Shakespeare

every word he spoke
was dipped in conviction
every nuisance of the body
spoke of his resolve

he sat on the other side

the questions rolled
and he matched each with equal grit
said shakespeare remains
his all time favourite
no, he didn't say a word
about milton...
said he's marvelled
at the deepest perception
of life that he found
in the great bard and
quoted some pertinent lines
to validate his statement

at the end
i walked to the other side
to give him a warm hug

he reads only
the alphabet of two languages:
of touch and of hearing, you see

'i missed you in life, '
he gently whispered into my
deafening ears...

and walked away...
