Kissing Onion

Oh onion,

Your scent is inviting,

Wearing layers of clothes

Of emotions, of mysteries abound.

So hideous, I thought-

To protect?

You got my curiosity stirred,

Drew my soul near;

As I am peeling off

Marvel slowly unraveled,

Welling up my eyes at intervals-

In my tears I found pleasure;

If only I’m determined enough

To persevere until the end.
