Of Cigarettes and Small Town Boys

You light a black cigarette

Everyday at sunset

Bare-bodied, 

In your small apartment balcony.                                    

P.C: Pinterest


Puff after puff,

Wandering off

Into your own thoughts.

Are you plotting against your ex?

Or planning your next tinder date?


I give a constant glare,

Probing,

What is really cooking in that wicked

Mind of yours?

Instead,

I should just bump into you across the street

And start breathing the same toxic air.

At least it won't kill me 

As much as Love did :)

Last time I danced in the rain

Carefree and happy

No worries or feeling crappy

No duties to fulfill

Like the world came to a standstill

This was the last time I danced in the rain.


The raindrops felt like precious jewels

As wind blasted through my hair

My hands went up in the air

As I matched my steps to the spatter sounds.


Why does rain feel like an obstacle, now?

Like its hindering my routine

And making me feel gloomy.

I want to caress rain again

Sip my coffee and get cozy

With my book.

While it pours, I want to

Feel the new embrace.

That's how I want to dance, 

Every time it rains from now on.


I want to remember how carefree I feel

Every time I dance in the rain.

The Feeling of Fall

I love the sound of leaves crunching under my feet,

The crisp air in the morning, 

The smell of pumpkin spice in the air.  

It all feels like home to me.

I like to  call it a fresh start,


Or maybe even a chance to make things right.


It's the  time to reflect on the past.


Be grateful and look towards a sunnier tomorrow.

                                                            

                        


The seasons turn.


A gift from nature deemed so rare, 


This is the time to love, to dream, and to share. 


The old gives way  and the new takes hold, 


In stories that are, yet to be told.

Favorite Furniture

O’ My trusted friend, dear couch!

Your soft cushions always give me a comfy

embrace,

You're the best piece of furniture there could be, 

A place where I can truly relax.


Whether I'm reading a book,

Watching a series,

Taking a nap or just cuddling with my loved one,

You have gracefully been there for me,

Sometimes even providing a safe haven to

disappear.




You've seen me through thick and thin, 

My tears, my joys, my fears,

Yet you never judge.

So thank you, for being my constant,

Right from the start

Until the very end.

That Look.


That look you gave

Makes me inquisitive 

Was I attractive to you

Or was it a blank stare.


Was the vibe real?

Or is it only in my head?

I agree overthinking is my superpower 

But there is no denying

The glimpse of your peek,

Felt self assuring.


Do you get thoughts in your head too?

That it could have been our little thing

Not to defy anyone, 

Just to enjoy the embrace,

Experience the warmth it would bring

And live with the happy memory forever!
