for the seconds that drag on to minutes,
for the never-ending strikes of the clock,
for the moments that shed the tears,
for the...

The question, “are you expecting?”... expecting what, I say
A UPS parcel or perhaps a brand new sleigh, 
A sleigh is what Santa wishes for
To fly like in the old days of yore
To spend time with the naughty girls romping for hours in the hay

Two perfect feet and too perfect hands
My wish for you, ________ when the stork finally lands
As sleep becomes scarce and the crying never ends

You've got this and that, and the next thing too
Because a fantastic loving mother is...

One day so soon,it will be too late
to know ,you have changed your fate

Because all she did every day was moan
She was longing for some bling

Days getting sunny pouring with sweat
Start living life, Stop expecting death.
Its everyday routine, we read daily news.
Sipping on a cup of coffee, giving our views.

Yes the man...

Taste the tender struggle 
in the inner soul
of this abomination 
who’s yearning for passion…
and affection 
from a flame
that doesn’t scorn 
a bamboozle soul like me…

and attempt to cherish
a relationship
expecting nothing in return
but me....

My age was twenty, and I’d just been wed.
In three months I was pregnant. It had not
been planned. So what went on inside my head
to simply let it happen with no thought?

It was a different era. Even though
we were dirt poor, we did not think...

Do not be a damn fool
Helping all just like that
Please change your rule
Then, joy you can get

None bothers about you
As all are self-centered
None will offer any rescue
Mainly greed has entered

You may move a big mountain
Or cross all the seven oceans
Still may criticize your captain
Showing badly...

cigarette smoking in the ashtray beside me

she said she was coming home at 2am
it is now 4:30am and she’s...

Our First Baby

I look in the mirror, who have I become?
The woman I was, shall soon be a Mum.
My figure so round, so awkward, deprived,
But the little one inside keeps my confidence alive.

I worry so much about the mother I will be,
Would I be perfect...

Your whole life changes when you learn
Your future stops … then starts again

As your whole world’s been rearranged
By this confusing seismic change
Your insides melt, you’re racked with fear
The things you knew best seem unclear
A sudden smile, you cannot not
Your mind goes numb, your eyes fill...
