Mile

Take your time to think my friend
Communication is an overrated trend
My heart with rules that break and bend
I almost never want us to end

Eye contact is magical
Your touch - unattainable
Midnight calls and realizations
Life is but, it's own revelation

The distance is bearable
Your absence, makes a sad fable
What should I do, what shouldn't I?
What would life be, if I wouldn't die?

2000's 20th

This is qurarantine
An idle mind intervenes
Take care and stay safe
Like that is a piece of cake
devil's workshop
all thoughts stop
Smoking weed and cigarettes
Oblivious to a sleep etiquette
Whiskey, tequila and cocktails
Like a robot's life, inbox full of emails
Sadness inspires me
While I long for my family
Indifferent to what tomorrow is
As long as i fall into a sleeping bliss.

A birthday

You are my home; my happy place
Without you, at life, I'd never ace

Quintessential for you, is your child's happiness
You are a great mother, unconditionally selfless

You taught me patience and so much more, mother
told me, "not to bother"

You said, "Aditi, it's important to be happy & have fun
And miss out on opportunities none"

Happy Birthday Mumma, you age to be 51 years old
But hearts like yours don't age, because they're  made of gold.
