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.

Interesting.
ReplyDeleteLike two people in dialogue but not listening to each other.
Like two monologues, but not so much as monologues because they're falling - the words are falling - into each other's arms.
So its like a sly trialogue that works only when a third person - the silent reader - hears it.
