Hundredth

Her brows are sweaty and she is licking her lips. She looks nervous I can sense it. She moves her hand in her hair and then slowly brings it down to her neck and adjusts her necklace. I ogle at her long slender neck with defined bones. I can’t take my eyes from it. I am in love again. Yes she is it. She will be my hundredth. How can I not take her? How do I let her go?

 I was tempted to cross the road, grab her in my arms, touch her soft face, slowly caress her neck and then break it, twist it, choke her till she stops breathing. Just the thought of that neck slowly dying in my hand is giving me a high that no drugs have ever given me. I start crossing the road, whistling to myself. I still can’t believe my luck of finding her alone in this deserted lane.

Suddenly a car stops in front of her and she hops in it too quickly. Even before I could blink the car starts moving.

I thought of running after it but then stop and smile. This has become more fun now. It was far too easy like this. There is no bigger rush than the chase of the prey. I write down the number of the car in my mobile and whistle loudly again.

“I hope you enjoy your last night sweetheart. I know I will”

Being Me


"Being me is being crazy in love with life"


"Tiny steps
Little dreams
Being me
Is being a teen
Forever

Kodak moments
Shouts and hurrays
Being me
Is being lost in a holiday
Forever"

AtoZ Challenge Theme Reveal

My first year at AtoZ Challenge and I am not jittery or nervous yet. I don’t know why? But I am sure I will sail through it. I can see many raising their eyebrows and thinking she has no idea what she has gotten herself into. It’s true I have no idea. May be that’s why I am not nervous, maybe that’s why I am so eagerly looking forward to it.

Initially I thought of going ahead without a theme. It somehow seemed easier but soon I realised I want to streamline my thought process. I want to define what I want to write because I have a tendency of going random and wild, writing random and long. So it will always be better to create a boundary for my ever wandering heart and pen.

Now came the question of how do I define my creativity? How do I limit the pen?

Answer was actually quite easy. There are a few things I am persistent and consistent about. I chose two things that I love a lot. Poetry more specifically “Haiku” and my kids. I wanted to write something which included both. After a lot of thinking through, I have narrowed it down to the following: (Drum Rolls please)

“A day in my life”
Each day, every day in my life right now is full of surprises and excitement. There are so many words always flowing in the air and floating in my head. What is better than giving a small peek of my life?
And what is better than a Haiku, an art form that restricts and still sets you free and wild?

“Laughter, tears
Never-ending wilderness
A day in my life”

A Haiku dedicated to my theme :). I hope I do justice to the form and remain committed to it for the whole month.

Girl From Small Town

A girl from small town
A poet, a joker, a nosey clown
Runs around and laughs out loud
For she is thankful for the beautiful day

The blooming colors
The entwined garlands
The warmth and the chill in the air
Makes it a perfect day
A day she longs to remember
Through the year
A day she hopes will last
Through the year
A day she was born on
A day she wishes to live in
Forever
A day which is red, green and blue,
A day which is yellow, orange and brown
It is her birthday
Birthday of a girl from small town

No big parties,
No big gifts
She hopes for just
Small little bliss
Her friends,
Her family,
Her town
Around her
With her
Her world wrapped
In her world

Cheerful with smiles galore
Singing loudly
Rocking the floor
On her birthday
On my birthday

What more could I ask for
Small little moments of joy
On my birthday
For I am a just a girl
From a small town

What Makes Our Home?

What makes our home...ours?
Our house, the furniture,
The new cutlery or the picture frame
The matching curtain or the uncanny rug
What makes our home..ours?

The games, the fights,
Rock, paper, scissor OR hide and seek
The pile of clothes and the showing of teeth
The laughs the tears
The stories the fears
The collectibles, the memories,
What makes our home...ours?

The handprints on the wall
Or the imprints on our heart
The nicely stacked book case
Or the storybook hiding behind the vase

The tip toe of tiny feet in the afternoon
The shoo the shaa of little voices
Hiding behind the cabinet
Lost in wonderland
Refusing to sleep

The stories, the tickles
The tantrums and the giggles
What makes our home...ours?

Our hands held below the table
The footsie or the remote fight
The stolen hug, the caress,
Goodbyes and welcomes
The late night drives
Or our impromptu  jives
The cold of the night
Or the warmth of the heart
What makes our home...ours



It is you, it is me,
It is us
We are our home
We are our world
Our home is ours because we are together
Seasons will change
Regions will change
Colors will fade
Black will become grey
Grey will become invisible
But hearts bonded for life
Destinies linked for life
This all will remain our miracle
We will remain us

We will make our home..ours forever
