a poem i had penned long back. thought of posting it for you all...

Sonata

On a restless night where the immense sea lay like the dead

Where the moon anchors in shimmer… and where sailors mean - no destiny
I still catch you smile in fore in spite of the silhouette broken -
Only by the song of the wind.


Where space kisses the sea - forever, in an infinite hold
Where only now hasty, now tardy sun can intrude with impunity
And where mariners dread to tread but celebrate with ecstasy instead…
Where nature unwinds with humid fragrance
I hear the hint of your breath, which at once grows colossal.


Where the tides rise in revulsion to silence with rims of silver and shoot off in a cascade
Like the brides possessed - frothing at the edge, to kiss me in a brackish broil…
You shoot through me in a cold spasmodic shiver.


Where the turbulence of the heart is matched only by the silence of the sea
Where seasons alternate like the hermits with miseries and death
And where songs have no meaning and words are for the dead
I sense in your look an urge, which makes me live… forever.


Where existence means an eternal struggle
Where the soul and mind wander like the nomadic tribes
You frolic like the twister and vanish with the wind
Leaving a trail of nostalgic trauma - wounds - which never seem to heel.
