For Better or for Verse

When I can speak in verse,

Should I even try to converse…

Without a line that rhymes?

I imagine it to be fun sometimes!

The Golden Gate

By Vikram Seth

All in verse

You may call it terse;

But I felt immersed,

In a sea of poetry,

As pleasurable as coquetry.

Always been a dreamer

Thoughts as slow as a bobbing steamer.

Faraway, lost, often in paradise,

Still real, almost never in disguise.

I paint my words in a myriad hues,

Often get lost, despite the clues,

In my head, while in bed,

So still, seem often dead!
