Those little wrongs make everything right

Image
By

How many times I fight with you?
O' with years I lost track
From the first fight in college
I caught you taking a drag
Then over your pesky habits
Like, leaving wet towel on the sheet
Talking loud on the phone
Or messing coffee table decor with your feet
It irks me, I get angry too
You never learn the proper way
Don't drive fast in the alley
Or wear too much grey
I can go on and on
The list will run a mile long
Nitpicks-nagging-nonsense
For all the things that you do wrong
My frail body gets tired
Weekends drain the last bit out of me
I long for a carefree day
When I can be truly free
But when you go away for days
I awfully miss our senseless fights
No matter how much I crib
Those little wrongs you do make everything right

    I was smiling half the way cause somehow I had the sense that you are going to end the poem with a love for such habits, although irritating :)

    Ah! The sweet sour joys of a relationship. Loved the way you built up as if she was about to break down but is tied in strings of love that are bound to last long :)

Being Human

By
Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

By
Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

By
 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
