Distance

Separated by a thousand miles,
Treacherous seas and weeded isles
Talking of the night dark and days sunny,
Not allowing distance to have the hegemony

As the longing grows and happens a segue,
From despair to ecstasy and back
Notwithstanding the constraints we face,
Disobedient to the time's track

The crinkles of your chortles and
The sound of your breath
Inspite of the virtuality makes,
You sit at an arm's length

It is the memories we weave every night,
That makes this seem alright
It maybe a step too small,
But a leap so giant...

Distance shall not dictate,
The terms and of our run
As a dewdrop on the green,
Can reflect the moon and the sun

What is real and what is farce,

Mind again ruminates…

Beneath the pain of being apart,

Is the hope of this to culminate

Sanity takes a backseat,
Technology comes to rescue
The way I feel glued to this,
It is rare and and I rue-
The distance again is the reason,
To not see your face,
But with the destiny,
I somehow manage to brace...

The Rumis and the Gibrans of the world,
Would have understood the dent
That I face; but not my heart,
As it is a poor student...


No witness to our murmurs,
Except the silence of the night
But in the midst of it all,
The connect comes to dazzle

Feelings refuse to subside,
Mind cannot decipher the fuss
Amidst the awkward silence,
The stars are rooting for us...
