Love For Thou Poem by Ratnakar Rout

Oh! My well known stranger you never let pass the words
Time corrects itself and admires you
In your movement being influenced
By your envisaged routine and commitment
My realization has become matured
Since the day I learnt about you.
The scheduled time is over
I am impatient and looking around
Feeling gradually that time becomes motionless
Thus, I am being surprisingly caught between two jaws.
My mind is puzzled and heart throbs
As if the fish is out of water.
The placid thoughts cannot go beyond
Encountering an accident or I presume
You would have possibly come at any time
Might be something unexpected happened
And you are detained somewhere.
Irrestible waves are toiling hard
To escape from the mammoth azure sea
Though insurmountable thinking fail to fructify
Hunted desperately to the memory lane
That the band is still ringing.
Minutes grow in geometric progression
Not time but the mass it assumes
Several minutes waiting in the long run
Appear as if ages are passing away
That lost haplessly in the eternal shore.
Waiting is painful you know
Pains mount in the innocuous heart
And make it amazingly reticent
But I believe one day you will come
If not today may be on tomorrow anytime
Oh, my well known stranger
To reach the designated destination
I pursue the waiting that is on
And firmly believe once again
My persistent effort will not go vain
The much loved grain that waits eagerly
For the onset will germinate
In a glorious moment in seclusion
In an unknown terrain inside
That I wish strongly.
