Reader's Most Favorited Poem?

Readers of my book "Dear Bohemian Man" sent in a lot of messages regarding how they loved the book and the poems. I, as the writer, was curious which poem did they liked most?
There were a lot of appreciation for the poems Seven Years of Him, The Crying Girl, The Sick Need to Win and This Hour. But the most liked one was, poem number 6, Lost Souls from the Part I Days. The poem was loved equally by both genders.
So, I am sharing the poem my readers loved most.


Lost Souls

And the worst part of our romance?
           we never broke up
           we never started
           we jumped right into the mid.


We never said I love you
           we never said I hate you
           we were so besotted with each other
           we forgot to make our promises.


So the continents parted our ways
          and we just watched ourselves disappear
          thin into the air of changing worlds
          till we could no longer define what we once had.


One of my favorite poet, Luka Lesson said these about the poem, "It is straight to the point, not cliche or over dramatic...really powerful."                
And my favorite one?
Well, I love all my poems (being modest) but if I had to pick one, that would be the title poem "Dear Bohemian Man" because it contains some kaleidoscopic truths in few chunks of words and trails and there are lot of secrets hidden between the lines.
If you have read the book, let me know which one made it to your favorite list?

Some messages by readers and their favorite poems.

My Simple Sunday

So this morning I jumped out of bed, brushed my teeth, had three poories(am doubtful about the spelling) and aaloo sabji from hostel mess.
Put on my jeans, tee and a baseball cap, because in Assam even the morning sun burns your skin.
Called my friend. Took our bicycles and rode outside the university campus. We went to buy pork from a junction in the main roadside. (A kg of pork costs Rs. 200.) We looked for some veggies, but didn't found exactly what we were looking for.
So we rode back to our campus. Oh, I love bicycling. It gives me the best feeling and lets your body sweat as well, which is good.
So we reached campus and there is this spot in the campus with a lake and a small white bridge that I love. So we stopped and took few pictures in our cellphones.

The favorite spot! 
By afternoon our pork dish was such a success! And I forgot to take a picture of the dish because it was so tasty!
So that was my simple sunday!

Love,
Subi


Haha, so sick of victory pose but it still creeps up naturally! :)
