I Saw His Ship Sailing Bye! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

One fine winter snow fall,
He fell like dew drop into my beautiful secret lawn.
I stood at window, looking at morning rays of sun went kissing by
First time I saw his deep ocean eyes that swept me into his love.
He came haunting me in midnight, where sun shone bright.
Like a cool breeze, his warmth love, pass through my heart.
A desire which I never felt before.

A warmth of love our eyes exchanged
My heart set an alarm at 12 O' Clock midnight
Neither he came up
Nor I went down
Though the flow of words never we exchanged
A desire to exchange love was witnessed
by the twinkling stars and the bright full moon.

We both sat on swings of love
Cool breeze did swing us to and fro
A stream of warmth love went piercing our hearts unknowingly.

Suddenly, I woke up from dream
I closed my windows as it was never meant for me.

I saw him standing still looking for me
Once shut window, never I opened.

When winter went drizzling by,
Like an autumn he entered my life,
But only to shed flowers of love.

On one fine summer,
Like a storm he got washed away along the shore,
I saw his ship sailing by,
Too far away to bid him goodbye.

I stood still like a lonely bird on the sea shore,
All alone, watching his ship sailing bye!
