She is awakening the boy in me

She is awakening the boy in me

Her looks, gorgeousness

Pepping me up

Her intelligence, rocking humour,

playfulness all revving me up

Energizing me to ride the crest of

The waves of love like a bull

To ride the galloping horse of senses

Like a skilled young jockey

To cross the finish line in victory

The banished boy in time

making a come back with youth

And full vigour to match her

Enthusiasm, youthful exuberance

a rejuvenation turning the clock back

Time made me a man

She made me a boy to do all that

I did in my boyish days eating ice cream

Biking, riding the horses, roaming a bull

She herself turning a sweet girl from a woman

Her love keeps me going

Overcoming the ravages of time,

Age in forceful existence

Of the boy in me awakened

Her love lives on the boy marches on!

The smiling angel

The smiling girl

Angel in high spirits

Her smile is infectious

Her smile says it all

True worth behind her persona

A bubbly character

Still girlish year after her prime

The looks don’t matter when

The person is more than looks

Look wise too she more than ok

Never had her in my poem so far

Felt I should have done it earlier

Feeling that proceeding to compose this

Right away to sing her praise

Her worthiness as a sweet friend

There being so few like her in life

She carved a niche for herself in the mind

To cherish her, value and treasure her

For the likes of her age is not a criteria

She reinvents being young at heart

Some lines need some effort and thinking

the lines her come with no effort and thinking

with clarity and style, thanks to her as a muse

inspiring the lines on her so fluent

let the smiling angel keep smiling ever!

I was cold and lonely, love lit the bonfire!

I was cold and lonely, love lit the bonfire

My sky was barren and colourless

Love formed the cotton clouds, rolled over the blue sky

My path was strewn with thorns and bushes

Love made it a bed of roses

Air was noisy and turbulent

Love made it musical

Feet moved in hesitant steps

Love made it fluent and rhythmic

Love made all the difference

You are my love

The days before you came is before love

The days after you came after are with love

You made all the difference as love

Thank you my love

Without you my life a dry desert

With you it’s lush green meadow

Your love is the magical wand

Sweeping over me, holding sway

Changing all for better my great love!

Born to live, born to love!

Honey! As man and woman

As boy and girl

We were born to live, born to love!

To share the times

To enjoy the companionship

To live is mundane, routine

To love is beautiful, a blessing

Injecting freshness into the dreary life

To be in love and be loved is just wonderful

Thanks to nature, thanks to biology!

To bond in love with freedom

Not as slaves yes but willing slaves

To love, locked in bliss and joy

Nature makes us snugly fit and feel cozy

In winter, spring, autumn and summer

Love brought us together

Born elsewhere distant from each other

Love befell us to surrender in joy

To the whims and fancies of love

To reside in the kingdom of love

Let us live in full, love in full

A whole new life and love awaits us

To last the whole journey

Love is the flower, fruit and gift of life

Let us make the most of life and love, amen!

I am a hungry boy, don't be angry darling

I am a hungry boy don’t be angry darling

I am hungry for you love

Hungry for your closeness

Hungry for your warmth and touch

Hungry to see you smile and laugh

Hungry to see you in colourful costumes

Hungry to see you adorned in Jewellery

Hungry to see you crowned in my kingdom

A gentle hunger not fiery and wild

Keeps going in the mind’s furnace

Subdued not to burn, harm you

Keeps you glowing in brilliance

Just feed me with your lasting love

Bless me with your closeness

Soothe me with your warmth and touch

Be generous, kind in your love

Don’t ever vanish from my sight

Don’t ever stay away from me

Don’t ever stop your warmth and touch

Don’t ever turn cold and heartless

This hunger is perennial keeps going

as long as the river of love flows

in all seasons, all through the life

Hunger is not a malady it is a blessing!

This is mind’s hunger, biology both

Love begets love is the dictum

This hunger also begets love as it deserves

Yes me hungry darling don’t be angry!
