Reason of My Existence

a poem by Rinu M Varghese

For the first time
in years so many
I have seen him
whom I’ve wanted to see
Over the years so long
I’d seen him only in dreams
Not a word spilled
of all I’d prepared for him
For I couldn’t stop staring
which I later covered with a joke
As a stranger he had come
as the reason of my existence he remained
For I still haven’t unveiled
the feelings in my heart – for him…
