The white cat

The white cat sneaked into our home

through the window in my room

I watched him dash by

Ran to chase him out

Shoo shoo, i followed him

into the bedroom, and under the bed

he ran

Shoo, shoo, i followed him out

under the dining table he decided 

to hide

Shoo,Shoo, i followed him out,

He r an to the window, but knew not 

how to get out

Opened the front door

Shoo, shoo, i tried to chase him out

Alas, he would not even peep out

Shoo, Shoo, i chased him some more

Till he ran helter skelter through

all open doors 

Tired and scared

he gave up,

Stoodnext to the back door,

whining at me

As if to say "am sorry, but cant you open the door any faster"

The door opened

and out he ran

The cute little white cat!! 

 This is him!!

Wrote this based on what really happened today afternoon!! :D Took me a few mins to understand why he dint run out through the front door.. Floppy was waiting to attack outside the door!! :)

Hold on..

The swish of the wind 

bellowing in my ears

Taking me back,to

days flown by.

Memories flooding my thoughts

Alternating- happy and sad,

I held on tight

to today's dreams .

Reaching for the stars

like i always do

Little drops of doubt

lingered in my mind.

Challenges and learnings

i hope to gain

Was that all it took

to complete my life?

Aspirations, i had many

cached in the chest within my heart

knew not when i shall unleash em

Hoped i did.

"That day too shall come"

my inner voice chided

jolting me back to today

hope and dreams 

Here i come....

[55er] Dream

Driving back home, my thoughts began to wander.

"What if the guy and gal weren’t killed?"

“What if the girl’s brother had set them free?”

"What if the store guy hadn’t agreed to the sting operation?”

Would the story move so well, or would it have become boring...

Honkkkkkkkkkkk

Jeez, the signal is Green already!!

[55er] The Morning

She was still sleepy, struggled to open her eyes – am i dreaming?

“I want to spend my lifetime .....................”

Ah, there it is again, i know i heard it, she thought

That’s when the buzz from under her pillow jolted her awake.

[big grin]] Ahhh... What a start to the day...  “Hi there honey... “

Path

The road ahead
winding and long
footsteps,and shadow
are all i see coming along

Where does it lead to
am tempted to ask
Adventure and excitement
i put on the mask

In the distance
i see a faint glow
something pushes me ahead
like pebbles fighting against the river flow

Where does it lead to do
i dare wonder?
Or wait for the discovery
Oh yonder?

Time flies by
with the baby hand on the clock
My life, i hope
is what the path will unlock.........

55er.... Lost...

Twinkling stars lit up the night sky as we tried to figure out the constellations, only to give up in a few seconds.
 

The waves came crashing, one right after another. White foamy salty water brushing against our feet, jolting us from our reverie
 

Bah, who cares... we continued to remain lost in our Love..

55er.... Valentines day....

Since today was Valentines day, thought why not try a 55er... 

The phone rang. She stared at it, making sure it was for real.
 
Grabbed it and ran to her room all the while staring at it praying it continued to ring

Answered it breathlessly whispering a  "Hello sweetheart"

All she heard was rustle and voices..

Alas, the phone had dialled on its own...it wasn’t Him........

Towering

Towering high
majestic and grand
decked in bright red
with rings of light on your neck
you came waltzing towards me

fear, excitment and a rush
ripping through me in all directions
knew not what was in store
heart beating faster
hands itching to click

not one, or two, but
quite a handful
big steps, looming large
closing the distance,
i saw the gentleness in you

words of awe and admiration
gasps, and claps

frenzy of emotions

engulfing me from around 

drawing me into your act

all the way across the world
a small country i know is your home
larger than life ideas, thoughts
never seen before
overwhelming us all

parading as if you owned the space
dancing to the beats
twirling and swirling
flirting and romancing
you had us all spell bound
while, time flew by quietly

Towering......
The Giraffes ruled the evening!!!

Just felt like writing these few words after witnessing an interesting act today evening as part of the Chennai sangamam - a cultural fest over a week, coming to an end tomorow... This was from Bonjour India~!!
