Janani Sampath Poem
Your face beckons me in my sleep.
Like a mirage of passion from last noon’s love.
I reach out to touch you, in dreams divine.
Emptiness all around, wiping traces of you.
Dreaminess clouds images of you and me from last night.
Fading pictures of our love float around.
The eerie silence deafening, gets louder as I look for you.
Grief-stricken I go weak, waiting to hear familiar footsteps.
You call out to me from unfathomable distance.
Or, is it the goodbye you told me when I was asleep.
I wake up with a start, reeling under the nightmare.
Now I think what do I do even for a day without you.

Janani Sampath Poem
Singing alone, on a moonlit night
The streets lay bare, stalked all day.
Painted in myriad shades of happiness and despair.
Tread the path that shouts unheard stories.
Yearning to be heard are strange legends.
Stifled tears of battles lost, pompous laughter of siege won.
Walk the seamless road that takes you nowhere.
Follow the trail left behind to reach somewhere.

Janani Sampath Poem
Me a forgotten poem in a forgotten paradise.
Me an incomplete story in an abysmal world.
Me a spectator in the spectacular crowd.
Me just another face in the infinite crowd.
