Golden Streaks Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

Golden Streaks



I knew not, she is within me,
I thought not, she can ever be
So blended as if one with me
Like honey with hopping tiny bee,
True honey of my tired soul
To render back me hale and whole,
Sought her a'where day and night
Only to find nowhere footprints,
Nowhere trace like shadows in night.

It was then I began to truly melt down
Like Antarctic ice by warming all round
By the heat of truth that she's nowhere -
Nowhere one exists once one departs;
Then in true freeze I abandoned without
And turned inside in meditative mood;
Lo, I found her smile within my own,
Calling me to chase and get hold of her;
Uncertain myself, I doddered at start,
Uncertain where I stood, or where she did,
But gained composure as time ticked by.

I delved deep to catch hold of her,
She ran, escaped as I got her hold,
She teased, challenged at every step
To catch if I can, and have her;
I chased with all spark to pin her,
Alas, my range, too short for her;
She was looking back, inviting me,
She was in my need, as I was hers;
I traced pain in her glowing eyes
As I faltered each time in pinning her;
Desperate she was, desperate I was,
The mouse and cat chase ran for ages
Till both lost steam afore fate's grind.

I was about to swoon in the swink't toil,
She was about to sink to melancholic ebb,
Then suddenly we found a halo binding us
In brightest golden streaks made up of light
So tightened it close, we stuck against each
And found in other's arms clutching each,
A moment had arrived forever to last,
And at the end, what is must have clicked;
We swore to each, we never again part
And remain as one for aeons till the end;
Who wait in patience for right time to come
Reach their posts unexpected of its course.
