Simply That

You asked me what made me fall for you ?

That is your beautiful heart and your words

“I love you more darling ! than you do “

So simple yet so intriguing to describe

On your forehead ,a cheeky tuft of hair

Your face glowing in the sun with a flare

Your lovely Buddha eyes closing in your sleep

The pearls of sweat on your skin seep

When I say I have to go darling

And I have a promise to keep

Simply That !

You cracking jokes with a laughter

Then going quiet ,soon after

And your eyes glittering with a moisture

On eggshells , the angels walk around

Quietly , without whisper or making a sound

Lest our precious dreams should broken

Would you like to know more and be guided ?

What are the gifts our souls have provided ?

The kisses are, now the sweetest

And the embraces are the warmest

Honey springs from our lips

And the nights are the loveliest

That simple ,my darling !

We have taken rebirth in this life

How fascinating is the journey and its strife

My cat ” Bubby ” is telling me how she is feeling today . I asked her ” How are you Bubby .

Obviously Bubby seems to have some complaints about life . 🤩🤩🌹👍💋❤️💜💙 . Yes one more thing . Her mother Alex has more kittens now , but she never abandoned Bubby because Bubby has fragile health , small stature like her aunt Maggie . She is still her Mama’s baby .

The Daughter of The Sun

The resilient daughter of the sun

Runs on the beach

The mountain spirit resides in her

As she passes , the ocean waves compete with one another to catch her glimpse

She hears the laughter and then the whispers of the receding water

The sand of the beach jumps to kiss her running feet

The wind rushes to cool down her burning skin

A deep content smile spreads on the corners of her lips

An impatient peony falls down from her hair on the sand

Her red blouse seems to catch a crimson fire in the setting sun

As she turns around , her white skirt clings to her waist

And almost guilty of mystifying her angelic curves

The daughter of the sun , looks far at the horizon

The setting sun applauds her mahogany hair and casts its last glances

The whole universe stands still and just wants to write her story .

The Haunted House

So, what is deemed more scary ?

This haunted house with a fairy

Or my heart torn, heavy and weary

Hello dear demons ! You are rendering this place pretty haunted

Well ,I am amused and feel even delighted

Keep your promise and be absolute real

Listen to my humble request for a deal

Do you see a lovely glow in my eyes ?

This is gift of pure love that never dies

You can borrow some light with a grace

Then brighten up your dark hiding place

You often appear as a child or a smiling woman

Don’t expect me to be any of your fan

Is it your show of power and hurt ?

Or some savages making me very alert

Now ,let me know what is haunting you in this night ?

Please ,bring this issue to day light

Know that ,I want some peace for you and us

No need to pretend ignorant or ridiculous

Are you sad , hurt or heart broken ?

We ,are children of God and never forsaken

Oh no no ,don’t pop up from that old tree

You are welcome to live here for free

Please ,sit down peacefully and let your hearts heal

Would you share your side of story and have some meal

Note . I was visiting my parents home last October . They told me that their current house is haunted . At midnight , I wrote that poem . Well, a day before I saw a bright bulb on the wall at midnight . I was thinkin who turned it on .it was not real one . It was gone in the morning . The wall was absolutely plain. I told my mom. She told me other incidents have happened as well.
