Stranger No More... Poem by Aparna Sinha

Stranger No More...

Rating: 4.8


People - so strange
I cannot read their heart
I stand there glaring at their smile
And I am lost


Smile- is deceptive
It is out of love, happiness, pain
And with twinkle in eye
I wondered


All eyes- staring
Cold, confused, astonished (I am not one of them)
So distant are the emotions
And I am alone


Emotions- are undulant
I try to reach things that are beyond
Our common discern
I sensed power


Discern- I descried
In every face so strange
Ephemeral smile, delusive eyes
A heart beats, with feeling so same


And as I saw deep
In hard rain, under the shade of same tree
I felt her agony first time
There was water in her eyes too
Just like me.

the wanting to connect with someone in an alien land (when you are far away from where you felt you actually belong) leads you into a turmoil. But, a poet is a stranger/oustider everywhere..8/10
