LISTENERS
A speaker I have been all my life jabbering away non stop
Amma , Appa , Akka , Athim and Periappa listened as I babbled
At work Bally , Ashwini and Amit chattered away freely
I met my silent tormenter and life turned topsy turvy
His persona cast a spell, my tongue discovered other occupations
I prattled and fascinated my Dad who celebrated the voice he heard
I have speakers in my head who squabble all the time
I consciously try to ignore their presence whether I succeed or not
I am emotionally distanced from the patient listeners who smiled indulgently so far
The pleasures and my pain I share with him first
Today I gushed like old times and a reality check from Amma
She rebuked me unmindful of my solitude and excitement
Reduced to a sobbing state in him I sought refuge
Patient and comforting in the way he always does
His voice and tone reassured me and stabilized my agonized heart
