Theme: Intimacy

Now A Stranger...

At my home
now I am a stranger...

'Cutie', the little chirpy parrot
has now learnt a new name to utter,
'Rocky', our snow-white Pomeranian
doesn't jump on to me any more,
'Pussy', the fussy cat now purrs
to orbit her new master,
my little niece now insists
to be fed by her...

The key bunch, mother used to have,
now swings on her waist so tender!

What is all this?
Looks, my sweet thing
has played some magic
to win every inmate,
and I am left as a stranger...

Raising the steps of love
brick by brick
she has reached every heart.
To my younger sister and her big 'battalion',
'She is damn smart.'

I enjoy her sweet conspiracy,
using the weapon of my intimacy
she has made me an outsider
in my own home...
in deep love and affection
when I draw her closer
she runs away chiding,
'No shame, mother's foot steps
can't you hear?!'
