I SEE YOU...

A red aura and a glowing face;

Love silently chiming along the church bells;

Transfixed, yet blushing with a shining gaze,

Gracefully you pave the flower trail.

Smiling like a blooming morning glow,

Telling me of love that we redefined;

Staring with an emotion – I just don’t know;

I hear your heart pounding in rhythm with mine.

The crowded world fades into unwantedness,

All I see is you, my princess to be.

The serene white dimmed by your innocence,

I feel the silence simply conversing with me.

Nothing matters to me, nothing at all,

As I see you now, walking down the aisle.

P.S.- unwantedness is no actual word...i just used it to tell about the feeling strongly in a word...

SUGAR...

Inhaling the thick hot vapours around,

Treading on the metal-my last touch on ground;

Ready to dive in a well of bitter coffee,

Satisfied with the thought-‘I’ll make someone happy.’

Wonder as I dissolve, if most humans could be such-

Defeating bitter harsh world with soft sugary touch;

Mixing, where needed, without any trace,

Icing happiness in their own unique ways.

I break and break, to sweeten things on the whole,

Without breaking cookies or brimming cups at all.

I bind and freeze, to keep things together;

Without me would Turkish delights be any better?

I am used in everything that’s called celebration.

Even cocoa is relished due to my intervention.
