Entering Into A Relationship Poem by samyak jain

entering into a relationship
is verily like
entering into a pond to take bath.

you slowly enter into the pond
then test the water,
use your toes to feel the mud below
try to make sure no thorns to prick,
then splash some water
on your head
to make sure youdont catch cold, ,
then,
take some in the mouth
to know its sweetness,

then you take the plunge.

alas! now where are the ponds, ?
where are your naked feet,
where is the time to stand and stare?

many a time,
you dive headfirst,
and
come to grief.
