An Evening Conversation [Short Poem]

Every evening is a conversation,

Sun’s retiring talk with a dear tree

“I’ll come in the morn looking for you!

I’ll knock on the doors of darkness with a request  

To let my rays caress with love, your gentle leaves

As they swing with joy, with hope, to see another dawn

Waiting for me to bring that dawn to you

I’ll come, but promise, that you will not let...

The black dusk swallow it all up - every time I am gone.”

~Sam

Intervals of longing [Poem]

Source:www.shalombewithyou.com

 

There are these intervals,
Intervals that appear out of nowhere,
Intervals that suddenly fill in the gaps

Gaps, between those minuscule measures of time,
Gaps that never made their presence felt ever before ,

Gaps that are now, eternal moments of longing

Longing to feel your warmth,
Longing to touch your face,
Longing to let each of my heartbeat become

a witness of your presence,

Because somewhere away.. you too are caught,
Caught in the same longing that those intervals bring,
Caught in those intervals that appear out of nowhere.

Pensive Mood [Poem]

In a pensive mood she stands, staring at the blank walls

There is so much on her mind,

Do not disturb her,

As she entangles herself in intricate thoughts

As the clock strikes twelve,

She watches the second hand move,

From one melancholic day into another

Will this day be any different? She wonders

Will the hollow fill itself as the minutes pass?

Or will she be stuck even today,

Without knowing the difference in the present and the past
