Longing For You Poem by lalitha iyer

Aged
my heart beats slow
my limbs shake
as I stroll
my thoughts forget
words they regret
my vision
filled with missions
nomore understood
by my brains
I look into
but see different
and sit and smile
into nothing current
my living
questioned by
many stares
passing by
I have lost
me wasted by
I wait
for the cycle to finish
breath to end
looks to blind
desires none
breasts are barren
milkless, lifeless
clinging for love
forsaken by friends
merciless thoughts
they mix up
loveless mind
its 'filling the blanks'

I feel you
just a light touch
pinking the horizon
distant ships
reflecting hopes
somewhere
in the stream of births
some chord
binding you and me
I faintly smell
the air of yours
slowly as I read
the nameless bond
of thinning affection.......
