Lonely Lover Poem by Tribhawan Kaul

Aloof I am and far from you
coasting along,
lonely in a boat
waves of thoughts surge me ahead
with remembrance as an oar,
I row.

Goal being that shining star,
destiny, I know not
sucked into the whirlpools,
are my wandering thoughts
entangled in the vicious maze of memory,
you brought.

Lost if I am,
search for that elusive pearl
on the pretext of finding a shell
reach me
even if it takes eternity.
