Seven Poems - Day Seven of Seven

Black and pink

Green and blue,

Tiny little flags

Shiny and new.

Peeping out

So darn cute!

Dazzling away

Pew! Pew! Pew!

For being away

This is in lieu,

Unseen by all

Except for you!

Seven Poems - Day Six of Seven

Poetry’s not a distant star

You’ll catch what all I’m feeling

So I’ll plod on

And write this song

You’re sure to grasp its meaning

The first among these many days

Was frankly very strange

You turned around

Then sweat your crown

I thought you were deranged

But soon in time I came to see

The wonder in your stare

You listen well

Grin as I yell

My silly beary bear

The only unsmooth kink right now

Is effing distance, ew!

Quite high in price

Does this suffice?

My brimming, living love for you?

Seven Poems - Day Five of Seven

I won’t say that I didn’t

Think of you

I’ll also not say that I did

But it was said

I glassy-eyed

And the glass blushed too.

As the world whirled

You sat there

And I here

It’ll come soon, I promise

The glass blushed too.

Seven Poems - Day Four

A spoilt little big one

Hidden in a nook

Wrapped in a blanket

Look how he shook!

Green tea, gray tea

A pot of soup

Nighty night bear

I love you too!

Seven Poems - Day Three

Another’s arms are a good place

To start

To know

There are none better

Whether to dance

Or to embrace

Or run up and tip over

There are none better

That one time I missed a turn

Forgot to stop, went on

You, oh jumpy, jaunty you

Flooded with a smile.

Turn, turn, turn I did

Every single time

Adding a moment. Who knew?

You made goodbye a smile!

Even the white of her dress

Could not conceal

Her nakedness.

It went from

“Why don’t you speak?”

To “I love how you talk”.

The day she said she loves him too.

Sitting Alone, Thinking About Companionship!

My friends have always complained that I think too much. It can't be helped, thoughts consume me! When I'm not introspecting, I'm wondering about other people, their behaviour, what motivates them to act the way they do...

Is that why I've always been comfortable being alone? I have never felt lonely. To me, solitude equals solace.

In the past few weeks, however, my thoughts have largely hovered around companionship. I'll squarely blame my friends for this! All of a sudden, they seem to be marrying or at least getting engaged. Now how is that supposed to make a single girl feel?

Like a pendulum, I fluctuate.

While I feel relieved for still having many years ahead of me that are mine, I also crave someone who I can chew off in times of need. (Statement open to all forms of interpretation!).

But, it's only natural. Remember how as kids we were taught that human beings are "social animals"? We just aren't meant to live alone. Unlike tigers, who only mingle with their kind in the mating season, humans find it absolutely comforting to be surrounded by loving, caring friends and family. Now, I do have all of that, but the I need more; and I'm pretty sure when I do have more, I'll wish for something else!

Help!
