yet I never
learnt how to sleep
for its
dreams of the common normal
to waste time
on money and gossip.
You kept me
hungry half my life
but I could
not learn to fast, my love,
for prayers
or appeasement of deities
as I don't pray any God except you.
You made me
a workaholic
yet I never learnt
how to please, my love
any other
boss except you - whatever
be the
season or year I worked for you.
I don't see
you, never feel you
against my
heart, yet I never learnt
the desire
to beg of you anything
my love is
the ultimate in life's journey
in the here
and hereafter.

You made me work like a prisoner
yet I never learnt how to please, my love
any other boss except you - whatever
be the season or year I worked for you.
I don't see you, never feel you
against my heart, yet I never learnt
the desire to beg of you anything
