Apprehensions, , , Poem by kunjubi varghese

You will not understand me anymore;

I just can't show your image

Embedded in my soul, by opening

The window of my cloistered heart.

I cannot sleep now when I ponder

How you could decipher the real

Lines in between my silences?


I am hiding among the branches of

A blooming tree, as the wind,

In the courtyard of your mansion;

I am also the vestige that embraces you.


I remember those words you uttered

Once, that you can't find me with your

Naked eyes, as though I am an apparition.

I may be a distant vision for your eyes now.

Still if you can keep your ears close to

My heart you could listen, my heart throbs

Very distinctly, pulsating with your name.

By the end of the winter, as your love starts

Pouring down as the rain, I will transform

To become the sodden earth, glistening

With your enrapturing moonlight.
