Words and everything you make of them..

You can't begin to define a word without words
like one can't describe me without beginning with you.
What is a sentence? A jumble of words
What is love? A medley of us
The bond between the two letters in us
Is as strong as your hold on my hand.
A word from you can sparkle my day
None can take it's brilliance away.
When distance and others keep you long,
Some words is all I can give you.
But mark my words, please do
As my words are words and everything you make of them.
You tell me to be angry at you.
I try and try but fall and cry.
But my fall is in love and my cry a letter.
Feel my letter, hold it close
You may just hear it's troubling heart.
Three words, two heads, a lone essence.
I have a thousand things I want to tell
But now I'm at a loss of words.
With just one thing to say
With words, we'll together write a love song
You lip some and I lip some.

17 and counting..

It's exactly 11:01. Precisely 59 minutes before I'm officially declared 17 and sexy(by the Department of Hotties). And it just seized me, IT'S BEEN 17 YEARS. It's the sort of windy stroke that the West Wind( metaphor for birthday) brings followed by the silence speaking, have these 17 years been any worthwhile? (swish)
So I thought I'll try to make a list. Of seventeen things I'm happy I've done in life, that have made my life pretty, pink and prized. Drop in a congratulatory note if I do manage to reach 17.

So....

1. Dated(ing) my best friend
2. Learnt how to dance
3. Endeavored to and succeeded a little in being like my brother
4. Pursued science
5. Have the best memories of family vacations
6. Kissed the rain. Every time
7. Never hurt anyone or at least tried my best not to
8. Loved all my sisters and been the ultimate bridesmaid
9. Started to write
10. Always, without any exception felt bad about lying
11. Learnt to play the guitar
12. Cried in my mother's lap whenever I'm sad
13. Fantasized about love, life and everything nice
14. Forever worked hard and been a scholar student
15. Brought a smile to my parents' lips
16. Made one-in-a-million friends with one-in-a-million beating hearts
17. I still have 59 minutes right?
