The Musings of an Unostentatious Homemaker

Winter is here With chilly winds and fresh air. It brings with it thoughts of cold night Hot chocolate and sweaters held tight. Frosty mornings and toasty mugs When the snow gets whiter And light is brighter We snuggle under the warm blanket To keep ourselves snug And have happy thoughts Of merry Yuletide. Winter is here With it's frost and nip With the world that is snowy Makes your heart skip a beat.

I miss those carefree days Filled with laughter and gay abandon My childhood days. Happiness overflowed Everything was rosy and bright My childhood days. No worries that plagued Life was arcadian My childhood days. No duties to perform Responsibility free idyllic life My childhood days. I miss those lighthearted days Filled with  joyous elation My childhood days.

I couldn't believe he left me like this Promised eternal love And just vanished. He was always there by my side Through life's journey Always held my hand. We always thought nothing will break our pair We will leave this world together he promised. But all our dreams were shattered in a trice As he left for his journey to the other world. I couldn't believe he left me like this Alone and single And just vanished. 

We met at a party It was love at first sight You said we were soulmates O! I loved you so. It was a fairytale marriage Made everyone envy  us You said we were soulmates O! I loved you so. All of it was a passionate dream Till everything turned to a nightmare You said  we were soulmates O! I loved  you so . You changed I don't know how To a demon almost overnight You said we were soulmates O! I loved you so. You injured me with your hands and words Got marks in my body to show You said we were soulmates O! I loved you so. You tortured me like never before You wounded me body and soul If we were really soulmates How can this happen though?

I don't know why I am thus I am rude and obnoxious My language has turned filthy I have blackened my heart. Your love has made me a villain Yeah I know I have changed for the worse I have lost all my goodness Yes, I have forsaken God. My hands no longer shake when I kill I enjoy the devilish hunt My mind is full of evil I have befouled my heart. Your love has made me a villain Yeah I know I have changed for the worse I have lost  all  my  goodwill Yes, I have forsaken God. My tears have all dried up I feel no pain anymore I am now a miserable wretch I have no soul in my heart. Your love has made me a villain Yeah I know I have changed for the worse I have lost all my amity Yes, I have forsaken God.

The world of books is action- packed,  Amusing , astounding and amazing , It is a breathtaking adventure into fantasyland It is addictive and awe- inspiring.  

Time is the best gift we can give someone It is an honour to receive such a one One's presence during good times and bad Makes us fear no one. Love is the greatest gift given It is a privilege to receive such a one One's affection and fondness for a person Fills us all with warmth. Kindness is a gift we can bestow on others It is a distinction to receive such a one One's benevolence is a treasure for all Makes us happy from within. Friendship is a priceless gift given to all It is a glory to receive such a one One's mutual and cordial fellowship Fills us all with love. Wealth and riches are the least important gift That the world has a weakness for All the gold ,silver and jewels  Cannot buy us what we want.

I can't remember your face anymore You've been gone so long Your face is  a hazy memory Like the misty winter's sky. My recollections of the times with you Are fading very fast They crop up in my mind's eye sometimes And haunt my thoughts for days. My only reminiscences of you Are  from the photos I have of you But they do not clearly jog my mind As they are sepia- toned with time. But the thing I have not forgotten, Mom Is your loving smile I can still  feel the warmth of your hugs Whenever I think of you. 

Hey you ! You left me for another And did not look back Jealousy like a gaping wound Festers in my heart. Hey you! You are happy now Not thinking of my grief Envy like a sharp edged knife Slices through my heart. Hey you! Your smiling face Steals the smile from mine Green eyed monster with its cruel bite Tears apart my heart. Hey you! I will take your peace As you have taken mine Revenge like a fatal poison Has infected my heart.

I saw you walk past  As I sat at the window seat of the cafe With your breathtaking good looks  And charming smile  Oblivious to my presence  My heart skipped a beat. I know we agreed never to meet again  I know we promised to be happy  I know we said we'd move on I know I broke my promise.  You look happy  As I sat and observed you With your young and pretty wife And adorable baby in arms Unware of my presence  My heart broke in million pieces.  I know we agreed never to meet again  I know we promised to be happy  I know we said we'd move on  I know I broke my promise.  You sorted your life in a jiffy  As I sat and contemplated  You didn't take time to move on  And forgot our time instantly  Clueless of my presence  My heart crumbled to dust. I know we agreed never to meet again  I know we promised to be happy  I know we said we'd move on  I know I broke my promise.  ...

It was a stormy night and it was happening again. It was pitch dark everywhere. He felt the darkness rise in him. It was like an addiction. As the lightning tore apart the night sky he took out his knife and slowly moved towards the lone person standing under the shade of a closed shop. And as the storm reached it's peak he sunk the knife into the man who instantly fell to his death. He sliced open his carotid artery and blood gurgled out and mixed with the gurgling water from the rain. As he looked down at the dead body an evil smile came to his lips. He felt invincible. Nobody can taunt him again if they knew. He was no longer the middle class accountant who was the butt of all jokes. He was the king. The serial killer that everyone wanted to catch. His hunger temporarily  satiated guilt and remorse took hold of him as the storm raged on.

I still  remember the time I first met you I was yours from the first day I did not look back even once As you led me astray. You taught me to be false and unethical But I never questioned you once I followed you blindly As if in a trance. I behaved like you in every way Was vile, insidious and cruel I copied your every move As if your mirror image. I gave up my friends and family Just to win your heart You left me and went your way As if I had no worth. You turned me into a villain And now I can't go back So I take your life as you took mine As if it can turn back the clock.
