simple stories of a collection of little lives... all woven into one larger story and lived each day at a time... the feeling of the cool breeze on my face, and the wind ruffling my unruly hair...the story of watching the sun set over a green hill, beside a dark lake...reflections of moments on a bench, with our fingers entwined into each other's...the feeling of a lump in my throat as my children hold on to my hand on a rough patch on the road...or... of falling in love...all over again...

You Changed Me Twice Over
You changed me twice over….
Once with love, then with pain
My heart rose to ethereal heights…
It barely could trust again.
You changed me twice over…
I begged, cried, reconciled then.
lips cold, spirit confined…..
Contentment – I learnt to feign.
You changed me twice over….
From adoring, all-believing eyes,
And soul dipped in softness…..
To clenched fists and severed ties.
Scaling heights of passion….
Then numbness regained.
You changed me twice over….
There's no trace of pain.
