Inwaiting. Poem by Bharati Nayak

Inwaiting.

Rating: 5.0


I waited and waited
You never came
Now I have stopped
waiting for you
And if you come, I will be surprised.

But I have received
Your bounty of gifts
Your well wishes
That come from far island
Those sweet melodies
That harp on my senses.

But promise me dear
To come at the sunset
When day's light gradually disappear
When sky is filled
with crimson red.

Promise me
To stand by my side
And hold my hands
Before I melt into the fading light
At the horizon's end.

Hi Bharati, Very poignant poem.. Waiting is very painful, but at the same time equally pleasant, as each moment of waiting is pregnant with hope of reunion and expectation. You have expressed this with profound emotions..

Waiting for a loved one though he did not come but love makes one still hopeful. A nice picture of human sentiments.
