I am not writing to you anymore
I wrote in words, in verse
however terse,
or out of shape, I opened up.
I gave us names, in hope
let my ideas elope,
into fantastical lands afar.
I painted hues, in time
borrowed, a crime,
from others who demanded more.
I dressed up, crossed cities,
booked a bloody restaurant too,
just an okay, so few?
what gives you the right!
to be miserly with words.
I am not writing to you anymore.
--
I breathe a sigh, heavy air
sit on a rickety chair,
look up and look kind.
I want say, slow and less
is a caress
of a different paintbrush.
I did not write, or fly
a solitary, mundane, hi
I agree, is a weak stand-in.
Though in thought, and in mind
of an uncountable kind
you have lingered
like clouds on the Kanchenjunga.
seen from valleys of Darjeeling.
I wish you do not write to me anymore.
You make me write, for you, instead.
