The Cargo

a poem by Sidharth Kumar

Seems like a polished morning today
The air galling in my dry hair
Uttermost special in this rain soaked mud
Making me feel a year older
Endowed with wholesome gifts my room
Sent by comrades and fellows
But my heart won’t carry by myself
Not until I finish
Unwrapping the Cargo of her Love

Beaming isn’t the day but my destiny
All to have witnessed the crimson love
Hidden beneath this cargo
Locus of all feelings and emotions for me
The one you prepare ‘n’ ship across miles
Year after year, more dearer
Can’t preen today all that long
Not until I finish
Unwrapping the Cargo of her Love

Magic more virtual than this fragile box
Subtle for ones who fell under its load
Not as hard to carry, not as difficult to think
Giving you immense gratification
When the one you desire isn’t seated next to you
But residing in the homes of your heart
Swear this day wont fade so soon
Not until I finish
Unwrapping the Cargo of her Love
