A Different Love Poem by Ashok Suresh

A different love will do for me
a love with some life in it
that will change the way I see
and take me out of self-pity.

I have never seen that bit
of life that is bright and
lovely as though firelight
with every second moonlit.

I wait here in this lowland
for my love as I does
for rains in summers and
for nights strangely silent.

Love will come from abyss
to take me home and caress
and give my life those things
that are long amiss.
