odd verse

At one point of time, there were reasons to believe what u said
The words uttered seemed too good to be true
My mind regaled at its possibility
A figment of compelling optimism
Reflection of my self confidence augmented by your desire

The chances of failure were a mere chance
The dances were more real
The trance ever lasting
The fever, the madness , the restlessness

Till, one fine day
With 10 rupees in the pocket
A daring invite for tea
Stuttered responses
The bottom of the cup
The fare, two bucks more than the means
A shy attempt to recover the embarrassment of the chauvinist host
The last tea
Today’s post

On a friend networking site
A fresh invite
Unfamiliar surname
Nostalgia

Welcome to blogalised communes. You write sharp and quite mature verse ... nice that you came out of the closet at last
