Snipped

Snip Snip Snip
Our delicate red threads

They recklessly cut and pick
Like wrists without kalava*
Faith didn't cease
To tie us together
Cotton strings we didn't need
Said my mind
In my mistaken thought

Now you pass me by
Like strangers we always were
As They wanted us to be
But there was a time, loved one
When you and me
were more than just

forgotten blood


*kalava= thin red thread tied on the wrist of the right hand after the performance of a havan, prayers said beside a Hindu sacrificial fire, for all those present

Sometimes it isn't the medium or style used but the expression in itself. That's my way of saying overlook my (in)ability to write poems. No I'm not fishing so don't feel obliged to like it, save it for something that truly is

Confused: ahahaha

But you forget - making people laugh is much more popular art -especially as a professor [which you may end up as]. I mean, wicked professors [to-be], such a rare breed =D

as a person who zimbly cannot write poetry,
I must say that I will be first in line to buy your poetry book!
And I will 'spend' money for it, instead of wheedling out a free copy from you!
