Salsa

Flirty and sensuous, teasing and tempting,
What's a partner without some ranting

'Tis not easy to mesh your moves with hers
Then conquer the twirlers and the twisters

The silent converstations with her eyes,
And he feels she needs him when she sighs

She feels like a dream and they can no longer stay apart
As she slowly claims authority over his head and heart

Till that one time he fouls-up and bungles it
Oh, she'll forgive him, she really is the epitome of loyalty

She treads on without remorse or mercy
Steps on those dreams and fantasies

And goes on to find another partner
And her memories of him grow fainter and frailer...

It was flawed all along, he realizes
All the problems were clouded by her disguises

He walks on, knowing she wasn't really godsend
After all, Everything that has a beginning has an end!

He knows there's something much better out there
If only he knew where...

    Mind is irreversible. I believed in remolding, at least erasing the past which belonged to someone else. May be everything is just a learning and learning never ends and so the search for the 'one'! the one and only one!

    True. All good things come to an end. But seems like this was not good to begin with.

    @bharat
    I think remoulding itself involves some bit of a change of track in one's mind. Other than that, the search probably never ends for learning, but surely does for "The one" :)

    @Solitaire
    Hard to define, though good and bad are always judgements of one's mind.. And the power of the mind is such that when you're convinced things are great sometimes, nobody or nothing can remove that veil over your rose-tinted view of the world!

    I get a deja vu with some of your pieces as well, as a matter of fact! :)

Lie Live a life of mediocrity and don't even realize it Do not recognize excellence and accept it as something they just can't get to, no matter what Have a misplaced sense of self Are inefficient in normal day-to-day life Are not punctual Don't listen to others while having a conversation Women who are new age 'gold-diggers' Follow the herd, without using the mind that they have Spend their entire life trying to achieve a dream that wasn't theirs to start off with Give me responses of awe, inspiration and intimidation when they hear about 'the tag' Claim they can 'crack it' if they tried.. (what losers they must be to make such loose comments about something that 199,750 people fail to 'crack' each year) Cannot hold a conversation about anything even a light year close to intellectual Claim that they cannot continue with their partners after a long-drawn romance, giving them false hope and faking it all along Don't treat their partne...

Little Angel

Hail the co-incidence chanced upon me by the net That after 6 months of talk, me and her finally met As those endless hours on the phone went by I knew there was more to her than meets the eye She was not just another pretty girl I knew that there was much more of her to unfurl In those addictive conversations night after night We were a house on fire waiting to ignite The dapper angel's words tweeted like music Not speaking to her every night almost made me manic After all those days, the moment of truth arrived All those doubts about an internet relationship suddenly skydived Since the instant we met, I let her have her way Shook her hand as a hug lay far astray In those 540 minutes of unadulterated bliss She felt like mine after just a kiss Felt like being in a happy relationship after a while Just being with her every moment made me smile This little angel was bundled with enthusiasm and zeal Such a treat and that too a close match to my ideal Every day after that, the distanc...

The Partner [Edit]

It is a dark and rainy night. We run along the lonely streets, holding hands all along. The bad guys aren't far behind. They've chased me this long, and I've fended them off. I had the power of stealth with me then. Not anymore, for I've given my heart away to my lover. She convinces me that our paths are the same and that she's ready to endure any trial-by-fire with me. I shrug away the feeling that my she's a liability. I can only think of the days when the running will end, the days when there will be an end to all the violence, the days when I can rest on my accomplishments and share the rest of my life with my lover. I get back from my thoughts. They're on wheels and we're on foot, I realize as I hear the revving of the engines a few blocks away. We run into a fork, in the road. I tug her hand towards the right, but she pulls back. "Let's go this way", she says pointing left. "I know this path well", she adds. My sixth sense ...
