Back to Black

It was a long time away from you,
So I came back again to explore you through,
A feeling,a hint, a thought and a realisation,
I wonder, if its the mode of self actualisation,
Sometime back, the heart used to beat,
Sometime back, thoughts were in heat,
They multiplied, they reproduced, made me think,
I walk alone, without a coat made of mink!
Sorry that I kept myself away from you,
Sorry that you were here and I never thought through,
But today, its just you, my dear PEN,
& I sit again, not on the perch but in my den,
I've always had you and you never left me ,
Wonder how did I ever leave thee!?
Was it priority or was it just time?
A change in me that never rhymed,
Saw the zenith, but never forgot the perch,
Needed you and I need you so much,
Am proud of you and you believe in me,
So I just came to you, my dear poetry,
Just so you know, you make me extremely happy!
