WHISPERS: Love, longing and loneliness...

Rain, rain Come again
Love, Longing and Loneliness...

My window

In the rains

Forgoes its work

Leaves the wall, blank

Jumps in the puddle

Below

_________

Even before the eyes

Could release

First torrent of pain

Even before thoughts

Sink

And nudge us

Over the edge

Spread me in your

Desert places, Star

And

Drum up a passionate dream

______________

Shashi 1989

The sea

Needs all of the sky

For herself

Pregnant with rain

And I needed all of you

As complete

As my pain

I recently stumbled upon Russian Poetess and loved here poetry very much. Her poetry has a sense of loss and even her life's story is sad and felt very emotional after reading her biography. Some times, life's twist and turns take you to places where you can not just do any thing but surrender to it. Click here if you would like to read about her in the Wikipedia

Here is one of her verses

My Poems...

My poems, written early, when I doubted

That I could ever play the poet’s part,

Erupting, as though water from a fountain

Or sparks from a petard,

And rushing as though little demons, senseless,

Into a sanctuary, where incense spreads,

My poems about death and adolescence,

--that still remain unread! --

Collecting dust in bookstores all this time,

Where no one comes to carry them away,

My poems, like exquisite, precious wines,

Will have their day!
