For You… Poem by kunjubi varghese

When the feather touch of your fingers

Daub love on my moist cheeks, sitting near me.

My soul always inundate with the nectar you accord.

The lurid radiance you breed in my mind with your love

Immerse me in the timid dreams I own,

The couplet I write to day comprise the moods and sentiments

Of the soft, selfless, sacred love you have for me.

Let it come out as a song, a prelude, an overture

An aria, a rhythm and the symphony may fill the universe,

With the harmony, of its cadence...

The smile, like buds bursting into flowers,

On your bejeweled lips, are always

Spreading, its fragrance, in my imagination.


If perchance we could never meet again in our life.

While pursuing the unknown regions of our survival,

I implore you to keep your tears unshed

In the memory of an unfulfilled, incomplete

Idyllic correlation of our love existed within us.


Through births and rebirths my mind is seeking you

To make you my eternal soul mate,

Among the droplets sustained in that deep blue sky

And in the emerald depths of the roaring ocean,

In the dew sodden radiance of the moonlight,

In the miraculous glee of a blooming bud,

My psyche is rifling through, to reach you.

No one can croon a lullaby to the memories

Of life, which squirms in the spirit.
