Kanuism

Armed with simplicity, dressed in jet black, Just a genuine smile, diplomacy he did lack, Wasn't too long since we got to know each other, But with him around, the time would no longer bother Those eyes spoke volumes, had big dreams and a few fears too I would visit the world through them, oh! it was so true. Hiding some pain amidst the adorable smile, Absolutely innocent, he’d woo me every once in a while. A connoisseur of art and all things fine, A lover of independence, he shared a dream just like mine His presence was a touch of soulful melody, With him, life seemed like a lovely fairy tale, not a random parody!

A pleasant smile, with those hypnotic eyes, Naughty to the core, but a welcome surprise, Loves to fight and brings out the beast in me, Then innocently winks saying, 'Come on, let it be! Somehow my ego takes a back seat and winks, It wants to know what this guy actually thinks! He brightens up my day effortlessly, And I fall for him hopelessly. That husky voice, Oh! the enchanting gaze, Make me addicted, it's such a 'craze' With utmost simplicity, he wins over my heart, And Cupid dances as he perfectly hits the random dart.

Many moons ago, there was someone I didn't know, Not very friendly, but she liked to go with the flow. 'Silence', she was called, came to meet a select few, As a kid, ‘noise’ was all that I knew! Fun, laughter and lots of merry-making, No worries or fears about people faking. 'Trust' was a familiar word, easy to believe, I wouldn't feel hurt too often, it was easy to forgive. Gradually, I understood what ‘quiet’ meant, In memory making, time was happily spent. Indulged in s tar-gazing and watched seasons taking twists & turns,  Fell for words, blushed at poems and laughed at jokes  & puns. Befriended emotions and feelings. To my surprise, Silence was indeed noisy, she had the powers to lovingly mesmerise!

We never really grow up, we just age, Everyone’s naughty, no one’s a sage! Little pleasures of life are what we crave for, making us feel like kids once more. Be it doing the ‘boogie woogie’ or singing our hearts out, And living without knowing the meaning of the word ‘doubt’. It’s never too late to begin as they say, Happiness awaits your attention, just smile, come what may! It’s when you’re wondering how horrible things could get, the incredible happens, ‘serendipity’ you've met. Befriend her and break free, Life’s fun...if you let it be!

Let her know she matters to you, Tell him his departure shatters. Be true. People, like seasons, come and go, Don't hesitate, It's best to let them know. A compliment or a feeling, whatever it is, Express it before they become someone you miss. Fall in love, slog at work, make mistakes and get over, Live happily in the NOW coz nothing lasts forever

They don't do it intentionally, but you're hurt, It's meant to be funny, you find it curt. Why should petty talks matter anyway? Everyone's free to convey whatever they wanna say. Breathe. It's unfair expecting things to be as you please. Those who matter, can affect you with unbelievable ease. But it ain't such a big deal you know, Just laugh it off and let it go. They're after all not bad at heart, And you'll kinda miss them while they depart

The first thing every morning I do, Is to smile and endlessly think about you. Your words resonate in my head, Reminding me of all that you said. It felt special when you called me 'beautiful', My heart sang merrily, I felt wonderful. You brought me back to life in a way, So here's something I'd really like to say, I am addicted to you, and it's magical, You've made a dreamy poet out of this shy gal!
