The Poet And The Sky-6 Poem by Indira Renganathan

'Peculiar you are
Strange you are
Unaware of
Thinning your health
Thinning our wealth
Sky will never
shower money
Nor the wind will ever
Blow mercy
Life being threatened
Wife being weakened
How are we to survive? '
Implores
She helplessly
Over all these bitter days
Having felt too much

But not giving up at all
He asks
'Oh dear, how was it
You stood by that hill's verdict
How was it
You lost me to become wind-addict
Does ever ahill talk
Ever the wind does hark
Answer, out from your dark'

Confused
Whether to trust or not
The hills words
She keeps silence

He continues

'I ventriloquized
Unaware stupefied
You stood emotionalized
Try to know my heart
Dwelleth there a poet
Seldom you're his poetry

Those sun and moon and stars..
Your eyes are the spectrum
To release them like cupid's arrows
And that vast sky boundless
Is your hearty love endless
I see you when I see it

You look into my heart
Honest with all your heart
Speak if you are not there
Or loose me if you can't bear
But I will not loose my poetry
Will sure relish my verses' gentry

I'll keep watching the sky
Trust me, your beauty they magnify
I will not leave my poetry
Believe me, you're my chemistry
Do not doubt our endurance
Better we live in adherence

And the earning for our life
The verses of my strife..
I hope they bring us luck
More than now more bucks
And morrow's change
Wind might change
Of its mighty rage
Me blown to the high range
Might be sometimes strange'

Somewhat implicit mind
Somewhat perplexed mind
She stands silent a while
