Poetic East...: Soothing Tharoor


Soothing - Tharoor


To many thoughts, faces & sights
Languages, states & souls
All gathers & camped in a dome
In the city of cultural capital
To hear the voice they aspire
May have read him, heard him
Somewhere to behold his persona
Some to know his charismatic pen
Children’s mind looking up to him
Adult agendas to share on facebook
Some will take the signature on books
Some will take home pictures & smiles
Suddenly the wait was broken with uproar
A smiling face with a humble gesture enters
A lovely ‘Namaste’ & pretty better half
Standing ovation for the grand entry
Although we Indians have IST
Which we all know Indian Stretchable Time
A humble apology echoes the Dome
Silenced by a thundering yet soothing voice
The Writer, Minster & Husband Shashi Tharoor
Thus begin a day of night at shjibf
.
........................................................................
This Poem was written Before & after Mr. Shashi entered the Auditorium
at Sharjah International Book Fair.2011, Sharjah UAE ( #Shjibf)
