Every syllable
That escapes your lips
Is a note intangible
That rises and then dips
Making ripples in the air
In which it resounds
Gently ruffling my hair
And grazing fluid grounds
Before it ricochets
Off the highest wall
And staggers and sways
But prevents its fall
Only to find a place
In my heart’s realms nigh
Where it’s kept with grace
On a pedestal so high
…that of love…
And while you’re not here
Like a lilting tune
These notes, they still adhere
Spelling out a rune
That you will soon return
This vow they make to me
So I wait for you and yearn
As these floating chords I see
Urging me to dance
They hold my hands and smile
And slowly I advance
Into a musical mile

And slowly I advance
Into a musical mile
This line, Kavita, gave me a spark.. hopefully it will turn in to a poem for Sunday OSI Prompt of Carnival… do lpeep in there..
I loved reading your poem..
And I wish to thank you for your visit and your comment and the honor you gave me.. I would cherish for a long time to come.. the poem that I wrote.. just flowed.. but I agree must have stemmed from subconscience mind.. somewhere something some craving could have got stuck like a dot which must have melted… God knows.. and well it’s alright for us the courageous ones who express..
Kavita said:
You flatter me, Rameshji.. I am truly honored that you liked this piece so much.. thank youuuuu !!!
