lazy winter afternoon
ambling along the sidewalk
window shopping
lazy winter afternoon
ambling along the sidewalk
window shopping
cold wintry night
a small dog on the sidewalk
shivering in the chill
buying blankets
looking for abandoned animals
waiting to cover them
on my birthday
I look at you both with affection
my sisters
a reminiscent
of my parent’s existence
a constant reminder
that we were born
of the same love
between two people
who no longer stay
in the mortal world
share my life
hold my hand
look into my eyes
and take a vow
we will stay
together
till the end of time
I wanted my man
to be
like my father
but
I got you instead
and
I got all confused
do such opposites exist ???
it’s love
which is above all emotions
happiness and sadness
long afternoons
reminiscing about
the life unlived
midlife crisis
thoughtful nights
old age beckoning
cold wintry nights
I pine I languish for
the midsummer fun
grey hair peeping
from under the fashion colour
can’t hide old age
