Rendezvous
| They must meet someday
Your demons and mine Quietly over coffee they must discover each other Resting their elbows gently on the table In almost the same manner in which we explored ourselves years ago They must hover over each other and share Their secret fetishes for darkness Your demons and mine What makes you choose retreat over passion or passion over faith What makes me read emails that are not mine or slice with words till eyes well up What makes me leave or makes you cheat What lies beneath Your demons and mine Must get to know each other before we are convinced of our own self justified selves They must meet over coffee Naked, unearthed |

This is truly MAGNIFICENT!
Those were beautifully strung words, and such poignant thoughts. I loved the poem....
Quite Wonderful, Arundathi
How often they meet
Your demons and mine
Untamed, aggressive, demonic.
We must teach them
the art of conversation
over coffee
while the cards all lie on the table
for both to see.
We dont want them to die
your demons or mine
but uncloak them we must
lest they cover us with layers
too thick to throw off.
Wonderful way for two honest souls to reach a peace, simple yet difficult to achieve with egos in play.
Wonderful this (and that includes Scribe's reply and your reply to her). Such a pleasure to stumble on it while i was catching up with a month's worth of blogs and mail.
