I initially wrote this poem ‘In Our Hearts’ a few years ago, when I was single and much ready to mingle. Clearly, I had a lot more time on my hands back then. Much has transpired since then and I had indeed forgotten about it, till I was doing some de-cluttering on my computer and found this.

So, here’s this sentimental poem from me to you…enjoy!

If we don’t judge a book

By its cover –

Why do we fall so for a lover?

A few compliments here,

Some sweet nothings there,

We swoon all over-

And jump in the air!

Falling in love is wonderful and ecstatic,

So that’s why our friends go back in the attic!

Technology changes

Day by day

And so we shove the old away?

But does that mean we tease our friends –

Who are striving to grasp all loose ends?

Saying damn to Patience,

Damn to Humility –

My latest gizmo comes with a five-year warranty!

Guessing, estimating and predicting

Is a game, a habit and so addicting!

Get it right, you’re on the ball,

Get it wrong, you’ve lost it all!

Why are we so hard on ourselves?

Our lives could be so easy.

Why do we store pain in our hearts’ shelves?

As we don’t have to feel this queasy!
