When I stopped on the street and your music played, my love!: A poem 

I stopped with a jerk on the street! 

My heart was sinking, but my soul upright! 

What realisation made me feel such grief; 

you know, I can tell; and I always have the means! 

A lion suddenly materialised and began 

playing the violin for me. And I envisioned a  

tiny tenderness and an expanse of love 

as if the grief of forsaking transmigrated 

every cell of my anatomy; a structural 

disorientation suddenly falling into place. 

It was the sweetest music I had ever heard 

There were too many harpsichords of the heart 

sent aflutter with the harmony of melancholic  

melancholy. I have always been a miracle worker, 

but not such a marvelous musician! This messenger 

that I suspect was sent by you; to bring back 

all the memories of an everlasting remembrance 

superimposed and suprajuxtaposed on my soul! 

Picture postcards from one infinite haloedness 

to another. And I became the Knight of Guinevere! 

You can see this stature is above all knights; all  

heroes of mythology. And then I realised my  

beautiful baby girl, Jashmina: It is not your  

deceit or treachery; but that of the ones that 

perpetually seek to bully and compromise you!
