Do Not Be Angry



"Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards." ~Vladimir Nabokovar

I've been sampling 
this for days
on and off 
going on a stroll 
coursing the beach 
gingerly looking out
minding like the dickens 
every word and speech.

Tenacious efforts 
you put every time
you're bloody obdurate
so am I
don't try, hurts us both
block it off

before one of us chokes.
Oh, redundancy it creates
drooping me, day by day 
these games of charades. 

Antipathy maturing 
inside your head 
drop it dead
my friend
I' m what I am 
how can that change ?
Both of us 
naive to mutate
let's go on a walk together 
we'll tune our ways
in a way
that doesn't bother.

  1. One never knows which way the rain wants to fall....it gives in. ...to mighty gravity that pulls it along...but then the rain has no choice...but we the human know art of balancing..or... as you say art of tuning our ways...we forge our own paths sometimes parallel ..sometimes cross...

    I like the element of compromising at the end. It helps make relationships more meaningful and to sustain longer! And that's a lovely portrait. Nicely Jyoti!
