Inheritance

Inheritance

My hand kerchief was private and exclusive

Till I got married...

Then I realized my wife has equal rights on it

Few years rolled on...

Now I learn that my son has full authority on it

I inquire myself... 

Did I borrow it from my parent?

My mind melts in confusion…

But Love dissolves all boundaries

Now I gracefully experience the bliss

Didn't understand the transition from "Confusion" to "dissolution" to "bliss"

It feels nice though :-)

Full authority is doubtfull mate.. counters the me-you-our theory :-)

Today morning, My son just slipped his hand in to my pocket and pulled my hand kerchief... I couldn't help but submit to his authority...

Then I realized myself in "role as a son" behaves with same authority when with parents...

Only way to understand all this is Love not logic... confusion rises from applying logic on emotions and relationship...

Probably you will understand this better once you become a father :-)

As supplement to this you can read my poem "The distance"... wrote it way back in 2002...

I am not sure of the son part yet but totally agree about the wife part
