I have never met you before,
then why do I feel like you are the one, I was waiting for;
You were never
ever part of my past,
Then why presently I feel
as if you are the blood flowing through my body
with the pumping of my heart.
Now I feel
your touch on my face,
sometimes in my dreams
I do get stuck with your grace;
Now I listen
you whispering in my ears,
“Noone can ever make us apart”.
I imagine your face
while looking in to the sky,
by seeing my confused face,
friends do ask me “who and why?”
I explain them with a lie,
that I am trying to see the other side of life
through an unknown’s eye.
when I sit alone,
I draw your face on the sand,
with the help of my finger ;
I come out of my imaginations,
which was forming with my stroke of hand
with the touch of water,
flowing through the river.
I walk with you on the streets,
when the moon covers the darkness with its light
I know you were not there,
still I feel your presence every time my heart beats.
I sing for you
knowing that my voice will never reach to you,
I dance with you
in my thoughts as if
the wind flowing by my ears is playing a tune new.
I do not bother to find the
answer to the question
if I am experiencing an illusion,
or is it real and true?
Now as if my sun rises and sets just by
either seeing or thinking about you.

Your beautiful poem brings to mind Joni Mitchell’s song, “Both Sides, Now:” “Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, The dizzy dancing way you feel, As every fairy tale comes real, I’ve looked at love that way.”
In the same tune, Mitchell sings: “It’s love’s illusions I recall, I really don’t know love at all.”
While she might not know love, I believe love loses its mystery if we try to dissect it … to explain it. Hold on to your illusions. They will become reality. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks a lot Judy. 🙂 I have never ever listen to this song. But the lyrics suggest it must be a rel good one. Let me tell you, I am trying to see love in that way only. 🙂

If you want to give the song a listen, the link is on my post, “Both Sides, Now.” For some reason, it’s been in my head the past few weeks.

You’re right, Arindam. When I hear something beautiful – such as your poem – parts of it do linger with me for a long time. The fragments return to me time and again.
Hope you enjoy the song.

What a poem of longing for that special person. It’s like torture sometimes, isn’t it? Very profound, my friend. I can always count on you going to the deep part of the well.
Arindam
August 13, 2012
No It’s never a torture. When I make sure that it was just an illusion, again one more illusion seems to me as if real. And this process continues. 🙂 Thanks a lot Mj for these kind words.

Jokes a part, I do not know if I can ever be a poet, but yes, I will keep on writing like this for sure, because I enjoy. Now let’s see what coming my way.
Thanks a lot for taking your time to read this one Shanti. 🙂

You have very much to give, Arindam. I hope the butterfly will be landing on your shoulder soon with these words of desire. Can you act as if she’s already here – landed and safe?
Arindam
August 13, 2012
I am actually a good actor Amy aunty. I can act the way you want me to. 🙂 But, currently I am trying my best to make my shoulder strong enough to help the butterfly land safely. 🙂

Beautiful words flowing across this page…this mysterious longing of a love felt but yet unseen.
I agree with MJ, we ‘”can always count on you going to the deep part of the well.”

Hmm! I have to create an Imaginary character to fall in love with, then only you people can see her. 🙂 LOL
Thanks a lot Sunshine for all these kind words. I hope you and MJ both swim well, because you people prefer to go deep part of the well. 🙂
Have a wonderful week!
