I Will Wait Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

I will wait, I will remain here
Go wherever destiny takes you
Needn't spare a thought
or do anything for me at all.

I can remain rooted where
I met you, where it all began
I may be sneered at by passers by
who may flood me with profanities.

Little do I care about them
And unsolicited advices are
unwelcome for me as always.
And none can smear or touch me.

I know why I wait here
and my profound convictions
make my soul overflow with
the belief that you would be back.

I know the farther you go
the brighter my memories will shine
in the inner realms of your mind
with depths unfathomable.

One day my devotion will make
my memories in your mind to come
alive and then as if in a trance
your path will surely lead to me.

Till that day, however distant
it may be, however far fetched
a dream it may seem now,
I will stay put with unyielding hope.

The fire that you lit in me will
remain undoused till I exist and
my devotion is inextinguishable
Just come back one day.

I am waiting here, I am here
just graze past at least
with your abundant grace
for me to continue my wait.
