The Tiny Delicacy

I feel like an innocent child, again!
Running down the street amid the frosty air

Clutching tight my childhood treat
Oh, I can feel it, warm and gooey!

Yes, a piece of chocolate - a marvellous creation
One that is crafted with memories
Those days of my tender childhood
Those fantasies of my naive youth

What pleasure it was, I wish to relish now
Like the nugget of wonder in my pocket!

And oh, the same rich sweetness
Hugged my darling's apron too
The intense rich aroma
Of dried coffee and cacao
Oh, how I yearn for it today!

While my tongue swirls the sweet sticky treat
The chocolate, thick as heavy clay
Smears itself inside my mouth
Only to carry me away, beyond the heavens
Like the devastating passion she struck in me

While I bite into this sliver of beauty
The crunchy almonds crack up in delight
Like her cute childlike giggles
The treacle steadily oozes on my tongue
Freed from its prison of rich cocoa

Oh, it is melting away
Like the youth fantasies we dreamt together
On the moist grass, under the twinkling stars
Lost amid the lively throng
Never will these eyes lock with mine again
Lest it should leave a tender twinge in my heart

The aroma of roasted cocoa beans
Still lingering on my tongue
The only aroma that tickles my nostrils
To awaken my long-lost dreams
My hopes, my fantasies

What more could a bite of luxury carry?

Baby footprints on time

Hello readers! Here's some really exciting and heartwarming news - Fledgling is turning one! No matter how many things we have done or achieved, those 'first-times' always capture a special place in our hearts. That first-time element is what drove me to write this thoughtful letter to my soul. This post marks one of my most emotional moments, hitting a new milestone with my most cherished partner in this journey, my dear Fledgling. It's been a year since we hatched open, taking a first glimpse of the outside world as soft sunshine peeked in at dawn. Now, before we knew it, we had started flying across the cliffs! It has been an amazing roller-coaster ride this year, definitely not one without potholes and bumps. But the thrill of turning one with something I hadn't even considered urges me to write more and more, as thoughts and feelings gush through. This journey has been a passionate one and we have also remarkably improved over the months of over ...

Turning Terrific Twelve!

Hi guys! I have crossed yet another milestone! Today, I'm turning twelve! From the time I was in my mother's womb till this very moment, these twelve years have been absolutely exciting and adventurous. The experiences I've had have taught me life's greatest lessons that will always be in my pocket throughout my journey. Turning twelve is often viewed as one of the biggest milestones in a person's life (stepping into tweenhood and much closer to teenage) as it is the last birthday one celebrates as a child and also the first one feeling like a tiny adult! Though I like thinking and planning ahead like an adult would, I still feel, learn and create with the heart of a nine-year-old perhaps. The innocence and creativity of a kid is always greater than the arrogant know-it-all attitude of a teen or adult. I definitely do feel much more matured by thought and response today. I have evolved as a person. Hitting twelve, I suddenly feel so grown up (alm...

Simplicity of truth

Hello everyone! Do you believe in miracles? Well, I didn't until last week. So read on to know my story. Just a couple of days ago, I had my first book fair experience and unexpectedly bumped into some of my favorite authors and orators. My eyes scanned every stall for the novels I had listed the day before and for the posters I had wanted for my bedroom. I did manage to get my hands on a couple of novels at Penguin and many other publications but only after a few hours did the magic happen! Notionpress' contest rush notice somehow caught my eye and I instinctively walked in to enquire on that. That's when I met my now-mentor Ms. Meera Barath, the mind behind Mayaakatha, an engrossing collage of thought bubbles. I had no idea she was an author, so I walked up to her and told her that I was searching for a new writer to explore and whether she could help me find some. That's when she took me to the stand where several copies of Mayaakatha were placed. S...
