sylvia


although it was love at first sight,
we aren't sylvia and ted, darling

you won't cheat on me
or marry someone else
(coz you love me so)

and i will never need anti depressants;
for my heart will never be clenched by an owl's talon
(coz you love me so)

i will never be seized by the irrational compulsion
of putting my head in the oven
or leaving our (imaginary) kids desolate
(coz you love me so)

you give me everything i can ever want
everything she ever wanted, but never got
i pity sylvia, 
i wish she had met you.

hindi wala pyar

sukhi sukhi laagey baarish
gili gili laagey dhoop

shaayad humidity kuch zyada hai saiyaan :D

flamingo kisses


but darling,
mon chéri,
when you kiss me in the night rain
with the glow of the sodium vapor lamp on your skin
(or is it happiness?)
and i see your eyelids, 
ever fluttering
blinded by our love & raindrops
i hop on a leg 
and jump once more in the puddle
(splashh)

(i'm) flamingo legged 
& shy
so kiss me again 
oh me oh my

you and i


you are

maddeningly sweet
infinitely kind
shockingly sexy
nauseatingly cute
surprisingly stylish

and i am
hopelessly romantic
for you

secrets


"Tell me a secret"

love makes me wet

"No way."

All I have is a heart, its nothing but a giant heart inside,
I think I lack my stomach and liver and intestines.

"Why not?"

the intensity of my love might scare you (away)

"I can't."

I've been broken far too many times,
the reason i'm on cigarettes, coffee and cheap wine 
an ever so slight tap would be enough to crash and burn me forever 

"I'll find out."

the brown of my eyes becomes browner in tears

"Tell me a secret"

My heart is siezed by love yet again

(Inspired)
