it skip a beat.

I am in a dilemma
Are you beautiful because I love you?
Or I love you because you’re beautiful?
But one thing is certain though,
You have my love, young woman.

My heart calls for you
My soul yearns for your presence
With you, the sky will always be blue
Massive storms fill the sky in your absence

Around you, I am human:
But just a beast when you depart
Do not stay long ma’am!
Come soon, Queen of my heart.

I want you.
I need you.
You’re the one for me.
Be the queen of my heart
And crown me as your King.

The Love Syndrome

I met a girl,
She wasn’t right for me
And she took what’s left of my humanity.
She was to be my queen,
And support me to build my dynasty.
But still, she left me;
In unfathomable misery.
She left me broken, shattered.
Body strong as ever with anger,
But my heart was slowly dying.

Far away from bliss,
And frolicking in the edges of oblivion I was;
Until I met her,
Another girl.
Now I’m alive. Vibrant.
Until this one, also, pull the plug.

Symbiosis

You know, what you and I have,
What we share between us,
What we call a relationship;
Is the weirdest symbiosis I’ve ever seen.

You’re like the yin to my yang.
The Kitara to my Aang.
I’d call you Cleopatra, but you’re way fuller.
Tender, soft and full of warmth.
Wonderfully sculpted body; thick in the right places
Just few adjectives for my dear beloved.

The maiden’s letter

Dear knight,

You have proven to be the most gay and delightful Mister I have ever set my eyes upon, a beautiful writer at that;
Any maiden would be blind to not admire a sport like you;
I am truly flattered by your words and expression of your feelings towards me;

Yet, I do not understand this great love you have for me; but I do appreciate your non-relenting persistence;

Unfortunately, I could never be the woman you desire, I could never give you babies to fill your home with laughter, I could never be the picture perfect bride you sought out for! I am the most imperfect being for you!
I know your heart was made for another, I know you deserve a damsel, a queen, the rarest of gems, the queen of all queens; rather than a simple town girl like me.

I do hope thou finds true love and believes in this thing called ‘Marriage’ again

The maiden

Poems

Letter to a lover.

I saw you for who you were;
Friendly, vulnerable but strong.
And for once, I never took advantage of your weakness.
And also, guarded your vulnerability in your absence.
Our friendship exceeds bests of friends.
And our relationship transcends societal norms.
What you and I posses is unique.
Even though I am doubting marriage.
Never for once, so I doubt my feelings for thee.

I can write about you for ages
And never will the lines grow old.
Lock up my body and heart in cages.
But never will my love for you grow mold.
Hey Dear! Would you give me babies?
So together forever, we grow!

Day 7

There’s a fulfillment when a task is completed,
But this task,
Is far from completed, my beloved!

I had a dream,
That you and I, together, as one.
Would be totally unstoppable!

Seven lines for day seven. (Exit Sophocles)

Day 6

For six months,
Six weeks,
Six days and six hours,
I’ve been patiently waiting for a verdict.
An answer to a question.
A reply to a proposal.

And for another six months I’ll wait.
Patiently.
Hoping, praying and above all, knowing;
That later or sooner,
The future will come,
And by my side, you will be.

Together forever is underrated.
But still, I want us forever together!

Day 5

Two great lessons I gathered from watching you;

Size doesn’t affect greatness.
Small in stature you are,
But still, you dwarfed everyone around you.

The second one is cliché already;
Your intelligence is reviving.
And your beauty deadly.
What a wonderful combination of super powers.

Day 4

Who’s going to take of you?
Certainly not only your family,
Hence that amazing name of yours.
Well thought out, if you ask me!

Gentle breeze soothing the harshness of the sun’s heat.
And though you’re brighter than the sun,
You radiate an aura of calmness.
Much more than the gentle breeze.

Once upon a time,
I saw you smile
And I’ve never felt comfortable.
Since then, I only want to see you smile.
Even if it’s directed at another.

I’ll stop the flow of ink here.
And I hope this flow touches you there.
You know where!

Day 3

Pink and blue exist in nature:
But you redefined the meaning of nature;
Blue gown and pink headtie.
Amazing in blue like the clear sky.

Day three of seven;
I don’t know much arithmetic
But the fraction of my heart with you is whole.
One out of one.

Pink lips.
And brown skin.
Clear skin.
And massive intellect.

It can only be you.
Yes! You.
