Words

Hei! You posses me like

The devils that are hard to get rid of

How is it I pay, such a glorious tribute?

To you, for what you make me mean.

            ‘Words’, by what you are named

            Without you, my spirit goes numb

            I go dumb when I am not listened to

            And go mad when I am misunderstood.

You haunt me like the ghost of yesteryears

But coax me with your unfathomable meanings

It’s so hard to get you at times

Yet, I’ve become, a slave to you!

            You’re no doubt, like the ghost of the desert

            The ghost that had seen, the perils of many

            No doubt you seem to linger on

            And deliver the words of ‘Birth and Death’.

Birth, growth, love, lust and death

Blessed and cursed by words on earth

Men, women, adults, kids and old

Nevertheless, lip these words as per age.

Oh! I can’t be at loggerheads

‘Coz I just love the way, you haunt me

Unwilling to leave me, even at extremes

And provide me ‘Words’, till ‘Life’s last breath!’
