LOL: Life Of Leo

Image Source Year one, fresh in love Hand in hand we rejoice Totally lost in the feeling Yet clear about each other's choice Year two, we were ready to be married Fighting against all odds, we went ahead I just wanted to be with you I knew it, because that's what my heart said Year three, as man and wife We started a new beginning Nothing changed between us I was your queen, you my king

Image source Let our eyes do the talking Not a word we shall say Lips engaged, arms entwined Together, let's sway We'll warm each other Burning with every move Passion and emotion interlaced Losing ourselves to love's groove This emotion ain't easy, they say But I want to leap into it Eyes wide shut, I drown Letting it inundate me bit by bit

Image Source They say love is nothing short of magic After all it makes the world go round When it comes to a realist like me Balderdash, these all did sound You'll feel the butterflies they said I laughed knowing I'll feel nothing But when it did happen I felt this love was quite something The first time I fell in love was beautiful I did feel something within too But magic was far away from it Even though it seemed too good to be true

We've been through a long journey now And every moment has been best after best It is you who I need to survive When I have you, I don't need the rest Months and years have passed so quick And yet I fall in love with you everyday I might not keep telling you this Just read what my eyes have to say People expected the spark to die down Together we turned it into blazing fire No matter how much time passes in between It is you who I will always desire Life seems so simple with you Together we have got past it all I can walk with my eyes closed for you I know you'll be around to break my fall You are the most important part of me You are the color and I'm your hue Without you, A to Z could never happen All about me is also about you

I firmly believe that laughter is something that keeps life going. And a sense of humor is the sexiest trait a partner can have. Humor is not only when we make fun of someone and laugh. You need to be able to laugh at yourself too. Being able to laugh at oneself is quite a feat. And this is exactly what paved way for my love story. The first meeting alone: We had known each other for the whole of our lives and by known I mean that we knew that each other existed. It was at a family occasion that we met and spoke briefly. Then he asked for my number and we began chatting. Our frequencies matched and it was really fun talking to him. We then decided to meet. Since both of us enjoy a drink, we decided to meet one weekend over some old monk and coke. We started talking and did not realize how time flew. A drink turned into five and we were still high on conversation. Finally, the pub authorities asked us to leave and we got up from our seats. We were on the fourth floor and the lif...

Image Source There is something about this thing called love It hits you hard and sweeps you off your feet It opens up doors you did not know existed And makes a rhythm of your heart beat Falling in love is not important What matters is staying in love It doesn't matter how many years pass by What was there then, should be there now Some people say that it all dies down After a few years there will be no romance Many of them are firm believers of this And yet some one of them leave it to chance My love story started years ago And it has remained the same till date Everyday I fall in love a million times With my friend, my lover and my soul mate Every morning I wake up with a kiss When he leaves to work there is another Romance lasts throughout the day for us Every night we snuggle against each other It is not something we consciously plan It all comes naturally to us Love remains the base of our relationship Nothing co...

Image Source Come August and I turn into an enthu cutlet. A week into August is my birthday and I am always beaming with energy and happiness during that time. I wait for the 8th of August every year and go all childlike that day. All my birthdays have been that way. I like celebrations. I absolutely love them infact. Be it birthdays or anniversaries, I want a big celebration. If someone tries to ruin an important day of mine I would loathe them for life. A happy occasion is something that needs to be cherished and I love to celebrate all important days of ours. We celebrate the anniversary of the day we met, the day I said yes, the day we got engaged, the day we got married - and this we celebrate every month. Yeah, call us crazy if you want but Cal and I are generally very happy people. Someone once told me that a husband would run behind his wife for six months after marriage. Once the fancy wears out, he would not even look at her. I would give anything to see the look on the...

Image Source There is this tingling sensation that I feel Of butterflies and the chant of a saxophone  I hear the birds chirping more clearly Every sound has now taken a musical tone The world suddenly seems like a better place Even a sip of water intoxicates me I am lost in an endless dreamy trance That is prettier than what my eyes can see This feeling is extremely beautiful I never want to let go off it I see an array of endless candles And my life is now miraculously lit Nothing around bothers me anymore Happiness is the only thing that I feel Finally I have an answer to all my questions All the loose ends are now tightly sealed Colors now have a new meaning to me Every shade takes me to a different land My mind is busy spinning a bright tale Larger than life, something very grand They say once you are in, you cannot get out But I have already made up my body, mind and soul I have left behind incomplete parts of me ...

