TO, MY TORMENTOR WHO DISOWNED ME.

You coax me into
Forgetfulness,
But promise me –
You won’t ever haunt
My dreams.
Give me your word –
I will never occupy
That same corner
And weep again.
That u will never
Be the reason of my
Reminiscence.


I never claimed to
Share your solitude.
It was too precious
That I knew!
Why then did you
Bloom like a heavenly
Lotus on which I sat
Like a solitary muse?
Why then did you
Forge the chain and
Bind my heart as
you fancy.


Never did I seek
Any answers.
I am well aware
of your incapacity.
But yes, there was
Something of yours
That I sought,
The knowledge of
my capabilities, those
were but few, waiting
For your assistance.


Carefully wrapped, you
Covered your wishes.
Denying every intrusion
Into Realms of Desire.
You left me assuming,
Bewildered without surety.
Guilt ridden, I
Plead my case
And coax myself
Into forgetfulness.
Again!
