A Phone Call

“Sir, Sir, why are you smiling, so happy and glad, If you do not mind to answer my simple query, Please teach me how to be urbane and merry, I am so tired to be labeled as gauche or mad: It is so scary to look at the moon and feel sad! The days are so long and the nights too dreary The comedies too silly, the dramas too eerie, Who would guess that a Romantic soul is bad?” “But my dear friend, there is no secret at all, No mystery in the rainbow for you to find Unless you look inside your own good mind: I have just answered a surprising phone call: It was not Calypso or a holy archangel above, No, it was just the voice of the woman I love.”
