My life
this whole of my life
is like a birthday cake
I received as a gift
from my beloved who sent me here
I cut a large piece for myself
I eat it and keep it too
off white icing is hard as anyone’s luck
it’s sweetness tastes like teenage love
silver balls crackle as I dig my teeth
these feel like tough tasks I take
red hot strawberry on the top
is luscious like a lover’s lips
chocolate interior dark and warm
feels like love’s embrace
it tastes like life bitter and sweet
savouring every morsel I feel like a queen
delicious are these moments
not less than this cake
which I savour
and get to keep!
…that is a wonderful story about a delectable savory called life that Gods always try to make and humans unmake…only if everyone gets to the essence of living so remarkably captured by you…we would have adduced more intensity to our routine and mundane living …silver, sweet, bitter and luscious strawberry all make up together this interesting palette … thanks for letting us enjoy this …lovely piece Dear Pritts
thanks very much Prateek!
Wonderful….life is beautiful and so is your poem…..
thanks Jaushree!
