Notes from a Modern Woman's Diary

Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
oh, how wonderful that would be my dear,
words as tender as the settling mist
speaking your feelings in more than a gist. 

And they say chivalry was passe,
"Is it really so", ask them?
Thinking feminism wouldn't approve when it can,
but how can ever women not love the courteous man!

Lessons from an Apple

Worm in the apple

loses to attract anymore 

For the modern times are here

and the act is nothing but a bore

We are too busy making ends meet

spending recklessly every week 

Is this the adult world I craved for? 

Full of deceit, greed and the weak

Come back my days of innocence

when I could spend hours in the sun

play to my heart's content

without a fear of the burn

Now, all I do is slog all day

at what cost?

living in a metro

away from all those who make me gay

Maturity is good

but not at the cost

of the child within,

who should be allowed to spring up

and make the necessary din

There's nothing like 

laying back to appreciate

the joys that surround

while the apple you ate
