Waiting For You............... Poem by lalitha iyer

You are next door
I could even knock
but when I stand up
my throbs mock
and I sit helpless....

I wonder
what have you worn today
blued, whitened or limed you are
wonder what moods you share
and what must me in your thoughts
you are next door
yet, I am afraid to knock......

It is a fool's errand
I just sit and watch
you could hear me
if I call, just whisper
you could see me
if only I wave my hand
I fear
lest i am uncontrollable
I sit
and wonder
and surrender
to my impotent wishes.................
