Amidst a world of differences
Between you and me:
I wonder how is this feeling,
a divine wish? as my soul makes it to be?
Or is it just a
figment of my imagination?
An illusive dance in my head?
A play of my whims and fancies?
that baffles the beliefs of my existence?
This path is but filled with despair.
But, do you know what gives me hope?
This is a love that refuses to die
The shattered pieces of this heart
Is ready for more, for this is never
About me nor thee
But about itself, I’m afraid
it would strike
you
As it did to me,
one day!
How are we on the same path!
if our destinies are to be different?
How can this be a different fate?
If you and I breathe
the same Zephyr ?
of everlasting love?
Let thousand storms
Shatter this dream.
Won’t earth stand its ground?
Since this love is the elixir of my life.
If you get to see me
At the tragic end of this story.
Come over to my grave.
I’ll hand you over
The secret potion of this love
For I know it belongs to you.
If you get to see me
In high spirits of my senility
Come over to my home.
Won’t I make you tea?
For we shall reminisce and rejoice
In the warmth of this love
In the winter of our lives.
Until then,
I’ll pass through all dark nights
Like a hermit in a hinterland
Looking for my moonlight
Like a sky on a no-moon day
Yet, my earth doesn’t lose patience
Nor does my sky collapse
I’ll carry you in all my thoughts
In all my tears and dreams….
Saravanan
