Dear Sir’s comment in the forum Poet’s Corner – My Own Poems & Quotes)

How happy I am.

Thank you Dear Sir for these lovely words.

CHURN MALADIES INTO MELODIES

Craving was I for a loving comment from you

My heart felt it was long overdue

How could I get my thoughts, over to you

Absurd it would be to send a clue

I patiently waited and deeply observed

If my work was being viewed and ever read

A sign here and there appeared at times

Some wisps some fragrances, felt hinted in quotes and rhymes

My imagination at times went mad and haywire

Read in your words more than that was desired

At times disturbed and wondered, what was I being said

Did you coat the butter on the wrong side of my bread

You wished I could read in between and beyond lines

But all I could do was my heart’s chimes to rhyme

My brain I never used in my heart’s matters

My brain I used to receive degrees and stature

Two lives I live in this one life of mine

To survive, switch roles from time to time

One to please those, I want to keep away

The others are those who recognize my ways

I came in this world just to give and collect love

Once I collect all, I will fly away like a dove

I got what I wanted, for which linked to you, I was too

Yes! I churn maladies into melodies I knew.
