Two loners met
The distance is perfect
the space is perfect
the atmosphere is perfect
the company is perfect
They let each other into their inner most selves
One plus one still one
Bare and naked two loners’ hearts
Beating as one
We are like 2 pieces of jigsaw puzzles he said
I don’t feel I need to run from you she said
Tick tock tick tock
Time is trickling in harmony
24 hours round the clock
Two loners smile mischievously
Did I know you before they said

Cupping my heart with your hands
My fairest
Bundle of warmth
In the desolate place, in the deep winter
Snowflakes melting
With you in my embrace
there is music and lyrics again
the ocean with hues
the valley with shades
My breathing once again meaningful
You came so I could be found again
Now my Love
My heart just blossoms in time for Spring
Sweet solitude,
I have waited all day for you-
This surrounding infusion
of stillness enveloping me
My smile suddenly
has no duty to please
but arises in natural beauty
from the truthful joy
in being alone, I bask unseen
in my own company for though I adore
so many in the world, I simply
love them more
after a chance to miss them.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 sums up 2018, a year of perseverance. I feel a call for patience in the new year.
May the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) be with me and you in 2019.
Dedicated to Misha
There is something therapeutic about showers.
For years I had fostered a habit of taking a shower once I walked through my front door coming home from a day’s work.
The shower took my day off and it was like walking out from a hussle bussle world into my sanctuary. It was almost like a sanctifying ceremony.
The shower centred me and set the calm tone of the evening. I often felt afresh and renewed.
When I met you, the first thing I did was adapting your “shower in the dark” daily routine.
There is something else all together when showering in the dark.
When your surrounding is dim. You would have to rely a lot more on your sense of touch. When showering in the dark, it intensifies the transition from day to night, chaos to calm, cluttered to clear mind, exhaustion to rejuvenation. It restores me and makes me whole again.
I put music on sometimes if the sound of the running water is mono. Music is also more impactful when listening to in the dark.
Showering in the dark sparks all my senses with pleasure stimulation. Spurge of energy flew out to carry me into the mysterious night dancing with the stars. I become alive!
The blues landed on me today
Even the sky is shedding tears
Sadness trapped inside me
Exhaling in vain
Where are you hiding, my cheery clouds?
I lost you in my dreams last night,
neither could I see you now.
The beginning of my melancholy days…
she collects your tears
washes away the blues
she sings you lullaby
sends sweetness to your dreams
she gives you rest
mends your broken heart
I know God is faithful and yet I still doubt.
Jacaranda blooms in spring gloriously on this patch of the earth.
In late Springs, I enjoy strolling down the street where they are all lining up and yearning each other. Romantic poems written about the magnificent jacaranda.
Yet, my inclination to jacaranda is God comes through by illustration of its splendour Spring after Spring overcame the nakedness in Winters.
“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin.”
God IS Faithful!
