Aparajita Bhattacharjee Poet Rhyme

LONGING

Will I get in touch with you?
Get in touch with the core of your being?
A long lost touch that I so long for--
That now is beyond, the Unseen?

Will I ever see the light?
That used to shine once upon a time?
Those eyes that searched me long as much--
That blessed me with motherly, love divine?

Will I ever see the smile?
That lit your face when I arrived?
From distance long, longing within
To get in touch with your inner hive?

Will I get to hear your voice?
That echoed in dreams I heard at times?
When from you, I drifted apart-
 Those chants and all your favorite rhymes?

Will I ever find you there---
Where none but me can only trace?
Will I ever be once again---
The child you loved, from Divine Grace?

Valsa George March 25, 2024 at 9:27 PM This poem of longing touches my heart's cords! I assume that this address is to someone you once dearly loved but now drifted apart either through distance or eternal parting. Now, how you wish to have a reunion! Very evocative, dear friend!
