Share With Me Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

Come share with me your secrets,
We may find better ways to hide them
In places not yet known to anyone.
Dark secrets we shall keep in places
That is darker still,
They will be the secrets
Impossible to reveal.

Come share with me your thoughts,
I am eager to know your mind.
I am your other I,
You need not conceal anything from me,
Your thoughts cannot be the secrets to hide,
No one can keep them bound,
Not in any dark nook or cranny.

Come share with me your eagerness,
I shall be as eager
To reach the other shore of the deep sea.
We shall remain friends and not cavil,
Put in place our directionless desires,
Lest they become our flimsy dreams
And bother us to no end.

Come share with me your anxiety,
I know something is bothering you a great deal.
Trust me; solve your problems
By applying the mind and studying the situation;
Tell me about your problems,
I will help you solve them, do not panic,
Your worry-lines are very deep.

Come share with me your expectations,
You have measured the path of your life
It is not so very different from others'
There are numerous ifs and buts
Respect them; prioritize them.
Each expectation has its twist and shade
We cannot change the course of fate.
