TIME OUT FROM LOVE

 

My well-wishers and friends feel
That
I write only of love
So I told myself
I'll forget you not write to you. of you

I thought
I'll watch the Cricket
I saw someone called Sachin
Play and mesmerize
The whole crowd of millions
Just as
So many million seconds of my life
Have been mesmerized
By your love
BEFORE I KNEW.. MY FRIENDS HAD LEFT ME

I thought
I would play Golf
As I took the stance
Got ready for the swing
I looked at the blue moist clouds
The way they would cling
To each other
Something like we did
In the rains. in the spring
MY FRIENDS WERE EIGHTEEN HOLES AWAY..

I thought
I would cook a meal
But before I could open the recipe book
Your smile I could feel
Your warmth could touch me
Your love would engulf me as a dense fog
As the smoke did
MY FRIENDS HAD TO PULL ME OUT
AS THE DISH I WAS MAKING GOT CHARRED

My friends tell me now
To write
Only of love
To you.
Of you,,,
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MADE THEM
CHANGE THEIR MIND
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA...?
