Mamta Agarwal - ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! In your shoes..! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

After I laid my heart bare to you,
When the logs had almost burnt out
You calmly said ‘you got your dues’

I felt like a child chastised, ' how can you
Pass judgement'… but you just did,
Well ensconced in your new shoes…

A tall stem of yellow lily in my vase
seems to say forgive and let go,
sorrow shared is not always halved.
