rishta

rishta
chotha dil
baRa dar'd
dimagh chotha
baat chothi si
sir dar'd e azeem

daur e jadeed
ki meherbani
tylenol 3 ka kar'm

commenting on rishta she said she liked it
commenting on rishta i said am not so sure
could have added some meat
so frail and thin the poem appears
no, no you cannot do that
if you do that you will lose your voice
i do not have a voice, i do not even have words
(this is so true)
but my protestations were drowned
you cannot orphan your poem
now that is a thought, i chuckled
stop that glint right now
i can read you – you'll finish this
or...
it is tough being man, temporal and mortal
and so guile-less to add to the blend
so i followed the glint in the eye elsewhere
immediacy of concerns dictating abeyance