photo by Bert Stern I can never ever forget this day Of love, laughter and passion It was just us away from the world Your look made my heart beat fasten We set aside time and commitments We both knew we only had this day I'm glad you did not waste time talking Your eyes conveyed everything you had to say The swirls of smoke drift my thoughts Of how we moved on years ago Why didn't we wait for each other How could we let ourselves go You have remained in my heart since then Love won, but it is us who lost Even though today we have come together My heart realizes at what cost Leaving behind our respective partners Here we are entwined in each other's arms Even after all these years the love remains strong As I melt under your intoxicating charms I have never felt this happy before My bright smile reflects the sparkle in your eye How could we have messed this up so much Even though smiling, my heart wants to cry ...

photo by Toni Frissell   Today I feel the first glimpse of love Of butterflies and chill down my spine Looking at you my heart flutters In that one instant, I made you mine I look at you from a distance Your chiseled face and that gorgeous bod I feel a mixture of passion, love and lust Oh dear Adonis, my Greek Lord Those green eyes speak to me Captivating me to my bone If loving you would be a sin Then this sin I wouldn't atone I see the mischief in your smile My heart beats now form a chime I am not letting go off this moment Who knows if there would be a next time I know that you are nothing like me Yet the attraction I cannot hold back I am incomplete in my own way You are all the things that I lack I am sure that this will work well Before I have never felt like this Somewhere deep down within me I know Being in your arms would feel like bliss Be the silver voice to my golden silence Every boundary let us now...

Image Source It all ended the way it had started Unexpected, passionate and without a word I wanted to hold it within myself But you wanted to be the free bird Days after days, I waited for you Hoping that you will change your mind But I did not even see your shadow No matter where I looked, nothing I could find There was nothing great about you And yet you perfectly blended into me I was what I was when I was with you Today, within me I can no longer see I hate the peace in my life today Your chaos is what I crave for now I know that where ever you are  You own me, it's an unsaid vow The madness is getting on to me I look for you in every breath of mine I feel your touch with a drop of rain And your voice in the flow of wine I listen to our song endlessly The chorus is now embedded in my vein I hate the power you have over me You are the poison that soothes my pain No one else has made me feel this way Only with...

Image Source This weekend I did something that I thought I never could. I stayed away from my laptop and did not bother to do anything related to work. I did not check my mails, Facebook or Twitter. I relaxed a lot and baked to my hearts content. I stayed active on Instagram though, putting up pictures of the things around me. I love Instagram because it is a no nonsense social media. Just pictures and nothing else. I love posting random pictures there and that was the only place that I was available this weekend. Cal and I have never been home bodies, but ever since we moved out to a place of our own, we love to sit and relax at home. It had been four days since I had written a blog post, but a part of me did not care. Another part of me was itching to login for a few minutes and write something, but the former took over and I let it be. It is after such a long time that I have given such a long break between my blog posts. And you know what? This time I enjoyed it. It is impo...

Image Source I thought I had got the picture right I worked hard on getting the correct shade You came along at the perfect time Ensuring that the colors never fade As I look back across the years I can only remember life with you You were the partner I was looking for You are my dream that came true I did not need anyone else You were everything to me A friend, a lover and a soul mate Beyond you my eyes couldn't see Crowds began to repel me Everyplace I was searching for your face With you everything seemed so nice But without you I was lost in a maze It was just you and me every where Together we faced and battled it all At times I kept your spirits up And at times you prevented my fall Holding hands we came a long way Everybody wanted to break us apart The poor souls did not know that We were strongly connected in the heart Time and again challenges we faced We saw the true colors of everyone around We learn...

Image Source He is the apple of my eye. The man whom I love the most in the world. He is the one who I live for and who makes life worth living. He is the one for whom I will do anything. He is the one for whom I shall die or kill. He is my strength and my weakness. He is the only one that matters in the world to me. I give him the biggest piece of cake and the unburnt toast. I give him the rounder chapati and the juiciest part of the fruit. I make food that he loves at any given time of the day. He is the the most important part of me. He is my husband and I love him. But I do not worship him. He is the man of the house and I am the lady of the house. He is no king and I am no queen. Together we both make a home and we are together in everything. He talks, I talk. He listens, I listen. He doesn't help me in doing the chores. There is nothing called my chores or his chores in our relationship. We do all our chores together. More than love, it is the respect that holds us to...

