A Platonic Affair

Emotional well-being is a challenge

All through my life…

I internalise a lot idiotically,

So I feel things vividly:

I overwhelm and stay tongue-tied

Never express or experience in real!

By choice, I am alone

To be normal and sensible,

With less anxiety and more peace.

My mind is a mighty schemer with myriad ideas;

At times, it swings from the peak of the Everest

To the challenger deep of the Pacific Ocean.

When I am deafened and blinded

With roaring chaos and soaring self-doubts,

Always a Tinker fairy appears to fix me up!

She revs her wings up,

Brings in all nuts and bolts,

Without consciously knowing,

She puts together my broken pieces;

She is my confidant -

She holds all that my diary pages hold

I never give a second thought

While talking to her;

All along, I long to have such a partner.

In the current social scenario

By embracing every possible sexuality,

I regret being a boring heterosexual:

The comfort of talking about anything under the sky

Without being judged…

That's the key to companionship;

I thoroughly enjoy being around my Tinker fairy,

She is perfect for me in every way,

Yet we are born to be straight normal women;

Though it's an oxymoron,

I proudly call it a platonic affair!
