I sometimes wonder
If all words are like small standalone islands
Yet a sea of poetry held them together
Why has their depth to be measured evertime one wrote ?
Like the many petals which drape a flower's heart
Knowing well that fragrance can't be kept captive
Like those unsaid words
Which resonate in my dreams
Flapping their wings in the blue infinity of life
Why this urge to walk on your shore alone ?
When you have never lamented your loneliness
Why did you tell me to keep my dreams alive then ?
Does the rhythm of your flow never care to stop even once ?
To measure the ripples my heartbeats make
Every morning I drown myself into you with the sunrays
And wait for your broad, smiling waves to kiss my lips
I wait till the night suddenly swoops down on the earth
And you part your curly, black hairs to whisper into my ears
'Come .. for once let me flow with you
I'm tired of flowing in the direction of tide
Of changing my mind everytime with the seasons
Come if you rejoice in becoming lonely with me'
Ignoring the sudden twists and falls of your mind
The storm in my heart .. the fear of erosion of emotions
I pull the oars of my boat determindedly towards your outlet
To write your poem of union with the sea again.