Old Bank Street, Manchester, UK by R.A.D. Stainforth Come, let us paint a picture together Of you and me and the love we share Walking along a lonely street Hands entwined, the wind in my hair Let the rain cast the perfect spell We shall let go and drown in it That is what your love did to me Consuming me slowly, bit by bit Let us relive the magical days Of the wonderful life that we made  I like the image that we formed You the paint, I the shade Let us merge and yet stay unique I shall be me and you stay as you It is the us that we need to work on Only then to ourselves we can be true Walk with me as we do this Let us come to life with every stroke Get the shape of my smile right As I laugh at your silly joke Glide slowly through the course of life I shall always remain by your side Listening to every word you say With hues that can never hide We do not need any other colors It is just you and me, day and night...

Image Source Today on this cold evening Let us get lost in each other Forget the world and its foibles Holding hands, let us walk together Look around at the world Everything is so beautiful Your loves does that to me Being with you makes life fruitful Looking at us, the sky smiles Bestowing upon me its grace I feel the chill down my spine As you hold me in an embrace Happiness was only a word Until you showed me its meaning All the bad was just washed away With your wonderful forms of healing Let us celebrate everything today Life, love, togetherness and joy They say it comes in many ways But my happiness came in the form of a boy Let us paint the city red With our love and madness We don't have to worry about getting lost In your heart, lies my address Today I can walk all night Your love makes me feel strong The mild wind is calling out to me With you I can walk all night long Let us make a mark on thi...

Image Source I look at you through the fire As my heart skips a beat Your aura is enveloping me Along with this naked heat This camp fire is setting the mood Oh my love, now come to me Ignore this ignorant crowd For once, together let us be Why do you look away I know you feel the same It is about time we accept it I'm tired of playing this game Your chocolate skin invites me I want to feel the taste of your lips Your dark hair is driving me crazy I want to run my fingers on your svelte hips I see the passion in your eyes Isn't it time that we accept it now Why are you letting it slip Aren't you seeing the signs sent from above I have never felt love like this before Life has been beautiful since then Let us have a tale together Our love story I'd love to pen How long before you understand When will you ever speak a word I have told you all that I felt Were my voices never heard I don't kn...

Action Figures by Edith Vonnegut It is not about how you look It is all about how you feel Love is known to break you apart It is also known to heal This emotion can drive you nuts As well as bring you extreme joy It can consume you totally It also has the power to destroy They say that love is blind It can rob your other senses too While you are basking in the colors You will never notice the impending blue Every form of it is precious You may not realize it now But you sure will be lucky If cupid finds you with his bow You cannot escape this feeling It is present all around Be careful whom you share it with You do not want to feel all bound You can hide where ever you want Lock yourself inside with a pet What you do not know is With his arrow, cupid is all set With colored wings it shall come It shall strike only a few You can run, you can abscond But one day, love will find you Written for Magpie Tales: Ma...

Image Source My husband is a super foodie and is one of the most popular food bloggers in the city. Yes, I'm gloating! Everything for him revolves around food and thankfully for him I'm passionate about food too else I would have thought that he was a gluttony maniac. Almost all our conversations are driven around food and since I love cooking and baking, he is the perfect companion for me in every possible way. We love cooking together and travelling around the city in search of hidden nooks that serve some of the most delicious food. My husband is someone who is very passionate about the things he does and respects the things that are important to me. It is never about him or me, it has always been about us. In about two years of being married, he has relished every morsel that I have prepared and assisted me in preparing some too. He is the most important person in my life and is my most favorite person on this planet. I was a narcissist, but he converted me. He came...

Image Source In this boring court room All I see is white and black Screams, yells and accusations With no hope of turning back I was in love with this profession once Then it all became a money game I did not succumb to the pressure of it Because of this I did not get fame I believe in the truth and only that To win I cannot fabricate a lie People have tried to buy my expertise Instead of selling myself I'd rather die And then you walk in one fine day I was supposed to be fighting against you You were calm, composed and restrained Almost like it was too good to be true Accused of killing your man you were His family had hired me for their fight I had all the proofs on my side I knew my facts were absolutely right And yet I was drawn to you Your big eyes drowned me in Nothing of me was left in me As I fell head over heels in sin You charmed me with every word I fell for everything that you said The facts sudden...
