Me, from a distance

I saw me standing there, holding her hand
She said something in my ear
What was it?
I couldn't hear
You see, I was standing too far

Then she let my hand go and walked away
I stood there, looking after her
Was That a tear in my eye?
I couldn't see, I was standing too far

  1. Toni Morrison once said:

    "The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power."

    Your hindi poems, somehow, have more of an impact...probably because you take what is not yours and make it so...would love to see some of them on here...

  2. Well miss, thanks for the thought. And, I can't say, that I haven't thought about it, myself. But you see Hindi poems need to be written in Devnagri script or the impact is all gone... for me at least. So while I write this, I am practicing Devnagri font, and who knows... one day may be. :)
