Beloved…
Yesterday,
it was another moonlit night,
so was today…
and many a days…
it held the moon closer to its bosom…
in response the moon shone a bit more brighter…
I sat down before my poor cottage and thought of an impossible…
my love lorn heart at times dreams off…
I wished to have you near me…
no not with love or twinkle in your eyes…
not even words…
I just wanted you to share that moment of ecstacy with me…
just letting that moment melt into my soul.I only wished that wish…
alas… dreams are not reality…
at times I really wonder if I can actually share that moment with you…
but whenever I think about you…
you are never there…
all I do is hug my fragile body and watch the nights
changing into days and days into nights…
it happened yesterday, today…
and I am waiting for tomorrow…
no I am not complaining…
for I am asking for something that was never mine…
but at times my lonely heart questions…
can’t I ask for a bit of happiness, I want…
what if I become a bit selfish,
and have a desire to love someone more than myself…
but its only a desire and not a want…
I do not ask for your love…
its not mine…
not your life long companionship…
all I ask you is to let me love you,
and stand by you today unconditionally…
let me love you today all I can.
For tomorrow comes an unseen future…
the wind might break my castle…
the storm my fragile dreams…
the society might cage me and ship me to an alien land…
where I might be bonded for life
but at that moment of distress and agony,
I can feel the breeze of unconditional love…
that will flutter in my heart and will go down my grave…
just loving you once will be enough for this lifetime.
P.S. – I will love you even after death… may be better then.
