i thought i could see clearly
clearly was an overstatement
there you were
an intruder in my concealment
leading me astray
insidiously blurring my vision
yet i pursued you without hesitation
uninterested in the warnings
how could i be so careless?
you brainwashed me
fed me lies upon lies
how could i be so stupid?
you made me feel precious
somewhat valuable
i took a chance on you
you were patient with me
carving away at the wall i had built
vulnerable,
i let you see the real me
you told me you were different
i believed you
we laughed together
made memories
i felt at ease with you
you told me you loved me
i believed you
all along
i was chasing a mirage
was it all a coax?
i reminisce about the smirk on your face
seeking your port in a storm
i wasn't the only one you made feel precious
there were others
i thought you loved me?
you told me you were sorry
but the damage you did was irreparable
you finally revealed your true colours
i couldn't forgive you
and suddenly
i could see everything clearly
Love at first sight is an overstatement,
But I felt it strongly and now my heart's itching.
Don't look at me, I can feel your judgement.
But my heart, it beats a hundred thousand times faster,
And my emotions been in a roller coaster.
That's what you made me feel even before the greeting.
Now we are face to face, my friends keep me teasing.
Your arms outstretched and I grab it for a shake,
Now that's a high voltage electricity!
Help me! I will die of this proximity.
I'm an anti-romantic but you are an exception.
I am so whipped I'll follow you in any direction,
No separation even in parallel dimension!
Your gaze and your smile gives me a lot of tension,
Spare me! a little extra of your attention.

Waiting for the fed's is
Like waiting on court date
Foot steps get louder so
I begin to contemplate
Wondering how i choose
This line of profession to
Start with anyway,a mistake.
Mistake is a overstatement
At least in this point of wake
Wondering will I be apprehended
Dead or alive or does it matter
Even in the mist of this tragedy
Law enforcement officials with
Big guns with shoot now ask later
Mentally kicking in the door felt like
A quake ....
Then my alarm goes off its only ah dream
Thank goodness I'm now awake.
A really a lovely way to celebrate, the Most
Dear one’s birthday, in a high-tech mode, sure
Thanks to the modern technology in IT field
That enabled all of us to participate, joyously.
It is no ordinary persons’ birthday indeed!
But of a very unassuming and a gentle soul
Which, is the very embodiment of sincerity
And whose only concern is welfare of all.
She is very tough but I wrongly describe her
For we are yet to see a more kinder spirit
In human shape except for saintly people
She is the crest-jewel of our family legacy.
Simple to the core with absolutely no airs
Always concerned with the plight of poor
A hand that is generous to the fault, with
A heart, that abounds in care and virtue.
Such is the persona of our niece, dear to us
Not a word I write here is an overstatement
But an unpretentious outpouring of our heart
That ever beats for our niece; Aruna the dear.
.
We've been there, so we understand
when love-slain pairs
pledge endless, fearless love to which
nothing compares.
And all that brave, romantic
exaggeration
that smacks of the lovers' paranoid
delusion.
Theirs is not a nice lie, only
a misstatement.
They just can't help but gush with
much overstatement.
But they're sincere in their starry-eyed
intention,
while swept away by cloyingly sweet
emotion.
So when we hear them promise
to love each other
beyond eternity, till hell freezes
over,
let's allow them some leeway for such
hyperbole.
Their words, like ours, are touching,
but really silly!
