Cuddle a Book

This weather calls for a cuddle.

But if you are married to a guy who reads,

You'd rather find yourself holding a book, too, instead,

As you secretly take a peek,

How long will it take him to caress you than the pages he picks?

Or perhaps, nevermind, because you too enjoy the words you read.

If he finds reading more enjoyable,

You, too, know that and understands.

And perhaps, that's the perk of him being married to a reader too.

Making love comes after they are both weary and tired reading books...

...or writing poems.

In the Middle of Day and Night


In the middle of day and night

I found you. 

Just when the darkness is slowly creeping in,

you showed up.

And as if you know what I'm going to need,

you did not hear me speak,

but you brought a torch to chase away the dark

--- to bring light in the darkest hour.


You said you were not the sun

but just like the moon

you'd be there in my darkest hour,

holding a torch in the dark

and My Love, I knew it now. 

And maybe I was wrong

that in the middle of that day and night, 

It was you... who found me.
