Standing On The Bridge Poem by malini kadir

Standing on the bridge
We have the bike parked behind us
We look down at the flowing waters down under…..
Behind traffic is in a lull of a Sunday afternoon
This tranquillity at sundown is a boon!

You and I have found time alone
After real ages, after passages of futile talks
This unity in silence…
Is a joy in itself, if it your preference
My heart aches for more in a sense….

Yet my shyness is still with me…
You know me, pride will make me say
Just any mundane thing any way
True feelings hidden under for deep digging
That was easy when times were swinging! !

But now both seem very short of words
Your heart knows I still love and care
But your scare of commitments
Has you still running from the truth
I understand you …..This your smile brings forth!
