I waited
and waited
All my
days
Expecting
his bell
At my
door
And a
call
For me
to go
I
waited, shut up
Within
the walls
Of
suspense
And
expectation
Not
stepping out
Lest he
should miss me when he comes
I heard
him ring
The
bells of my neighbours
Too, mine
But call
for my other family members
And not
for me
I waited and waited
For his
figure
Loom my
threshold
And his
cold breath
Overwhelm
my warm
Breath
and his
Winter
fingers
Twine
with mine
To begin
the journey
He rang
and called
For me
at last
While
walking with him
I asked
him where
We were
going
And he
said,
“I’m
taking you where
I take
everyone.”
it is nice to read friend. To get the meaning i read thrice. but i managed to get something. it is about the death, isn't?. he stands for god yeman. i could not get the meaning of "within the suspense of walls and expectation and loom threshold." by k.a.v.i
ReplyDeleteKavi, the pronoun 'he' doesn't indicate yeman; rather I've used it beyond any religious implications to mean death.
ReplyDeleteya. i thought the same but expressed in that word.
