But life! Oh life! A storm in a cup of tea
We walked out to find a visitor: my spill bee!!
"Oh! My spill bee, what buzz brought you here
Oh! Theres many a slip, 'tween cup-lip, dear
Spill all your tea, but keep my secrets close
Please, my past passion, don't my past disclose!"
She read my thoughts, she smiled with her charm
The gold bangles just adorned her married arm
"Hello Vivek! Pretty surpised to see me you must be
But you know, we both are best friends since class three!"
Ah! I stared into my emptiest cup of tea
There were stains, and dregs and history
There was emptiness, there was only void space
My mouth was still superfluous with the aftertaste
But she was kind, she took my cup away
And winked as she cleared our tea-tray
And turned to spill bee, and smiled so softly
And blurted out my words, with a touch of glee
"Oh! Those real life experiments of my creative aspiration"
Two girls happily clobbering me as amazons in collaboration!
Together we three walked down the stairs
Girls both grinning, and I with red ears
(Our parents were amused, in their duets they smiled
Their dreams were fulfilled, their traditions had survived)
Only I knew what real drama behind scenes had occured
The girls smothered their laughs, I stammered, simpered
Her mother frowned, but aloud said, "She is happy, just"
My mother concurred, "He too never is so joyfully nervous"
It was getting late, we parted, but fixed up an exclusive date
In heart I knew, if spill bee was good, this one was just great!

WHAT WILL YOU GIVE IN EXCHANGE IF I DON'T SPILL YOUR SECRETS?AND YOUR PASSIONS?
PEACE? NATIONAL RE-INTEGRATION?
WILL WARS DIS-APPEAR? WILL CORRUPTION DIS-APPEAR?
WILL PEACE, JUSTICE AND TRUTH PREVAIL, NOT FOR MY SAKE BUT TO CREATE A WORLD OF FAIRNESS.
WILL YOU GIVE UP YOUR BASELESS GRUDGE AND REVENGE ON PEOPLE WHO ONLY IN YOUR IMAGINATIVE MIND WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURES IN YOUR LIFE. IF YOU CAN FORGIVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE WHO HURT YOU, I CAN FORGIVE TOO, AND KEEP ALL YOUR SECRETS.
IS THAT A DEAL?
