Swaying with wind, the fluttering
muse
You touch my skin, you brush my hair
Eyes are blind yet inside it is cool
Solid truths make marks but,
Why I love just you? Oh wind!
Realms of unheard melodies
Washed colors from the pallet,
circling in the pool of water
The words you never uttered
Why I always read between lines?
Those droplets from leaves
Parting, swaying with wind
Drips with reflections from all-around
Momentary, yes momentary!
And why I think there is eternity,
Profound in between boundaries,
In between endings and openings
A space beyond three dimensions
A place where soul like wind resides
with peace
gathering all its mightiness.
Interesting how some of the same ideas/phrases embroider both your poem and mine--not that there is anything really similar. You give a " A place where soul like wind resides with peace
ReplyDeletegathering all its mightiness."--and this place is between boundaries, beyond all, but when it comes to speak with you with no words it has a kindness, a seeing beyond blindness, a fleetingness along with a promise of return. A very moving piece!
You make a mark with each of your poems ... this poem seems to symbolize lost love, and the quest for it ... very beautifully done !!!
ReplyDeleteA very apt title, Sreeja, to a poem that sings of lost love and the memories. These lines were the soul of your poem:
ReplyDeleteAnd why I think there is eternity,
Profound in between boundaries,
In between endings and openings
A space beyond three dimensions.
Beautiful!
This reads like an intimate letter, or deep musings, and is written with beautiful brush strokes. I especially loved the simple observations of these lines, and how they are so filled with emotion.

ReplyDeleteWhy I always read between lines?'
Sometimes there is so much that is unsaid and has to be read between the lines to be understood and, isn't that a shame when we have to dig far deeper than we ought to, really. I really enjoyed this, it has to be one of your best so far.
What a wonderful poem!
