The biggest and the shiniest of fish
swim out of her Nets effortless
The smallest and the stinkiest get stuck
like crabs out of choice
Fragrance of jasmine or roses
seldom makes it to her Basket
ever teeming with thorns, weeds
and flowers long-dead
Lazy stroll under the stars,
Lips met drinking the sunset,
All the unforgettable moments
forgotten, orphaned, left uncared
Weeniest of mistakes,
sharpest of regrets,
each jab and every jibe unmeant
She treasures and covets
The cruellest of tormentors,
Vilest of tyrants,
Most diligent of termites
to hollow any relation
Keeper of nightmares,
Most brazen of intruders
to gatecrash the dreams
dreamt with open eyes
Oh, beloved
Oh, gullible
fiercely guard
your Present and Future
from memory's bias
