‘i love you’
to say it itself,
is trite
picture anyway,
hardly bright
years of togetherness, memories’ lane,
usual tiff, everything down the drain
phone-call, electricity-bill, welcome-mat,
a bit of this, a bit of that
ready to pick up fight
busy to set it right,
issues my foot,
devil may contrite
dogs put to shame
favorite sport, blame game!
Ah!
hasn’t life changed?
daedalean, deranged!
hazy hues, devil’s dues,
stuff like that, monsoon blues!
not actually!
in some corner of house,
once in a while
we still croon along,
as we silently smile
not that we always understand,
still,
crossing the street,
we quietly pickup the hand
finishing the argument,
as we close the gate
we hardly say much,
but ‘hug’ takes the cake
touch is quiet, silent are ways
rituals are less, worship is grace
it’s not perfect,
but it never was!
life; not the same,
but it never was!
amid all the tiff,
love still lingers!
it’s not vocal,
yet, in its fickle ways ,
musical!
It’s not a fairytale story,
yet, my friend,
everything is hunky-dory!
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe
