Love Hurts

My love was really painful

It made my life dreadful

It was full of pain

Still there like a stain

I believe it was fake

Whatever it was

Gave me a big shake

It became hurting than death

When she told me it was for wealth

I’m alone here helpless

Because of this I am worthless

Let me tell you something

It was of nothing

Love is something not worth

I don’t know why I fell in it

At start it was really great

But later it gave birth to hate

Reason being it had a scary fate

My desires became undesirable

Separation was now inevitable

A suggestion to lovers

Don’t stop falling in love

Whatever the consequences, the adventure is fit!

mona

hearing mona speak

sour and rough,

warm like milk

and dark like coffee,

she is all eyes

and beautiful,

the way her voice fills

her throat

and shimmers in your ear.

she is angry,

like a tiger with liquid eyes

and furious claws,

desperately clutching to

hide her sadness.

it’s like a fire

that burns bright,

but only at night.

it’s like waiting for

that rushing river

to ebb and flow

up to your knees

until,

at last,

it swallows you whole.

The Last Sane Generation

I was BORN in 80’s. The last SANE generation!

We are the last generation that learnt to play in the street, we are the first who’ve played video games, seen cartoons in color and went to amusement parks.  We were the last to record songs of the radio on cassettes and we are the pioneers of Walkman and chat rooms. We learned how to program the VCR before anyone else, play with the Atari, Sega, Super Nintendo and believed that the Internet would be a free world. We are the generation of the Thunder Cats, the Transformers, Scooby Doo, Tom And Jerry, Jungle Book, Popeye, G.I. JOE. Traveled in cars without seat belts or air-bags,  lived without cell phones. Rode our bicycles down the road without brakes. We never had phone but still kept in touch. We did not have Playstations, 99 television stations, flat screens, surround sound, mp3s, iPods, computers and the Internet, …but nevertheless we had a GREAT Time !!!
