And Now You are Going to AskA Poem by KaranAnd now you are going to ask And I'll still be looking for
an answer
Your eyes digging deep into
the soul Lighting up the shallow tunnel They light up the roads i
travel And in them i find countries
and rivers and mountains For the earth is too small for
them I see everything that exists
Just like the splash of water
opens up the foam So does the smile on your face
A dark fragrance lifts up from
the air Roses shy away into the night The land upon which your feet
land Hide the poppies beyond the
horizon For you bring in a new aura Beguiling the moths and the
cocoons And my heart is no less
Jupiter lifts you to the
zenith For he himself is merely a man
A concoction of lilacs, petals
and pearls Made of all the water and all
the leaves Of all the gold and all the
silver Of all the earth and all the
ether What goes into the night and
in the day Dwells within you
Don't leave me even for a day
as i will be alone Like an empty station with
trains parked somewhere else, asleep Don't go away even for an
hour, for it is too long And for the time you are gone I'll wander around the earth Wondering if you would leave
me here dying? © 2014 Karan |
