Spring 2018
In
spring time, of the year Two Thousand and Eighteen,
Into
the land of my birth I flew, another time, umpteen
Little
did I know, that this trip would be monumental,
And
that my life would change, and love would be incidental…
Caught
in the mayhem of a past mistake,
While
through heaps of guilt, I must rake,
A reckless
action, unintended consequences galore,
If
not anything, this will become our folk lore …
Countries
and Borders have never been my cup of tea,
But
in a tug of war of work, life and fortunes – I must accede,
To
comply with the norm, and reign in my defiance,
With
my destiny, accept and forge an alliance …
While
I am stuck in limbo, and waiting for a paper,
That
takes its sweet time, and limits my career,
I
must cherish all that is around me – lovely, warm and beautiful,
And
be grateful for every breath – in this life – Oh, so wonderful!
For
I have been blessed, with grandiose Love and gentle kindness,
From
my kin – my mother, my uncle, my granny and lover,
Showered
with support – both material and emotional,
I
often wonder – is this episode accidentally accidental? 😊
What
life has set forth for me, I must accept and enjoy,
Carpe
Diem, as the sun shines today,
While
I miss drizzly Seattle, and crave my prompt return,
It’s
a shame, If apathy pushes me to pass my turn …
For
actions drive change and fortune favors the brave,
And
a treasure lies deep within the murky enclave,
Those
who wait, and fight to chase their treasure,
In
their arduous journey, they must
find pleasure…
So,
what about the lover – in feline fervor, they ask
And
when I speak, in a sublime glory, I do bask,
I
have finally found someone who complements my core,
And
to my secret self-improving self, she
opens a door…
Actions
talk louder than words, and it is now time to act,
My
dear, I will not just sit back and react.
I
promise to guide us through the labyrinths of life,
And
hope to bury ourselves in a relationship divine…
For
she smiles, and transmits smiles to my form,
Like
a first mate, at sea, she helps wither the storm,
A
childlike love and an innocence benign,
An
intermingling of the minds, a romance clandestine…
A
journey that will last forever,
A
Promise that will hold together,
A pact
to respect one another,
A
responsibility – to present our best selves, to each other…
As
time passes, the cabin fever grows,
So,
I keep myself engaged and salvage my lows,
Waiting
is the hardest part,
Karma
has a strange but fair way, mysteries apart…
An
epiphany emanates, seven fathoms beneath,
A
peal of positivity shines through and drills through my sheath,
As
twilight, like a toddler, scuttles across my balcony,
I
must drink the elixir – a mix of virtue, penance, patience
and
my own agony…
It’s
all meant to be…
Maktub!
