U tiptoed in my life quiet and calm
New place to adjust and find warmth
Your shining contour gleamed so bright
Connection with U was a super delight
Me just stared you from afar
A little hesitant with confused altar
I wished a smooth journey with smile
Shared my lonely stories with pride
U always attracted and called many times
Soft and resonating your speech like a chime
U too had much to share and showcase
Colorful stories from past and present instance.
That cupid bow atlast was struck
Channelled me to new woods and husk
Me slowly gathered courage to sit near you
Dwelled in talks that seemed magical hue
Slowly I drifted away from the outside world
Only resonated in my mind were your musicals
I often laughed and cried with U
Found solace that was overdue
U Me U, we make a great pair
My TV you transported me in your glare
to a world that looked so fair
I left all my worries for you to take care.
In life, sometimes what we need a deviation so that when we bounce back to carry on life with greater zeal. And at times, we do not want all the learnings or teachings, we just need a detour so that we can listen to our inner voice, and a piece of entertainment can do that. A TV airs diverse subjects, it gives you answer, sometimes makes you smile or it can happen you watch a show/movie and let all emotions outflow through tears.
At times materialist items can also give you a quantum of comfort to rejuvenate in roller coaster life.

Actually you are right buddy, a TV indeed is v under rated, it does help us by deviating our mind from every day worries.
ReplyDeleteThough we call it an idiot box but sometimes it can do wonders. I agree it sometimes helps to reduce stress by distracting us. Very well written.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful theme you have chosen! Loved the simple lines that resonates with most of us.

Very well narrated, sometimes relationships beyond human touch are important for survival.
ReplyDeleteVery true and I must tell you that reading this poem of yours will surely leave a smile on everyones face. Wonderful use of the theme.
ReplyDeleteThe importance of the existence of TV in our lives, is well penned by you both. I was so engrossed and eager to know that second U of your life, and trust me it brought a sweet smile to my face. Well said, No one wants teaching or preaching every time, a little fun or just changing the channels sometimes play the role of real stress buster.
