Tea With The Second Man

If I could invite anybody for 'tea for two' today, it would undoubtedly be The man in the mirror I find everyday because:

|| There's a lot to ask about what he did
In this rush, why did he make himself sordid
I'll ask him what he wishes for me in future
So that I could lay myself in his cozy nurture
'Please be my other side always for you're my only hope', I wish to say
This time I want you to answer more than just a monkey play
Come out O my reflection for I wish to find what's hidden inside
I'm longing for a deeper ground in me and it's time I should call you beside. ||

Maybe a tea with him alone will make my second man speak other than what I say
Maybe I'll find what I was made for and what I need to explore ahead today.

Wonderful poem, Rachit! Was it inspired by Akriti Bahal's recent post? I just came from reading hers a short time ago :-)

Whoa! This creative prompt's really brought out your creativity! Apart from the idea of inviting 'The man in the mirror', your own inner self for tea, I loved your choice of words. Some poet, you are :)

Rachit, you know the reason why I always love your poems? Because, I think they are somewhere written for me too.
Maybe I've said it earlier too, but I won't hesitate saying this a thousand times more.

Congratulations on 10,000 views. I felt really excited and happy about it. :)
