# A Tete-A- Tete Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

# A Tete-A- Tete

Rating: 3.0


when i spoke to you
from my heart
you listened to me with a smile
your reply was from your mind
and that's when our conversation broke

when i speak from the heart
it is like the gush of the sea wave
we cannot draw the waves line
it comes..expresses and retreats
nothing is held back

when you speak from the mind
it is like a flying kite
though a true wind flights it up
it does not say all it has
a pair of hands holds it back

when a mind speaks to a mind
there is only a diplomatic noise
no word spoken is really meant
a conversations never begins even
when just a mind speaks to another

a tete a tete
a heart to heart..conversation alone
truth when facing truth alone
solves and resolves our gaps

nice write! one of my teacher puts it this way, she says that when she talks from her heart, she feels that some of us show that 'We see her! ' its a beautiful feeling that the poem conveys!

I am very glad to read this poem. At this point of your evolution you have caught the right kind of philosophy. Now onwards, don't fall short of this view. You have reached the summit. What more remains to be conquerred? Spread the same philosophy through your poems for a better world. This is all we can do as poets.

Sir your work is ineffable. this is what I have been trying to express in all my love poems. People say they are poignant yes maybe they are but u have done it splendidly. Heart to heart comment this is then sir. Teach me as your own son abt philosophy sir. Abt life i need those lessons, i need them only from you.

Heart represents love. When one heart talks to another heart, that is the meeting point for love and affection between two souls,

Hi Sam...delightful poem. Yes. Heart language is hard to come by these days. The head seems to let the ego take the lead.However, our poems may help enlighten as well as delight.10+++
