In poetic mood again

I have bid the summer goodbye.

Winter is now whispering in sight.

I wish the winter to retire soon,

Its parting shall herald the harbinger

of a joyous union and togetherness,

for which I have the longing.

This quest must cruise to a halt.

I am getting tired,

traversing the sands of time

with a steady gait of life,

along the  slippery path,

a tribute of turmoil

of a distant onward march

of physical hardship and toil,

that often my aging bones fail,

yet I do not yield to failure.

With hopes within I struggle.

I expect the unexpected.

In the worst, I find my strength.

I advance,
with you in my heart.

I am fighting the nightmare of loneliness.

I am drowning in a sea of thoughts,

of sweet memories of togetherness.

and the reservations

of the trivial misgivings,

rises in pensive verse.

I am in my poetic mood again

and I see you in my poem.

Amidst all the complexities;

I have realized the reality.

Life is indeed a bittersweet journey.

and I often sing the blues,

but my anxieties remain,

to see life's youthful hue.

The silver lining in every cloud.

that time would run its course,

that one day I would have lived all days,

through thick and thin,

It would be the day then,

the day I would have waited for,

the day you would have waited too.

A day of homecoming

to be with you.

Till then,

with pensive thoughts to cherish,

 in poetic moods I remain.

A stranger amongst the strangers

in a place stranger than ever.
