Ms Cookie Poem
It all started when you stepped into the world
With closed fists.
I followed you since then,
Waiting for you to recognise your needs-nay , your greed.
My empty belly wanted to satiate its hunger,
And so I stepped into the comforts of your mind,
Detemined to engulf you in arms of mine.
Sorry, I forgot to tell you my name-
With utmost care I have been tamed,
I have synonyms- worldy desire , consumerism-
I am, your beloved, materialism.
I am there even when your shadow goes
cocky that we will remain in conjunction,
Unless the truth of your life
brings us to the road of separation.
I live in you, I live as you.
I flourish in you, I breathe as you.
I bring you pleasure, but later your doom.
I stay with you, even if it disgraces you.
Do not loathe me beloved, I am your friend.
If you do, my accomplices envy and pride
will drag you to my toe.
Now, don't you cry my friend,
'cos materialism has no end.

Ms Cookie Poem
I recollect the day I chose
to step into this world-
A world so cruel and ruthless,
Where even the light wanted to make me blind.
I was welcomed by faces unknown and weird
Helpless I was, there was nothing to do ,
so I cried, cried and cried..
Suddenly, I felt an arm approaching-
Worried and afraid, louder I wailed
That was when I heard a gentle voice , showering words so composed,
Enough it was to pacify my soul.
Then a realisation sprung to mind
on the touch , as soft as fleece
Comforted I was, on being assured to be
with the angel who was sent for me by Lord.
It was none other than you, Ma!
Lost in ecstasy of discovery , I was interrupted by your murmuring to me-
That moment, so joyful it was!
Your admiration for my cheeks chubby, nose buttony
And my being doe-eyed
All that still echoes in the core.
So many years on and still counting,
There is a lot more to mesmerise.
I will always love you more than you care for me,
Oh Ma! You and I will always be together...
