A Coffee-ful Life.....

I sit by the beach cafe, the rollercoaster

Of aqua blue waves, and the cream froth

On my cuppa of life

That pulling out sand and building sand castles

And a table top, and a girl and guy on a coffee date

Sans the restra plushness, reverting to the ocean's green

In the sand vision, two friends part

Over a cup of mochachino,

No adieu tears but only coffee bites

And memorial goodies

Hot cappucino, and a fun beach ride

There's more to coffee than the visual delight

Spilling its cold version

On to each other, a la celebratory scotch

N wine

And finally in soltitude, I sit back

And see the coffee fortune

That speaks of the magical beans

That predict and bring

A harvest of happiness

A Birthday Gift......

A scorching March dusk, a narrow street

A shaggy house, a rag-doll attire

A sweet young toddler, donning it

A la Gucci creation, and waving her hands

Like the princess with a golden chariot

The chariot which is an empty basket.....

There's happiness in the ginger-bread air

A joyful commotion in the smoky traffic

An enticing gourmet laid out with the loaf and marmalade

There's His affection in mum's tired eyes....

There's the whole world's love in the kids playing ball

Her birthday gift is the most precious, her best buddy

Who got her the loveliest tulips she'd seen in her life

By the stream that flows by in the backyard.....

For nothing more's divine than his friendship and care

And his smile more valuable than the biggest solitaire

May your special day get twice my joy

And the loveliest violets in everlasting dew.......

Guns n Roses

The prints washed away on sand, shout out memories loud

The scathes of a pitfall become the reason for rise

A loved one's hurting makes a durable soul and heart

Sometimes agony is the medicine of a bleeding life

Sometimes loving the wound eases all pain and strife

Sometimes roses are not the only romance

And what's more important is what throws out the fear

Sometimes giving brings in more gratification

Which plundering the happiness of the whole world cannot

Sometimes the scorching sun of a lifetime is the cure for a febrile existence

On the rooftop.......

Shimmering Shanghai lights

The dazzling fireworks in the sky

The glitterati of the diamond city

The folks passing by

I search for brightness

In this heavenly lit-sky

For the sky is in my line of sight

My search for the twinkling star

Ends hundreds of feet below

Yet high.....

The faded star amongst the pitch blackness

Calls me heart to heart

I wish you had more brightness

down there

However faded though I seem to you

My faintness' sparkle is more than

that of your eyes

I wish you had more love

And had the blindness that sees beyond the

lucid eyes...

Etcetra....

Running away from reality in the arms of solace

Raised a toast on a cloud of emoti(c)ons

Could relive that moment again, what luck...

Trying to text you the range of feelings I went through,

What went wrong...........

Fumbled through those buttons and fingers

Just too short of words....

The heart brimming, yet the mind completely blank

O freak....what a waste.....

Some things are best left in a sphagetti-bundle,

In a Pandora's box with the key thrown offshore

never to be opened,

Like a li'l black window, where nobody can reach the heart's depth

Like a dying bud whose petals would never see light

Coz some things are best left unspoken

And just felt in the eyes

And I simply write....

Gud nite. Tc :).
