Bridge, Trees and A Hug So Tight

Image
By

Some wait for the spring,
Others walk barefoot on a hot summer day.
Unwary of the season, I sit under the same tree,
Since you went far far away.

The bridge is covered with snow now,
Like memories, tears too have iced up.
Heart is numb with endless pain,
Merely longing for your gentle touch.

Wish the twilight moon takes my message,
Wherever you might be.
Someone who loves you so dearly,
Is sitting under the same tree.

Come, sweep me off my feet,
Pour passionate kisses till I say so.
I wear your favorite dress on most days,
The one with pink flowers and hint of indigo.

127 days so far, I count,
Morning, noon and night.
Since you wrapped your arms around me,
Bidding goodbye with a hug so tight.

    Ah! Beautiful. Love, in the backdrop of changing seasons. Change of seasons signify so much - time, state of mind,- or the lack of changes. It's a naturally beautiful analogy.

    You are entering the realm of the darkside- love, relationships, loss etc! I
    love it :)

    P.S. This picture is Hoboken River Front , I believe

      Oh Boy! Third comment on the same post! How come in this time and age, you can't edit a comment? Baffles me...

      Anyways, on a last thought...this poem reminded me of my own lines from a poem..thought I would share :)

      आज कह दे कुछ ऐसा कि ख़ुदा भी मुस्कुरा दे
      जिसे सुनने के इंतज़ार में ना जाने कितने मौसम बदले
      पतझड़ के बाद अब हमारे दिलों में भी तो बहारें खिलें
      जीवन का यह अंतिम संवाद सा लगता है
      क्योंकि अबके हम बिछड़े तो शायद कभी ख्वाबों में मिलें....

      127 days represent guilt. I am reading a friend's novel and from past two weeks I am on page no. 127. :P I guess, your guilt reflects in your writing.

      Beautiful verse, Prateek. Keep on sharing and many many congratulations on the sixth anniversary. And I am not sure of the picture, sorry.

Being Human

By
Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

By
Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

By
 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
