DELHI GOODBYE

Your dreams are peculiar

of success,betrayal and

fake love

in the corridors of  power.

The long winding lanes

of the old
as complex as human relationships.

The striking fast metro of the new
as fragile and mechanised as new love.

The temples,the mosques
and the fabled sufi
all call you home,
yet the longing in your heart
as strong as of a lonely pebble in the desert.

Delhi goodbye for now
maybe another time
I'll come back
to seek ....
what I leave behind.
