Safeguard

She pulls it together
Snugly on her slender shoulders
The warmth engulfing her
Like the heat from the furnace
Fighting the winter’s sinewy touch.
The texture of her wrap
Gently rugged, little wisps of thread
Offering respite in a forlorn night..
Like love lost, waiting to be found
On the treshold of hope and despair
The wrap..akin to his strong shoulders
Securely clasping her every emotion
From overflowing into limpidity!

Expectations

Here comes a new leaf..
Anticipation makes me flip
Resolutions, vows to be better
To understand more, judge less..
To evolve more, complain seldom.
Smile all I can, crank? Nay never!
I look into my inner self
And give an appreciative nod!
Often wondering what’s in me
That eludes me and reveals itself to you..
The flaws that I am oblivious to..
May those very downfalls
Diffuse into a blur
Making the self as smug
As it perceives itself to be..
May the expectations be only
Of the humbling, lofty kind
That puts me to ground
And earths all the overflowing current!
