In life pleasures are many,
Some come in leagues big,
Some come in packages small,
The big ones bring gigantic shocks and hefty surprises,
While the small ones are all about smiles and warmth.
Small pleasures are many and my favourite,
A hug from a friend on a day bland....
A kiss from your Ma, suddenly without any occasion,
A warm bath, ready without intimation, after a day's work,
These are small pleasures, of love and love alone.
Finding a chocolate in the fridge, dead in the night for a guilt free trip,
Hearing that one song on the radio awaited eagerly,
Finding that movie so wished for, on the cable finally,
A mid-morning snack so delightful that your heart jumps,
These are a few of my favourite small pleasures.
The laughter of your niece with eyes aglow,
A compliment from an acquaintance so warm,
A funny secret, long lost of a friend, spills finally,
A brush with your object of affection,
Some small pleasures, funny and romantic.
Waiting on facebook for that one wall post from that someone, finally arriving,
A cheeky comment on a picture worth a peels of laughter,
A sad joke cracked in hopes of laughter,
And meeting a friend, lost in the haze, in the cyber space,
Small pleasures, dear and our very own.....
A note on friendship suddenly given,
A smile shared with a friend not expected,
A pat on the back never thought,
A walk at 6 pm around the campus or,
Just a series of text messages in a class bored....
A drink shared over hybrid philosophy,
A bad omelet cooked with the expertise of a cook,
Football played inside the apartment,
Or being caught picking fruits by the neighbour,
Small pleasures... small yet large.
Small pleasures are many all about those tiny sentiments, hidden which are,
They may be small in expanse,
But, smiles they bring a lot and big,
They call on laughter, flourished with hearts alarge,
These might just be small pleasures, but big they are in love and in humour.
