Ramesh Gautam<\/strong>
\nNorway<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since a few days,
\nIn the silence of your heart’s concealed realm,
\nI’ve been observing you closely,
\nUnseen, a silent witness.<\/p>\n

And I’ve discerned,
\nYou’re gradually slipping away,
\nEngulfed in profound melancholy,
\nRestlessness in disarray.<\/p>\n

As you gracefully glide amidst garden blooms,
\nWhere vibrant butterflies waltz,
\nWhy don’t your supple lips form a smile?
\nListening to this enchanting melody,
\nHumming to you in solitude,
\nWhy does your cuckoo’s throat remain silent?
\nThe radiance that once graced you,
\nWhy has it faded from your moon-like visage?
\nWhy has the ground beneath you darkened?
\nWhy is the heart I am concealing ruffled?<\/p>\n

For these recent days,
\nI’ve been collecting the pearls,
\nGently cascading from your eyes,
\nEach one, a tale, emotions encased.<\/p>\n

One day, you inquired,
\nWhy does the sun appear to follow you,
\nYet, never truly be by your side?
\nWhy does it touch every heart from afar?
\n“It’s the intangible forces that guide our path,
\nEmotions, akin to distant light and the rift that separates us,”
\nI replied.<\/p>\n

Why can’t you encounter me,
\nConcealed within your very own heart?
\nDespite dwelling in the chambers of your soul,
\nWhy can’t I reach you?
\nAnd our distance remains unchanged.
\nFor fear of causing you more anguish,
\nMy trembling hands hold back,
\nFrom wiping your tears, my heart’s anguish.<\/p>\n

Sanu,
\nDo you realize?
\nSometimes,
\nOne must traverse vast expanses,
\nTo bridge hearts in sorrow,
\nTo construct love’s abode.
\nCan you grasp these light years that stretch before us?<\/p>\n
