The sense of you

it comes upon me

like the invasion of evening shadows

when silence surrounds me

and i realize i am alone with myself

and know i am poor company indeed

 

it comes as winds knife

through the ribs of mountain rocks

bringing the tall grasses to shiver

like the departure of lost souls

beneath the faint thumbnail moon

 

it comes with the misty breath of frost

closing the world beyond my window

teaching me of isolation

from the distant glow of lamps and candles

where lovers speak in gasps and whispers

 

from the distant creek comes the sound of water

rattling against stones like kittens lapping

and it comes upon me once again

this consuming sense that has no name

so i think i’ll call it “you”

You're most kind Roshan and I appreciate you visiting my work.

[Anu Biswas]

DrD, I am visiting after a long time. And I tell you this - it is such a pleasure. Like meeting an old friend for coffee. Oh, the power of your words and the beauty of each line. The simplicity that cloaks emotions so deep as to make one cry. I salute you.

[DrD]

I would have answered sooner, Anu, but my reply button wasn't working. Thanks for visiting again.

For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you ..

I am never alone, as long as the sun shines
And the rain falls down
And flowers bloom
And birds sing sweet tunes
I am never alone, because everything reminds me
Of You ..

My heart beats fast as I read your sad lonely words.. You are an artist, painting us a picture of loss and longing, for one that was your everything ..

Touching .. .. Jazz xx
