I Wait For Your Mail Poem by Ratan Bhattacharjee

I waited, I waited and waited long...
And hoped the mail would reach me
and enter the channels of my ear
like a song......

I wait everyday for the Seuli flowers to whiten
the lawn
The frosty wind blows all around
The blue sky with its dimming lamps
webs a spell for all the gazers
The shepherd boy goes to the meadows
And the milkman rushes with jars of milk

White jasmine and seuli flowers
Hawthorne and eglantine all around
I wait all the dawn when the temple bells
ring sweetly at a distance
When the birds chirp their mild notes

The mail from you came at last
to enter the channels of my ear
like a song
Sweet like a song that is ever unheard.
