A Journey To East Poem by Natarajan Ramakrishnan

The sun was up high in the sky... It's hot rays killing those who walked under it... No man dared to cross the desert.... For it meant certain death..


One lonely man was walking in it... A shadow amidst sunlight... Lonely he was... But his eyes were set towards east...


He was walking towards east... No he was flying towards east... Home is where the heart is they say.... But in his case his heart was in east...


His face damp with sweat.... Only one thing kept him going... The coolness of her eyes... The music from her laugh... The mystery of her eyes..


His salvation was in her hands.... For her touch grants you the strength to move the world... Her hug is a bath in a honey falls..

He did not know whether he will ever get to meet her...nor did he know whether she will like him... But he walked on... On and on forever.. With love in his heart and her name upon his lips
