Bondage



Slowly - so slowly -
I eased my foot into
that footprint
etched in my
mind:
long ago.



A footprint with
no feet to match;
till you strode into
my life.

The imprint fit.
You weren't an ideal
crystallized.

You were a lifestyle
that suited.
Admirably.



A way of life moulded.
I feel secure.

  2. Am groping for words again! At the rate which you are going, I'd soon have to buy a big fat dictionary! :) Mind blowing. :) I have just one prayer to God. In my next birth, give me just one percent of her talent, that should be enough for me. :)

  3. Is it any wonder that your dreams came true?:)
    all these words and so many others that I have been reading for so long....they must have had some power ....:)
    a magic that made...makes wishes come true....:)

    ''You weren't an ideal
    crystallized.

    You were a lifestyle
    that suited.
    Admirably.''
    That is love and that is being me.....yet a part of the other...:)but without losing anything of myself...

    Loved these lines...)
    Evrytime there is a new glimpse,a new lesson....a new dream too for those who havent seen it yet...:)
