Poem In Response to The Gooseberry Garden Poetry Picnic Week ~12~ I Never Wanted to Leave You

This Week, Gooseberry Garden asks all writers to handle cases on Feathers, Fidelity, Figment, and Fables, to write about how they position and add light to our  lives.My lessons in life have been different, man learnt the first lesson from the crow saw how to dig and throw but never learnt respect and the grace of humility and led all mankind to lose the essence of the Supreme Creation

I never Wanted to Leave You

In all my education

I  learnt many things

maps  drawings  and readings

but I never learned the art

 of communication,

I never wanted to leave you

I wanted to say -

but I ended by saying

I don’t want to stay;

I never wanted to leave you, so

I wrote many letters

I gave you envelopes and papers

I gave you pens pencils and erasers

I could have said ‘ I need an answer’

You did write-a detailed in the box

note a ‘Thank You’

But kept it all with you,and even then

I never wanted to leave you.

I ordered  a special pizza

and shared your favorite Pepsi

and told you of my deep affection

But I got to hear ‘you have an infection”

still I never wanted to leave you.

Oh Dear I am a committed person

so many patients  wait in emergency

I need to sleep sleep and sleep

how can I all the promises keep?

Why do you say all this about affection

why do you even send me gifts

why do you wish to see

a small simple person like me?

Oh here is the miscalculation

Now I think I may leave you;

we the semi educated wonderful nation

take all affection as the result of addiction

and I just say that it is there

without the art of communication

'I never wanted to leave you.

I could have said that without hesitation…
