Liability?

I am not
the baggage of your past
and don't make me
Though I may appear
to be lost at sea
You need not rescue me
I may seek what you have found
In celebration, abound
Seemingly so safe and sound
You may think I don't reign my sail
I don't think that I have failed
The waters mayn't be calm today
Nonetheless, I'll find a way
Discover promising lands
far away from your island
of complacency and temptation
Soon to be of degradation
Do not hold my hand
in sympathy
The time isn't right for me
On another day, we shall see
In different places, you and me.

So you both are still not on talking terms.

No comments.

It's not about us..
I'm not very predictable, sorry.

Jayashree Bhat said...

Oh. No harm in guessing, anyway.
Mysterious, aren't thou?

Dhruv said...

That is the intention, yes.

I won't guess at the context, but nevertheless... this is one of your best poems so far, Dhruv.

Dhruv said...

Thank you!
A few more and I can compile a "Best of.."
Lol! Kiddin'

But indeed, it doesn't concern anybody that y'all know of so no sense in curiosity!
