On a day like today
when an abrupt monsoon meets
A delighted Sun,
I think of you,
like the dew drops on the petals -
the freshness, eternal.
On a day like today
When my Neruda can sip coffee
with your Joyce,
you come to me as if
memories were more real than now.
They always were, are.
On a day like today,
When the translucent streets of my home
gets wet and hears a tram go by,
your thoughts occur.
I feel you
beyond those concretes and raindrops kamikaze.
On a day like today,
When my words seek no grammar and
chases no metaphor,
I think of poetry and I think
of you.
With or without, I wrote for.
On a day like today,
When I am diseased and all burnt,
I want you to forget me as a season.
We will meet again in summers,
in our little ways, before Sunrise.

Haven't read such a moving piece of poetry in a long time.
Please write more often! :)
As someone as already, said, and stolen the words right from beneath the fingers on the keyboard, :), this is a moving piece of poetry...
No metaphors?
But then they come to you, unbidden, mesmerized by that quill you weild :) They have to, for they know a poet's soul, and in the expression, they must sate themselves.
Kamikaze raindrops. *Sigh* Bliss!
Thanks as always. You fascinate. You fill up empty spaces with your verse :)
Take a bow, my young Philo' :) This is superlative!
Thank you for such an moving 'tale'
I wonder.. how you wrote it with such simplicity ..
The next time we meet.. I am going to kiss those hands which penned it, seriously~!
Savoring it :)
Serene !!
with the sunlight they form a lovely rainbow.
When differences unite to raise our eyebrow
Is a miracle far away when happiness blends with sorrow.
I am still getting in terms with your verses. It is brilliant and steals oyur heart with itssimplicity.
Samadrita, thanks for being so kind. I guess, that one thing I can't guarantee is my regularity. They happen all too abruptly. I will surely try. Thanks again.
Aayushi, you are always present. Thanks a lot for all of them.

Usha ma'am, well kamikaze, who else but you will pick it up. Learned that word from you actually. Thanks for tagging it to FB n Twitter and sharing. You have always been much more than an inspiration. Just thank you for being there.
Venkat sir, though we have discussed, but still, (Most poets try to impress) the unique perspective you bring out each time be it any kind of observation, makes it so special. Thank you!
