Celebration

Its that time of the year where I either get asked or ask myself if I’m a little wiser. Most years I say no since repeat mistakes, still have regret and make a complete ass of myself at times where I know I can do better. The frustration mounts more when I expect loved ones to show minimum courtesy on this day. Friends are excused since my hold on them is limited to when I see them but family have little excuse in this world of Twitter/Facebook/Smses. High maintanence-ish as it sounds; it takes very little for me to bring a smile to my face on this day. So when I don’t get that call, I put on a cynical face to the world and cry a little inside. Not because I think they don’t love me or don’t have time for me. More at the realisation that I am slowly losing touch with someone that shares my blood. After all family is family.

Yet there are those years that I feel I have learnt something. Life in that one year has taught me something. I have let go of a habit. I have buried a grudge that I held. Or at a minimum I learn I will never try cooking like my mum at high speed because it means my kitchen looks a WW2 battle ground. But jokes aside, this year I have learnt some things. I have learnt that even the deepest pain will diminish. I have learnt some people will always be malicious. And the best part, I have learnt I need to give my dreams a fair chance before throwing them out. While I am still waiting for some bonds to reform, new ones bring joy, share fun and delight to a tattered soul. I thank you for all the love, support, guidance and compassion you have shown me. This means more than I can ever say or show.

So as I shared my new year with you and celebrated it with my painting called Time, I now share with you my birthday. All I ask is that on this day that I was born, you say a prayer to those that need hope on this day, bid farewell to those that pass on this day and give a warm welcome to the new arrivals.

Fortune Teller

With a little smile or maybe a hug

And she sweeps away any gloomy bug

As the cards stand guard who she is

The secrets will show another little miss

But there's never a moment is she ever fake

Feisty yet kind a great mother she'll make

So emotional blackmail, life is way too short

Whatever the desire, no compromise she does retort

Yet clever is the key word for my little pretty

And sweet too like a white chocolate cookie

Dreams and wishes packed into a bundle

With enough time to live and mingle

So lovely, the distance you travel maybe long

But sing with it like your favourite song

Time may test your strength again and again

But have courage till you reach your end

If there was anyone that I could depend on for a supportive shoulder and a creative viewpoint then this is my girl. I love her to bits and will cherish our memories. Happy Birthday, darling..

Aphrodiety

The Girl from My Past and Future

Can I talk to you

Is it a bad time

What do you think

You sure its fine

She starts to speak

As the words flow

She may not be sure

But wants you to know

And silently so

A bond begins 

And before you blink

There's a change within

Whats more to ask

In a lifetime like this

As we embark

On friendship bliss

Fights and feud

Dont change at all

But nothing is easy

Yet we have a ball

So friend of years

Its time to shine

Show the world

The heights you climb

Happy Birthday to my friend, cousin, foe and fan. You mean more to me than I can say or that I can show. Thank you for being there and I wish you all the happiness in the world, now and the years to come.
