Let’s talk, let’s open our hearts out to each other and talk <br />You may laugh at this plea, at this suggestion you may balk <br />You might scoff and tell me, “You’ve gone mad today.” <br />But reflect a bit and you will find many things to say <br /> <br />Come hither, and let us bare our sorrows to each other <br />So that we can feel lighter and be not in a spot of bother <br />Good or bad, let us talk about our dealings with life <br />It’s much better to be open than be cut up by tension’s knife <br /> <br />I don’t care whether you are friend or enemy, or what’s your background <br />In the vortex of worldly relationships and people’s moods, I’m not bound <br />For each other, we are just voluble speakers and patient, well-meaning listeners <br />We can remove the burden of sorrow, or else our hearts will ache even worse <br /> <br />You and I will discuss many things, and give each other advice <br />Maybe we can do all the talking-listening over drinks and fried rice <br />Who knows, maybe we will become bosom friends <br />And in the future, this friendship will pay rich dividends <br /> <br />You may want to praise me, scold me, abuse me, tell me I’m bad <br />I wouldn’t get angry, or get into a brawl with you, or feel sad <br />It’s better to take out all the misunderstandings and ill-feelings in the heart <br />Maybe it will help us understand each other better, instead of driving us apart <br /> <br />Maybe you do not know, but it is extensively proven by history’s pages <br />Due to lack of communication, wars and fights have occurred for ages <br />Even in this day and age, battles and more battles are still being fought <br />As all attempts by warring parties to talk to each other have come to nought <br /> <br />Let’s talk, let’s open our hearts out to each other and talk <br />It’s better to be garrulous, rather than be silent as a rock <br />When you will open up and say things, a dime a dozen <br />You will then enjoy life and keep considering this world as heaven<br /><br />RONY PATRA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-s-talk-2/
