Tongue-tied
written by: Aaysid
On the days we feel
particularly dense,
we get roped into talking
about the sane stuff!
All my friends are sages,
but they, too, feel jaded
with the mercury in retrograde
and not realising
that they have run out of luck anyway.
We tsk-tsk our way
out of things that mess
with our ability to act smart
at the spur of the moment.
But some days, we do not
have the words
which everyone wants to hear.
So, beat us to the punch,
and please, you be weird for once!
I am a lecturer in Medical Physiology from Pakistan, but a good part of my heart has always found a home in the written word. I am an introvert; therefore, I draw inspiration for my poems from my prosaic day-to-day life and the books I read. I hope to gather my poems one day and put them into a book that I could give to friends who love my love for poetry.
