I am a Smoker too

 To cigarette,

I do not enjoy the pleasure of holding you nimbly between my fingers,
But where ever I go your presence lingers.
I long neither for a blissful drag nor for your puffy rings,
But I cringe whenever  the breeze it brings.
I wish not for lungs with coal and tar,
But there is none whom your presence can mar.
I know you burn yourself too,
But why should I when there is better work to do.
I bear not to see your damage it cause,
But.when I think it could be me, I pause.
I know you warn everyone,
But a pity, it is ignored without pun.
I have friends who can give me their lives,
But, you are there as a two edged knife.
I can put my best to save them from you,
But I'm not sure how far it can be true.
I realize the ill effects your company it brings,
But an alarm bell in mind it now rings.
I thought I'll be safe if I spare the puff,
But alas I have failed with a big huff.
I felt you killed the smoker without clemency,
But now I realize you give the bystander no leniency.
I need to hurry I have many a work to do,

But I can never  be sure of completion cause I am a smoker too.

Yours truly
Passive smoker.

My Dear Pillow

The soft touch of your superior quality felt, soothes my tired nerves.One tight  hug and my worries for the day are gone.As I snuggle to you I'm transported  to a fairy world for long. My dear pillow you have been an integral part of my life and of many others.Like many other important things which are taken for granted in life,you were ignored too.But today, I'm going to make amends and give you the due respect and recognition you deserve.This is in your honour.

You have been my solace in many tumulus times .You have been a constant supporter of all my whimsical dreams and fancies.All my little secrets are stored snugly in your belly.You were bathed in my tears of sorrow and pain.When anyone gives me credit for any of my work that credit is to you too. If I didn't have your pleasant company how would I have been able to imagine such wonderful  things.If it wasn't for your such soft comfort I wouldn't have got such lovely ideas and dreams

Life is everything but smooth.For such a tiring journey, one requires ample rest and my friend without how would I have been able to face this big, bad world each day.You have never complained when I vented all my frustration at you. You silently bore all my kicks and blows. You were a part of all the pillow fights with my sister and friends.It was fun for us, but it must have been tiresome to you. but you didn't complain.

You are always ready to be shared, kicked and thrown off. There was an instant when you were nearly ripped off. I was scared that  maybe I had to part with you. But,then with some stitches and patches you were back again to my bedside. I missed you like hell when I had to go trekking to some far off place in the Nilgiris. But all my fatigue vanished when I laid my head on you after 48 hours.

You have been my constant companion in all these years. You will always have a special place both in my bed and in my heart.


P.S : That my friends, was my letter dedicated to my pillow. The pillow might not be able to decipher whatever I wrote.But, then I am feeling good and rejuvenated. It might be your friend, parents or bike, let them know that how much they matter to you. Living people may laugh it off and non- living things might not respond. But you will feel utter bliss.This will be an enriching experince to you. Your senses will feel energized and refreshed.And you never know you might not have another chance to let them know how much you care for them.Go grab this opportunity. It will definitely be rewarding.

And nature spas and clinics feel they are the ones who can provide you such an experience.. ;)
