... RHYTHM N BLUES ...

Sometimes an epic moment of our Lives,

Saves us from the daggers and Knives.

It introduces the success of a Journey,

Which doesn't necessarily mean Money.

A pair were born to a peaceful Couple,

Not the only kids, but arrived as a Double.

Grew up in a below the average Family,

But contentment was our sheer Remedy.

Loved English right from the early Days,

Just became my favourite in a few Ways.

Had a flair for drawing and painting Too,

But lost touch at first, couldn't keep the Two.

Simply slipped away due to Discouragement,

No mentor to stir the needed Enlightenment.

So, left the channel for the commercial Field,

Still, somehow literature became my Shield.

Then after high school the comparisons Began,

Intensified due to the results of our final Exams.

I had to retake mine, due to all these at the Time,

I was troubled, the situation was as sour as Lime.

So, I had to seek a way to fortify me and be Better,

That's how I mistakenly stumbled on gift of Letters.

I composed the first and showed my twin Brother,

He read it passively, then I left and wrote Another.

I was a shy person, but writing gave be the Courage,

Not knowing there was so much waiting in Storage.

I grew listening to songs of 80s and 90s on the Radio,

Especially RnBs played from the cassettes of the Stereo.

It was the summer of year Two Thousand and Four,

When all these hidden grace simply came to the Fore.

Yet, some tried to dissuade, but it stuck to me like Glue,

It became my inspiration, the beauty of Rhythm and Blues.
