Wringing Out A Tone... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Wringing Out A Tone...



Waiting I was this far,
Waiting for your call,
Waiting to hear you in my heart,
Waiting to be heard that bad;

The ringtone breaks the silence at last
You tell me you were busy fast;
You tell me you would again call
And hang up my dreams that have rung so far...

Busy? No; I know you are
Pretending busy, to dismiss me fast;
Busy not, to respond to the readiness
That rings so loud inside my heart...

Let me remain, let come your call;
But amidst memories raining hard,
Let me wring out the scorching pain
That soaks up heavy inside my heart...

Waiting with anticipation that end in pain and dismay- very poignant, honest, expressing a universal experience. such a moving title, you caught me off guard with this one. the theme was on my mind, you have expressed it totally. 10+ Mamta

very nice and touchy poem. one that comes from the heart always touches the heart. pain is a part of our life and usually get it from the one we love the most. for whom we are even ready to give away our life.take care
