An Accidental Poet
An Accidental Poet


Poetic Instincts are not genetic
Nor they evolve with the biological clock
These drop in unannounced and unnoticed
At any phase and any stage in life
Lyrics were never my cup of tea
Poems did not run in my scheme
I had only prosaic view
of the world and its issues in and around
Life changes
Rhythms of life change
Expressions change

There came a moment of reckoning
When the heart got choked with unspoken words
Deep feelings within yearned for an exit
And then, the poet within knocked at the door
Words flowed naturally, like
Drops of tear, when in pain
It signaled the birth of a poet
Eager to take shelter in beats of lyrics
And blare out what choked the veins
