Not a Naive Lil’ Girl

January 23, 2020 By Shalini 86 Comments

army wife poem

I sit by the window, sipping my morning tea“Where did the decade flee?”, Oh, what a pity!“It’s time to pack”, the black boxes seem to screamThe posting has come, no, it’s not a bad dream. Choosing a major I loved, was how the decennium beganFriends, fun, and frolic a go-go, while I still programmed.Campus interviews…

When it Rains…

when it rains a poem

When it rainsI sit by the windowCold wind hitting my faceas grey marks the skies. When it rainsI watch the raindrops in the meadowas the gym shoes lay forgottenburied deep underneath the bed. When it rains I pamper myself a little make a cup of ‘garam chai’ and dig into the world’s delicious pakoras. When…

Welcome, My Precious #writebravely #CelebrateWriteTribe

March 5, 2019 By Shalini 3 Comments

I loved you from the moment I knew you were a part of me before you drew your first breath before I held you close. I took you to long walks to gardens afar singing lullabies as you soothed into a sleep. When Dad read you bedtime stories you retorted with a kick on my…

Will You Write About Me? #FridayReflections

December 21, 2018 By Shalini 3 Comments

“Will you write about me?” he asked. I went back to our days of love, of passion, of tenderness. His eyes a gorgeous blue, his arms tattoed. Straight out of a Mills & Boon, I couldn’t help but swoon. Wander deep into my soul, I seem to say. I ache to be consumed by your…

All My Flaws #FridayReflections

November 16, 2018 By Shalini 1 Comment

I’ve been lying awake for two hours Tossing and turning Kicking off the blanket Pulling it back up, nevertheless. Alone now, I silently recall The day we exchanged vows staring into each other’s eyes A sense of delight and devotion, at least in mine. It was a new feeling A permanent smile on my face…

What makes me happy? #FridayReflections

July 6, 2018 By Shalini 10 Comments

What makes me happy

It’s a great start to the day, because I woke up with sloppy kisses this Friday. I cannot help but smile, and smother the pooch with cuddles in the meanwhile. A cup of coffee and the beautiful view of hills, Alas! It’s time to hit the treadmill! A workout is done for I need to get fit into…

A Day in the Life of a Puppy

March 4, 2018 By Shalini 16 Comments

A Day in the Life of a Puppy kohleyedme.com

It’s morning, I wake up and whine; Mom pats my head and I do just fine. I pee on the carpet and go back to bed “Why no breakfast?”, I wonder and dread. Dad takes me outside and we walk for a while. I smell the coriander and strut in style. Mommy comes with a…

A Forlorn Moment #FridayReflections

January 19, 2018 By Shalini 15 Comments

A Forlorn Moment poem #FridayReflections kohleyedme.com

When you left I gathered broken words and a dimmed-down heart. I sat in silence flooded with those salty words you said. There was not a light of hope, self-doubt prevailed. I resolved never to think of you ever again. I kept coming back to that wretched scene a permanent sunset of your weaknesses. I…

With Bated Breath

October 13, 2017 By Shalini 20 Comments

Sensuous, sweet and exciting, she waited with bated breath for him, this sunny afternoon. It’s been a long wait; a year to be exact! Oh, how she longed to quench her carnal desires, to get lost in his insanity, his pleasures. She tasted the sweetness of his lips, moaned with her head still back and her eyes…
