Thinking About You Poem by nithya raghavan

I don’t know.
Something about you,
Itches my mind,
And everytime I find,
A portrait of you,
Dangling before my eyes,
Which are drawn to
It closely, like a
Caterpillar that gets,
Attracted to a green leaf.
As I busily go
About my work,
On a bright Monday morning,
I see you standing,
By the desk, your
Shoulders covered by,
A scarf of snow,
And your red lips,
Arrange themselves in the
Form of a smile,
That gives the impression,
Of couple of pink flowers,
Arranging themselves in a garland.
As I search through the,
Dresses in my shelf,
I try to find the
Colour of a dress
That matches with your
Eyeballs, which are like,
Sunflowers that bloom,
In the middle of the night.
As I prepare my dinner,
The smell of spices,
In the food remind me,
Of the smell of jasmines,
That slide down your hair everyday.
As I listen to the nightingale,
And sparrows that chirp,
Every morning, I think
Of the bell that tolls,
In the temple along
With the sound of your anklets,
As you pray to the Gods,
To awaken peace within everyone.
I try my level best,
To put myself into,
The shoes of focus,
In everything I do,
Yet something rages within me,
Like a tide that reaches,
Higher to touch the moon,
The seasons within me,
Change from winter to summer to
Spring, and I see
Nothing but the chrysanthumums,
That glow on conquering,
The mountain top,
I don’t know why,
Even as I sleep on a rocking chair,
Those dreams dance like,
A couple of tribals who,
Dance around a fire,
On a starless night……………….
