YOU ARE.





You are in my sighs,
In my empty sights,
You are there in my heavy heart
In every word I craft.
You are there in every fold
Of my bedspread...
Evidence of many sleepness nights.
You are there on my pillow
With eyes unshut
Thinking and feeling low.
You are in my distant look
Searching among the crowd
For the face of you.

  2. Nicely written Janaki! But don’t you think that this strict image is not going well with this tender poem? :)

  7. This poem allows you to go into a realm where uncertainty surrounds love and a person's searching. Very well written Janaki! I would be interested to read a second part of this poem because now I am wondering if the 'face of you' was ever found.
