In an ocean of Indian Chai,

In an ocean of Indian Chai .. frothy

In cups and saucers as sailboats to buoy 

With teaspoons of  brown sugar oars..earthy..

You and I ..on an adventure of conversations..Ahoy!

Our naked minds revealing words like cookies soaked in Chai

Chatter.. silence..All our thoughts or lack of them.. 

Comfortably open in an ocean of Indian Chai..

Us.. Sailing away from the world.. Forget’ em..

You , me .. willfully pause for life to stay still…

Yes .. that moment would soak  in Chai

 Fake banter...Real Love...

In conversations …today and happy banter..

There was a question drowned in wine

They asked…What is your happiest moment.. like ever?

You.. Dancing in your arms alone..My happiest moment ever..

In that moment I felt your absence and yet I hid in cheery banter..

I remarked a fake “Now!" and  resumed the banter..

To fake lives..fake conversations and fake banter🥂

To help us survive real love!
