Of my marshmallow heart-
Meltingly greets yours
Where had you been?
All these aeons?
The brittle crust of
Hopelessness took a while
To soften, to crumble
When love oozed and soaked
Me up - from your eyes
In the feathertouch of your
Lashes, your fingertips
In tingling goosebumps
And tiny shudders,
My heart, finally
Learned to beat!
22 December 2009
Just a mushy gooey start to the new year :) In hope of more love to fill our lives, and keep us going through life, keeping an eye out for each other, and helping each other on our way through life :)
Also for two special girls, my daughters, Sash, and Abhi, as they celebrate their lives, with love :)
And a Happy New year to all of you! God Bless!
