Of love and life...........

It isn't in the
hundred promotional mails
in the inbox
or in the
swanky résumé

look for it
in the bank statements
credit cards
jewellery boxes
and you shall fail

those endless piles
of books accumulate
only dust
and the musty smell
of time

that elusive slippery thing
popularly known as LIFE
is out there
in the smile you wait for
in the voice
that calls your name
with love

capture the moments
in the soft velvet of
memory's treasure box
and then let it all go.
