others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

let me

let me slip away
into the shroud of my mother's sari
let me be inebriated
by the breath of an old book
let me melt away
into the meaning of music
let me be conquered
by the chuckle of a child
let me wrap myself
with the warmth of words
let me stray
into the streams of sunlight
