Poetry
Together in this
Kiran P. Rao
Woke up thinking that I should give up on her today.
What good has it ever done to me anyway?
Memories of the blurry night that seems to never last,
Till I over indulge myself again yet another day.
How much will it take for me to walk away?
A leap of faith, another sip or a dive into my soul
Does this always have to be so difficult, really?
Whatever it is, the bigger idea is to attain the goal.
Each time I think of parting ways, there it is again
Whispering sweet nothings and promises galore
I told her this can't go on for another day or night
She told me I was right, got swept far away ashore
My love for her cannot ever be explained in words.
After all she is my heart, my home, my own country.
How can I give up on her so easily? Will she give up?
Glistening in every drop of my being, it's some artistry.
Feels like I was born to love her, filled with peace and joy,
We are together in this, you and me forever no matter what;
There are rough patches here and there, but that's alright.
She is my beloved country, together, there's no other thought.
