Voice Of My Coffee Mug

I gave you comfort

When you were lonely

I quenched your thirst

When you were thirsty

Be it books, be it friends

Or be it conversations

To you, I was the central attraction

Dreamy days passed, sleepless nights faced

I was there with you in each and every low phase

You used to hold me like your own baby

At times, I came first in comparison to your hubby

Conspiracy you planned, secrets you whispered

I listened to it and never did I share

You wrote poems and prose

I stood by your side, the evening when the sun had set and the morning when the sun rose

Always have kept you on your feet

My taste matched yours and you have always danced with me for every single beat

The scent of me you inhaled

That gave you enough spirit whenever you tried and fail

Sometimes black, sometimes bitter, sometimes sugary or sometimes with more milk

Every time you poured, I kept silent and never did I sulk

Jokes that you cracked with your pals,

I often gave a smirk and a hearty laugh

When the rain gods showed mercy,

You took me in your arms and wrote endlessly

Your verses got better and better with every sip and lick

Today suddenly where your emotions towards me hid?

Now that she arrived, you have abandoned me

May be my colour has faded or maybe I have grown old

But I am still ‘Me’ and will give you great company

Because of me, your ideas get sold

I solemnly listen to my equal jump in joy

I did not come to your life as a toy

Listen to my emotions, wipe my tears

Embrace me and Treat me like your peer

Love and warmth, from you I procured

I always have felt secured

Today I wait patiently enough

For you to lift me and say to me that I will always love you that our relation is solid and tough

Today I wait patiently enough

Today I wait patiently enough.........
