In your soup... (Theme:A world without Technology)

In your soup lies my joy!

I do not dare to scream out that point though!

I carefully pureed the tomatoes for your health,

Remember that the stench of garlic promises cardiac health!

I put the pot in low fire and stirred it with so much love,

Because my joy lies in your approval always!

I fried the bread crumbs carefully-

It should not be charred as you will be terribly displeased!

You may choose not to shout, but I dare not read you then,

I will be hopelessly distraught and blame myself for it the whole day!

This is how I make us bond- as you are always busy for me, you say!

No romantic talks! No cuddles or kisses!

I sit in front of you while you watch cricket matches on end,

Or send emails without a pause!

I wait for you to notice my dress or hair,

But your eyes are always glued to more than one screen !

I put aside my work and stirred the soup with care and love,

And served it in the best china,

Placed it at the exact midpoint of fresh floral placemats!

I placed the salt and pepper shakers near you carefully,

And removed my apron and spritzed some body mist!

When you mindlessly sipped the soup noisily,

I looked at your face anxiously for approval,

But you sipped it with an insentient face!

And your eyes stared blankly at some part of the room!

When you got up and walk away, I started gulping down the cold soup,

The one I made for your joy, with care!
