Reunion Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Date: 25 Jul 2014

Happy tears flooded my eye gates
An experience so surreal from real life
Beyond all thoughts and all ill fates
A friendship bloomed ahead in grief
Years in between just seemed unrelated
Fears that gushed in brains went fluttered
The welcoming hand shake sent vibes
Of the forgotten tides of ever lasting pride
The togetherness of souls and thoughts
Meant a lot than the physical bonding
That was pushed aside with no caring
The collision of powerful similar thoughts
Gushing wings of the mutual feelings
What else does it matter in this world
Than a friendship that is really old
Its like a hidden secret in the sea
Happily wrapped in old bottle of wine
For somewhere in future to hold up to see
And ensure that things are just all fine
Somewhere like a sailor who throws
A finished glass of sipping red wine
And that poor little thing sails again
After decades that silently went in
Mesmerizing thoughts of happiness
Holding hands and sharing smiles
No words but letting eyes speak
The volumes of unwritten tales
Wishing that the day does not end
And the night stays for ever young
The silent blushing smiles
At the corners of the glaring eyes
Warmth filled in hearts to feel
Like a fairy tale story to reel!
Yes, they met, they smiled
And lived happily ever after!
