My Guru forbade me
To touch you, ever!
But I was allowed to
See you, talk to you,
Stand close to you,
Less any maneuver.
So did I do, got close to you
And talked my heart out.
Didn't touch you,
Though I wanted to,
As you kept smiling at me
All throughout.
My Guru forbade me
To come near you and
Stand close.
But he gave me an allowance
Of just a yard's distance,
From nose to nose.
I was still much happy
As I could communicate
Audibly and visually.
But my Guru was not willing
To allow a romance so thrilling
To go on indefinitely.
Finally, my Guru forbade me
To be in your proximity,
Even to see you from afar.
So in my dreams I started
Seeing you as I wanted,
With no Guru standing near.
I like this its lighthearted and forbidden fruit is always tempting.Nice poem Khairul enjoyed reading.
so tempting.......................as if something is better than nothing
We are still paying for Adam and Eve's transgressions. Better safe than sorry. All of us have temptaciones and we cannot blame the serpent all the time. Your poem is so explicit and flows beautifully making us feel your sentiments so vividly and well expressed. You captivate the reader with your poetic blend.of give but can't take. Very good work.
Fantastic poem, but a humorous one too. Though this poem looks humorous, it has a in-depth meaning. My Guru can be taken as ones inner feelings. Initially Guru or my inner thoughts draw a line...but as the time went on, the person feelings changes. I think it this way....Comments can vary from person to person. I really loved the way you presented it.
@Violet Winters I really liked your thoughtful words, so beautifully spoken! I am glad to know you liked my poem. I am truly inspired.
Now, this I really liked! Benign defiance... always better to ask forgiveness than permission and love is always a forgiveable offense.
@ Amitava Sur Thank you very much for reading my poem and sharing your thoughts. Yes, grooming is very important in one's life. You've rightly said so.
A nice penning expressing the state of conscience. Khairul - personally I believe... that person is fortunate enough who is properly groomed. This grooming itself guides a person to build his/her conscience. Ultimately...... you are the Lord, you are the slave of you yourself

Khairul, I simply loved this poem...Forbidden things have an appeal of their own just because they are forbidden...
