Marriages are made in Heaven

Marriages are made in Heaven,
one plus one is not eleven!
Love him truly and forever,
that is often said by oh so Clever...
A young woman who falls off her feet
the auspicious day she will meet
Mr Right maybe in a mall Or
near the chakki shop before night fall.

Then she will gladly give it a fight,
being together they will prove it right,
That their choice was the best of all
Even a decade later the foundation was strong
Of their union which others deemed all wrong.

They are happy, they are free
Of the aunties that said "I told you Ji"
Ok, when they fight or when things go askew,
They can only blame themselves for a decision they knew..
Would not necessarily make everyone happy
& would not be embraced joyfully.

What would their lives be had they chosen,
The photograph on the dresser table
Of a partner right in measure,
Potentially portrayed as a life full of pleasure.

Satya's 20th Birthday

 Twenty years ago,

I awoke this day
To be blessed with a beautiful gift
God sent my way

The gift I received was Precious  and True,
She came into the world
With eyes shining blue

I wondered how I had managed such a masterpiece,
I held you with love..
Scared to hurt you with a squeeze

All the years have gone on by
So fast
I cannot fathom, whether they were this lifetime
Or the last

The mother in me was born that day,
Wonder of wonders ..
Thank Heavens for this day
In that month of May

You have become you
And grown and still
Are on your way
To discover and conquer and
Thrill

I wish you the Best,
My heart really swells
Your mother is proud
Of your doings, your thinkings and your tells

2nd May 2024
Yours,
Maman 

 Lover's soup 

Your presence in my life 

is like salt in a soup,

The soup is what's my life

The taste that comes from the added salt 

is maturing into our love's prize.

Your smile when I meet your eyes,

is what creates a magical map 

that links our souls, our quests , our goals

The joy ensued is our daily juicy sap 

Women's day

Cheers to Life,
That has given me so much
I don't need a day to
celebrate as such

Cheers to opportunities
that keep coming my way
It doesn't matter
which minute, which hour, which day

Cheers to the stars Under
which I was born,
No need to fight
and try to win any crown

Cheers to the men
who are in my life
My Father, my brothers, my boss, my love
I'm treated well by all,
No need for strife

Cheers to the world
that rises through my eyes
The sun is Glorious
the stars bring respite

Cheers to the day
That will cease in existence,
When all women of the world
Will stop having to live their lives
in resistance

Ideal middle aged love

You make my life so simple,

So joyful and full of ease

Being with you has been a walk 

Through a valley of wildflowers, butterflies and breeze

Your aura is so shining...

I am dazzled by your charms 

When you look at me with love 

and smile 

Nothing in this world can take 

me from you and your arms

You're a man simply in love

and I meet you and agree...

Life was what it was in our past 

But the now and the future I 

desire with you in glee

A poem for a beautiful day

Be happy my friend,
My heart tells me to sing,
Be happy and joyful
As our learning begins,

Today is a new day
Which has been added to your  kitty 
Today in itself is bigger than eternity

When each second counts 
And each minute spins 
With a mind that engages 
To every person and thing 

The day will be so much 
While being so less 
Time will slip by 
But your reality will progress 

Be aware of all that you have 
And all that you think
You are the maker of 
Your little sweet nothings 

Hold what you love
And be held in their embrace 
And while you do that 
Smile, as your presence  in the world 
Is God’s shining Grace

Walking and talking

Like a silent doe,
On a winter's dawn
In a quaint forest,
principally Brown

Come walk with me,
My dear friend
and admire Nature's Gown

We shall walk a bit,
We shall talk a bit
and gossip on the trails of fall

We shall laugh a bit,
and shiver a bit
In case the temperature might stall

At the end of the road,
We shall replenish and hunt
Our Hunger, Our thirst, Our Cold

Our spirits will get a sureshot lift,
Our meeting will feel like Gold
