Antique

Image
By
With an obligate I opened drawer
I knew what I wanted , a crate.  
Enveloped with the layers of dust it was
I smeared over with care so as to 
sanctify it with an eulogy and love
That she blessed me with! 
A pair of luster gold bangles  
Grandma gave them to me ages back
They still have the same resplendence 
As fresh as that day in my memory
My eyes are wet and heart ecstatic 
For, now it's my turn to keep our ethic 
I'll consign them to my granddaughter 
Before I bid an adieu to the beautiful bride

Speculations and Contrasts

The more you wait; the more it gets late The more expect; the more it hurts you exact The more you try to make; the more situations tend to break The more you find reasons; the more you get in confusion The more you try to show; the more you get outshone The more you have; the more things you have to loose The more you dare; the more you bear But The more you share; the more you cheer The more you love; the more you be loved The more you try; the more things come by The more imagine; the more your thoughts be designed  The more you believe within; the more stronger even the fate tries to make you win The more challenges you accept; the more opportunities your way precept The more you be true; the more you be You! P.S. - I wrote this as a fun scribble but soon realized worth to share with you all. I would love to read yours ''the more...''
