I get startled by your call...
In the shadowy shadowy afternoon.
When I open the windows,
the smell of the wetly mud spreads everywhere around.
I see you looming up towards my home.
But don't know about that whom are
you talking with on the way for hours and hours.
That you don't have time to come.
You come then you don't.
Did you get irascible ? For which
you are restraining the summer... '
If not coming is what you resolute for,
Then why are you longing..
longing to touch me.
Destroy all the doors of sadness.
Take me with you.
By the swaying of the gusty wind.
Wet me and the volcanic skin.
You have touched my heart,
with your first droplets,
in the last monsoon.
Why do you come in the midst of August?
Interpreting the sky with different colors..
You go back..
Leaving a rainbow in my eyes..

ReplyDelete@devashrita di ... thnaku so much that u r loving my poetry.... i hope i create some more wonderful creations fr u .. :)))
aaah...delightful, this reminds me of neruda at his best. A fiery, passionate mood, powerful natural imagery, and sheer genius. Could hardly be bettered. It simply brings it home to the reader the dimensions and scope of modern poetry. and that's something only a select few on the plan can achieve. Awesome, for once, is an understatement.
ReplyDeleteYou understand the interpretation very very well.. and i appreciate it .. thanks for reading it and making it special...
