Hello Cloud....
New Delhi/28th May, 2025 (As it rains in Palakkad)
Hello Cloud, I am unable to catch up with you
You drift
afar on winds I cannot pursue;
My feet are chained to earth, yet heart beats true
To sip thy wine from places longings reside blue
Each drop
you spill, I yearn to kiss anew,
A yearning,
a silent bliss, I wish to renew.
But skies
are vast and I am impishly slow,
And you soar where mortal men can’t go.
I called
thee once in gardens drenched in dew
Where lilies
leaned and whispered songs new;
Thou wept a
while, as if thy soul always knew
The thirst I
bore, the ache time couldn't continue
Now, thy
mist retreats from passion's shore—
Thou say's,
“My path obeys a deeper lore.”
O cruel
seraph sailing sapphire seas,
Dost not thy
breast - feel tremors born in encore?
I built thee
altars, knelt in dewy lees,
And drank thy
scent like consecrated seas.
But fate,
thou say’st, is stitched in winds above,
And thou art
torn from touch, though made for love.
So let me
lay down where fallen raindrops still gleam,
And feel
thee near where twilight’s silver edges lean—
Though thou deny me now, I keep my dream
Where fragrant lotus sings thee through heady sheen
And if I
wake to drought or sorrow’s hue,
I’ll sigh once
more to whisper.. I couldn't catch up with you!
