Found this in one of my old notebooks. Written in 2010
A dry sponge that is suddenly hurled into an ocean
A heart that has never been exposed to love, ambushed by cupid’s army
And an embryo turned babe, cries out, its debut into this world
For you never really know you’re living until life marks you
Before it has singled you out and imprinted on you
And bingo! Life has allowed you access into its kingly courts and chambers
But when life once stranger turns confidant, don’t sleep just yet
For there may still be swans and ugly ducklings yet to show
With caterpillars and butterflies yet to be revealed
Who knows? Better play ball
For Sahara did dry up
Cupid hasn’t sworn an oath with you
The stairway to courts may lead to dungeons too
And like Red did realize,
Dear, sweet and old granny may have been the big bad wolf all along.
