MYSTERY

 

P. Raja

 

How dumb do I become,

when you want me to speak?

You know, my honey!

how I wax lyrical about you

in your absence.

Words vie with one another

to find a pride of place

in my poems you inspire.

But what keeps them

on the leash

when mine meet your eyes?

But can’t you hear, my love!

the music my heart plays?
