Heart-warming And Charming

Heart-warming And Charming

28 November 2017

Your beauty welcomes me.

Your visual appeal touches me

And goosebumps manifest

To make me feel blessed.

Good looks come from symmetry, 

Proportion and repetition,

Like in the marble parquetry.

All three are done to perfection.

Everywhere, underfoot and overhead,

Is elegance and loveliness.

Prettiness and grandeur are wed

Into luxury and courtliness.

The paucity of my treasury

Prevents me from staying long.

My enjoyment must be momentary,

Short, like I don't belong.

The fleeting moments are stowed,

In my memory where they won't corrode,

To warm my heart with grandness

From the sparks of beauty's flame.

In times of poverty and blandness,

I reflect back on your lovely acclaim.

Jubilation And Appreciation

Jubilation And Appreciation

10 Sept 2017

My day began with joy and thanksgiving.

The joy in my heart comes from my inner child

And thanksgiving arises from this life I’m living.

Since my everyday ego and inner child reconciled,

There’s been an attitudinal and behavioral change.

I no longer have a compulsion for perfection.

I efficiently do my tasks and act to rearrange

My way of doing things and my personal direction.

One day I realized that it doesn’t matter,

How I dress doesn’t matter a lot.

Nobody will remember that stain or splatter.

My chore order isn’t the final upshot.

As long as the final result pleases me

Nitpicking doesn’t matter anymore.

I get to do whatever appeases me

And make the mundane less of a chore.
