Love - A necessity

Everyone deserves a person

that makes them want to write poems 

about the way they feel 

despite illiteracy.

Everyone deserves a person 

that makes them want to sing to the heavens

about their wonderful voice 

as tone deaf as they may be.

Everyone deserves a person 

that makes them want to fill canvases

with the colors of their beautiful body 

despite being colourblind.

Everyone deserves a person 

that makes them want to dance 

despite the self diagnosis 

of two left feet.

Everyone deserves their person.

Everyone deserves a person 

that defines falling in love before falling

despite knowing where you're going to land .

Everyone deserves their soulmate

who can pick them up when they fall.

I need mine.

Rain..

Grey winters 

mask the sky

jaws of winter 

bite into my skin

warm leather seats

embrace me

Melancholy rain

splashes on the bonnet

kissing and caressing

a river of God himself

some people

feel the rain

and others

others

they just get wet.

Choose me..

Take your time

please don't rush

sleep on it

if you must

don't decide

based on lust

because if you do

I'll be crushed

So take your time

and please don't rush.

I need to know

that you stopped

and put in

some decent thought

listed the pros

and the cons

weighed the rights

and the wrongs.

Give this decision

thought and time

even if you don't

change your mind

you hold my life

in your hands

all my dreams

all my plans.

Take your time

please don't rush

sleep on it

if you must

don't decide

based on lust

because if you do

I'll be crushed

So take your time

and please don't rush.
