In vacant or in pensive mood,
It flashes upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the smile that plays on those lips
There’s never knowing what’s brewing
In the devilish brain of his
Tis easy to be deceived by his boyish charm
That hides the frenzied pace of his thoughts that alarm.
An entrepreneur, a dirty mind at its best
A fountain of ideas and confidence immense.
A spirit that soars and questions life anew
A do-or-die attitude
That’s my Sidd for you.
He’ll shock you with his indecent zest
The least said about his favourite gesture, the best.
A heart that melts like butter and a tongue that swears like hell
An emotional savant, the quintessential romantic
That’s my Sidd - intense and complicated.
To sweep his lady love off her feet,
New words he conjures everyday.
He promises her the world, but not yet his love
He puts her under his magic spell and leads her thoughts astray
He calls her a doe-eyed lass one day,
A dodgy – woman the next
Likens her growing smile in her dimpled cheek
To a puddle of water rippled by a falling rain-drop
What a smooth talker he is, all poetic and sleek.
He makes faces at her,
Loves to tease and taunt,
Not your ideal knight-in-shining armour
But that’s my Sidd – tall, dark and gaunt.
I thank my lucky stars in the heavens above
For once, for bringing me Sidd
He makes you laugh, he makes you cry
And loves you like there’s no tomorrow
What more could any girl ever want.
Here its the tingly chill in the air,
Orange pumpkins and the mellowing sun,
As the earth envelops itself in a blanket
Rich with colours of mauve, red and gold
And the rustle of the leaves and the crunch of the grass
Of which soon there will left but none.
There the earth is waking up
From its long winter slumber
Preening itself with flowers galore
And the dewy grass and the warm-scented mud
That eggs the heart and mind to soar
Autumn and spring, what beauty they hold
Enjoy every moment of these wondrous times
Let yourself get carried away
Taking in all that the eye can behold.
