MY SOUL AND I
My soul in an ingratiating tone
greeted me twice in the morning,
Cadging favour? But what for?
Perhaps it forgot to be happy,
Eyeing me on the brink of disaster,
Each moment of my life.
Yet at the close of the day as I took
A bus down south,
To steal a few moments
By the gurgling brook,
Somewhat languidly,
My soul popped up to sit be me,
Narrating its loneliness in different tropes,
Dictions, enunciations!
Solitude is a bliss sometimes,
Especially while talking to one’s soul.
I longed for the sky to turn ashen,
The clouds to throng the horizon,
I wished badly to be drenched to the bottom,
My soul and I!
