Alphonso

She loved them,
Mangoes
Had one last night,
And smiled,
Didn’t taste like before,
Without her first bite
Did she make them sweet?
I know she did.
Its that time now,
The same season,
Without you ‘alphonso’

CasperBABA... mangoes??

aria said...

I've never had Alphonso.. for that matter I don't like mangoes ..

but why am I telling you that ..
perhaps coz this poem is more about feeling the undercurrents and not saying much ..

Hum ke Thehre ajanabii itane madaaraato.n ke baad
Phir bane.nge aashnaa kitanii mulaaqaato.n ke baad

Kab nazar me.n aayegii bedaaG sabze kii bahaar
Khuun ke dhabbe dhule.nge kitanii barasaato.n ke baad

- though the above were written by Faiz in totally different context but then oit doesnt stop me from quoting here:)

It was all that you said... but it seems i'm getting it better after reading all the comments :). May be this was for the fact I don't know what Alphonso is :P
