the surgeon to whom I owe my life
our eyes didn't meet, our lips didn't touch
there was no magic that danced about
we didn't fall head over heels in love
neither did we make passionate love under the moonlight
ran off hand in hand into the sunflower fields, we didn't
happily ever after wasn't our end
yet here I am, thanking you for making me rise in love 
With the person behind this facade
for being the unseen hand in this self-discovery
an invisible force behind this metamorphosis,
oblivious to the tempestuous squall inside.
Waiting on you was never my plan
but coveting you was my heart's desire
drowning in the pools of your livid eyes wasn't what I had in mind
but from icy depths of self-imprisonment you had me discharged
Saved me from the demons inside
You go on as you always have
Ignorant to the sentiments you've inspired
I watch as you turn around that alley, smiling
Into the crowds I vanish once again
Renewed. Revived. Resurrected.

Has Anyone EVER...?

"He has this power. He reminds me of Sirius Black from Harry Potter. The adult with the heart of a child, and mischievous eyes, roguish face, charming smile and disarming voice. He has a magnetic personality. People are drawn to him. They trust him, immediately. He’s got an artist’s touch. He treats everything he touches as if it is the world’s most beautiful sculpture. He makes me laugh and All the tension and madness from my whole day just melts away. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about it. How do you stop yourself from falling in love with a man you dont spend each day with, but seem to know every turn in his face and every emotion behind the voice. Tough internal battle, I’ll tell you that :)" Has anyone ever loved you so much that they would set the whole world on fire if they saw tears in your eyes? Has anyone ever loved you so much that they would live their entire lives just with the memory of you? Has anyone ever loved you so much that they would go through all

Chimichurri Heaven

“Three bunches of parsley?! Three huge bunches!” I cry out in disbelief from the mudroom. My tone seems to have no effect on my husband who casually strolls his way in my general direction. “Guess the shopper isn’t a culinary master like you,” comes his reply. We both burst out laughing over his weak attempt at wisecracking. Although I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with all this parsley, we were grateful to our shopper for replenishing our essentials. This was the first  time we had scheduled a grocery delivery instead of shopping ourselves. Also, the order was for three bunches of cilantro (haha). As I vigorously washed my parsley stockpile, I knew there was only one thing I wanted to make with this beast. And it would also give me the opportunity to use the fresh oregano from our herb garden. A beloved Argentinian condiment. And one of our favorites. CHIMICHURRI. No visit to a South American restaurant would be complete without us walking out with containers of this cheri

Advance Mother's Day Wishes

MOTHER:  " A  mother  is a  biological  and/or  social   female   parent  of an offspring. Because of the complexity and differences of the social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is challenging to define a mother in a universally accepted definition." - As given by Wikipedia "It is challenging to define a mother in a universally accepted definition..." You bet!!  Mom, Maa, Amma, Madre,  Mère ... "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet." Its pointless for me to go on and on about how special Mothers are, or how fulfilling Mothers make our lives because anyone who has ever come across a Mother's Love know the feeling. At the risk of sounding cliche, Let me tell you that I've the best Mother in the whole wide world (yes, yes..each one to their own :D). When God made a Mother, He made her  strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet made her arms gentle enough to give comf
