On A Date

 

Oh Shyam! Wake up

It's Thursday 

Go to the shrine

Your beloved waits, midway. 

Last night, it rained

The environment looks freshly painted. 

The trees drop odd drops

Vapor rises from the wet black roads.

It's such a romantic day

Go to the shrine

Your beloved waits midway. 

Get a rose, be an example

From the lady's shop near the temple

Ask the security guard for spare pennies 

Write her a letter for her happiness. 

Also write her a poem, what say?

Go to the shrine 

Your beloved waits midway.

 

Put on the grey kurta, her favorite 

And the green scarf for the heat 

Paint your nails pink, she likes that

Take the tote bag which says: 

Poetry Advisory: Poetic Content

Take a calendar, mark the date

Go to the shrine 

Where your beloved waits.

 

Oh Shyam! Wake up!

It's Thursday

Go to the shrine 

Your beloved waits midway.
