I sit by my window, watching the world
I drink all the water falling from above
Though not a drop touches my tongue
It satiates a certain thing - a deep love
I see guardedly clad damsels
I see in them a desire to soak
I see racing hearts invisible
I see what the rains reveal
They rekindle something long doused
They whisper to some forgotten shade
They pull without even looking
And I rise from being a Nothing
But when they are gone
I have nothing to watch
Anymore
They abandon me like a door
It's me and the drops again
They trickle down my brows
They all come swift
Intend to become a lot
I recede & remember a fool
And recall her saying of a rule
Her words - "My Love, My Dear
You're doomed to be an incorrigible loner"
Wow!!! Beautiful creation.

Thanks Valli. You're too kind
DeleteThe last lines did it for me. Being a loner makes you write so well :D
ReplyDeleteThe madness lies in this truth - A hundred people ask you 'Why the heck do you feel lonely ?' You look at them surrounding you and feel lonelier than ever.
DeleteApart from that, Thanks Ghazala for your indulgence. It is significant company.
DeleteBeautiful... In love with the first stanza....
ReplyDeleteThe beginning of it all. You like the sunrise of solitude. Wonderful to know that.
