Cappuccino


Goa,2012
 
With the first sip,

 I found it bitter,

To make it better,

 I added some sugar

and stirred cautiously

 for some time,

In the meantime,

 I lost my rhyme.

:

It was time to indulge

In your exotic flavour 

But when I tasted,
 Let, truth be told
For me , dear Cappuccino,

you had turned cold.           

:

I didn’t have a choice

Either I had to take you bitter

Or I had to take you cold.

So now I leave my thoughts behind

Not to forget,

some habits are old.

:

No, it’s not a blame game

There was a genuine hurt

We all make mistakes,

we all do.

How you take it,

it’s all upto you.
:
As bunch of apologies

float on the surface

I fail to understand

What went wrong that day

Was it wrong with you dear Cappuccino

Or was it me who got carried away?
