There! I have lit a star
Beside your name!
I scroll down my Inbox
Where stars twinkle next to you
Every time, every time you wrote to me!
Every little message, every little word
You wrote
Is a thought – of me!
In this dark and silent night
I read you, over and over
And you light up, once again
My room, my lonely heart!
I wish I could make a garland
Of all the stars one day.
I will keep it ready
For the day you’ll come –
Though I know you won’t, ever...

ReplyDeleteBalanji it is as if you have put in my words... I have felt the same way..but never thought of putting in words like that so beautifully :-)
ReplyDeleteIts really really beautiful
@kalpana: NO!Don't let it be like your thoughts! These are the ruminations of a man who have lived much longer! Not the thoughts for the young!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably one of the most beautiful thoughts; and conveyed in a unique way; only you would think of saying it like this...Excellent beyond words...
ReplyDelete@Sandy: While tidying up the Inbox, the idea of this poem came so unexpectedly; before I could control my hands, fingers flew over the keyboard. I let it be, without correcting or editing...
ReplyDeletePeople want to know the 'other person' in the poem. It is not my 'other person', it is the other person of each of those who read the poem...
I am getting suspicious.Did I post you my letters by mistake !!
ReplyDelete@Doc: What's your e-mail id?
ReplyDeleteBala,
