Soul Mate

I don’t really know how to begin this piece
Because you qualify in every sense to be my niece
But you have offered in my troubled heart, inconceivable peace
And for you, this poem – I have decided to deduce
I feel no shame in this truthful admittance
Because in you I have found an ingenuous acquaintance
An acquaintance who is every inch worthy of my benevolence…
I’m still finding it difficult to understand your longstanding tolerance
Even in the wake of my recent repulsive aberrance
You have never showed any signs of abhorrence
In your presence I have a wonderful ambience
And I can’t simply imagine how I would cope with your absence
In you I have a trustworthy alliance
An alliance who will provide for me every needed assistance

The Month of Love

Here again a month of untold love and affection
Changing each and every one's unique diction

Incorporating a new set of vocabulary into our books
And changing in a much detailed way our looks

A unique set of apparel donned on this occasion
Red and White I guess is the combination

At the sight of our loved ones most of us become poets
Hoping they will partner with us in order to sing duets

Duets that will resound gracefully in our ears
Providing great peace and harmony in our hearts for years

Then those three little words are said in a special way
A way that will suit that special day

Happy Valentine’s Day

Nuptials Carved By Our Parents

Those lovely little precious moments
Moments we shared and treasured like two lovely doves
Doves that had fallen freshly in love
Love which had been nurtured over a long period of time

Time which had been kept assiduously by our bountiful parents
Parents who had been looking forward to this Nuptials
Nuptials planned since our conception in their wombs
Wombs that had born and bred other siblings

Siblings who had failed to grant them their heart desires
Desires they expect that we shall grant under any circumstance
Circumstances which we can no more bear and tolerate
Tolerate and bear circumstances like their constant nagging

Naggings which are gradually becoming a nuisance to our ears
Ears that have had to put up with these nonsensical demands
Demands which we are slowly hearkening to
To make them happy and satisfy their bitter souls

Souls that have not rested in many years
Years that have seen them hope to make this combination
Combination of their seeds in order to continue the family friendship bond 

A Poem For You On Valentine's Day

The month of love is here with us again
And I know our endeavours in the past year has never been in vain

My secret admiration for you has never been in doubt
And I intend to continue until you understand what I am about

Your beauty can be likened to that of a mermaid
Sparkling with incessant beauty – Just like it’s said

Now I intend to make my intentions clear in this way
And on no other event but this special day

Permit my being to fill that part of your vacant heart
And I promise to give your love life a new start

Let this occasion signify a new beginning
A beginning of love and affection unending
