“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”

MOMENTS
I remember the time when I Learnt to ride a cycle on my own;
I remember first crush that Ended and all I did was groan;
I remember myself chasing my dreams and fracturing my long bone!!!
Great last poem in the challenge! I remember my first time riding a bike...Those were the days before helmets! I crashed and bumped my head, blood was everywhere. Gotta love childhood!
I really enjoyed reading your posts this month. I look forward to many more. :)
My dearest Janaki, You went out with a BANG!! Thank you for all the support this past month. Also, please don't go riding to break any more bones (lol).
Coming of age is often filled with joy and pain. But we learn what our hearts and heads can't take so when we're older we can attract what we really want. Congrats on completing NaPoWriMo! I loved reading your work this month! :-)
My beautiful Nargis, Wanted to respond here so you could read my thoughts. Family comes first. Take care of your guests and family. To miss you for one day will only make my heart crave for you for the rest of my life....smile.
First times are bitter-sweet :) Hope your leg is healed completely.
