Poem by Monika Ajay Kaul
Songs… Unsung..!!
My lucid dreams,
my burning desires..
Did you notice them nearing ?
Your stories of laughter
Your poems of joy..
For me, did you ever wish to recite ?
Did you ever see me eye to eye,
Did you ever hear me murmur?
My unheard songs of silence.
Did you anytime lead my way
or, watched me from behind?
Oh ! The walk with my steps was always prosaic.
My longing perhaps,
was a short breath.. You exhaled.
Blinked your eyes, watching my moist ones.
Pain lost the way back
and smiles left the glow.
My songs…remained my unsung songs.
Never touched your lips.
ah, so deep in longing, great write. i read and recite…
Thankyou Dada. You’re really considerate. I was overwhelmed by your surprise. Made me immensely happy. Thanks, once again :)
