A Window Poem by Sagar Patil

Once 'twas a special dawn, as gazed I through a frame
Outlines of hills were calmly swaying ocean waves
An afloat ball's ablaze with gleaming flames
Lyrical dulcet chirps I heard in slow octaves
As joyous unseen birds sang merry songs
My mind then wander'd in a sea of thoughts
The day grew older, (and a temper strong) ...
'We lose today what we had always sought! '

The hot noon sun had bounced o'er the house
I wash'd my hands in sunshine on the sill
As tangent rays peek'd behind nimbus clouds
Invisible painters coloured heavenly skies until
The seasons chang'd and rains came down through mist
And splash'd my soul as if to give a bath
Then I embrace'd it with an open fist!
'For thou now were engaged with me till death...'

Life's changing seasons are HIS way to be
As Death ensnares and tries to claim my only Love
All battles I can win if you art beside me
With thou in shaking arms, I beg the Lord above...
As through the window I look out(in) time and again
And always see 'love-fire' ignite from ashes of a coal
'My mirrored image I then saw in your face, when
You clos'd your eyes and shut the window to thy soul'


...


...


...


As long as stars can shine or Gods can be
Thou always shalt live in my heart...
I follow thou now and'll till eternity
Death is just too weak to do us apart...
