Oh Laptop Oh Laptop I Miss You Like Hell

What do you do when your laptop is out for repair, and you, well, miss it's presence? Simple, you create a sad Laptop song.

And, that's what we did. Jyotsna, a wonderful blogger (http://jyotsnabhatia.blogspot.in/) and a super awesome friend, was sulking over her missing baby, and I, the ever heartless guy, decided to make a poem out of it (cruel of me to use a subject of someone's grief as a blogpost I know). However, instead of hurling tomatoes and shoes towards me, she gladly accepted the offer and partnered me in composing this poem (Yayyy!!!)

This is my first ever duet poem, and interestingly, it was written on World Poetry Day (March 21), which makes it all the more special. Some lines are written by me, some by her, and the rest carved by our partnership.

Oh laptop, oh laptop,

I miss you like hell,

When will you, when will you

Again get well?

My laptop, dear laptop

Why did you  go away

Don’t you know oh dear

That being with you makes my day?

That hour when you arrived,

You gifted me with smiles,

We promised to be together,

In journey across miles.

Ah, the caress and the warmth

When I swiftly glide along the keys

How badly, how badly

Those silent tickles I now miss.

The games that we played

All day long

Movies we watched

And all my favorite songs.

Writing the poems and posts

On those lonesome nights

The creativity inside me

Kissed greater heights.

And then came the darkness

Flooding the dawn

My passion screamed tears

My heart thus mourned

I crave to write, to touch

The desire to see you again

Pouring thoughts and my world

‘Cause that’s what can keep me sane.

For you, I’ll wait

My love all day

Come back to me

Just find a quicker way.

Thanks Jyotsna for trusting my insanity and craziness and making me a partner for this poem. It was a real REAL pleasure, and hopefully, there would be more to come.
