A Tangy Twist
Alluring and glamorous a flower you were,
You opened your spirit whole heartedly,
And the butterfly in me found the nectar,
Sipping from it brewed a love medley.
Time changes a lot of things,
Who knew that the nectar would turn to booze?
I turned our lives into a graveyard of buried hopes,
Losing you neither seemed a loss nor a bruise.
Now I realize that my actions were rush and unfair,
My infectious affection for you has always been virgin pure,
Others would have found me too much to bear,
But you always devise a way to endure.
If only you knew how I felt with your hands delicately on my skin,
That time you wiped away my tears with your kiss,
The rosy look from your sparky eyes made me win,
You defiantly, still pamper me with ineffable bliss.
