To Dearest, Dearest, Deepa Darling…

a poem by Kalpana Tyagi

I write, you understand!
I trouble, you withstand!
I fail, you fear!
I love, you cheer!
If I am stupid, you are crazy!
If I am a failure, you are lazy!
I am a flower, you are its fragrance!
I am a fool, that you say is lovable to comprehend!
For all passionate feelings, you are in my stride to complement!
When I fall, you help me stand!
Are you a lovely thought,
Or a sensuous reality!
A dream or a subtle feeling!
Deepa’s my friend, forever be like this!
A sense of deja vu for me!
