Stood I Still Waiting For You! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
Stood I Still Waiting For You!
Like a lonely bird I stood along the sea shore
Not knowing how many
Tide and storms went washing by
Stood I still waiting for you!
How many summers cool breeze blew
How many winters did shed painful rains
Fragile of ages went passing by
For I no longer remained the same beautiful maiden
Today wrinkles smiles on my lovely face
Bones too weak and feeble too
But my eyes are set on sea shore
Stood I still waiting for you!
A walking stick on my hand
Did give me a lending heart
With a heavy heart, when I left you on shore
My eyes were set on your sailing ship that bid me good bye
Stood I still waiting for you!
My eyes can't see the sun setting horizon beyond.
My heart see you riding, in time of horse, that went galloping by,
My eyes wanted to see you in the same way, my heart captured it.
Stood I still waiting for you!
I know you will come one day.
Tides will bring you to my shore.
My eyes though old are struck,
To have a glimpse of you.
For I fear the death, if it comes to me before you.
These shores will tell you the stories of my love for you.
Do visit my shore, even if I am not alive.
Just to let you know, how much I loved you!

Read this tale of eternal waiting with a heavy heart...... The rising waves of the sea may be a mute witness to this patient and hopeful waiting.....! May he come riding on a galloping stallion and gladden your lovelorn heart! (Ha....Ha...ha..)
This poem reminds me Jay Shankar Prasad's Akash Deep. A beautiful write.

Time does not deter true love. How truly and touchingly said!
A poem with beautiful expression of feeling of long time waiting, may be not in actual incident of life but a poetical thought of expression of the waiting in philosophical terms and aging is a factor with its own limitations of mobility where one is compelled to depend upon the walking stick........wonderful and sorrowful imaginations which a blessed mind can only make it so beautiful.
