Yearnings


Sitting on my porch, I’m waiting for
Someone who would come close to me,
And say ‘everything will be alright!’

Walking on the aisle, I’m yearning for
Someone who would pat on my shoulder,
And ask ‘is everything alright?’

Lying on my bed, I’m counting on
Someone who would pull me out,
And exclaim ‘let’s have pani-puri!’

Crouching on the floor, I’m asking nothing
Except to be left alone; but reading my mind,
Someone would slap “Don’t lie… You don’t wanna be alone!”

Alas!  I find myself facing the epiphany,
That I’ve earned only a few tears till date!
