Distant Things
Like the distant sparkling stars
You are, always looking at me
And by serendipity
When I happen to come across you
Your smile sheds tumultuous hues
But to disappear like fugitive dew
Okay, my dear, let it be so
The secrets of distance I only know
Hands are best held when they are miles apart
Balmier are the touches of a distant heart
Oh, distant star, miles and miles apart
Your brief encounters are there still in my shirt
Tightening closeness loosens in some time
Distance keeps up loveliness of rhyme
That overwhelmed us with that heavenly sweat
Last time when we met:
“What do you see when you look at me?”
“From distant love how you set me free”
The distance is no hurdle but a feel so sweet
When sleep eludes me I do listen to your heartbeat
And fall asleep into a boundless deep….
Inside the embroidered steep
Again the tap on the window
In a starry voice of lovely low
“What do you see when you look at me?”
“Those loves in the stars of your beautiful poetry”
