Seeking Love

Mahesh Wadhwani 1971

Standing short, amidst the tall and grandeur
Smiling, alone, still, strong and bare
Still here for those that need someone to care
Whatever I have, is for all to share
 
No ray of sunshine passes down on me
Have left them for you to shine in with glee
Am used to the dark passages of time
I lighten up my spirit with a saddened smile
 
No shower of soothing rain drops in my fate
Left them for you to soak in, rejuvenate
Am used to being left high and dry
I quench my thirst with my tearful eye
 
No swift breeze comes across my face
Left it for your skin to feel and embrace
Am used to breathe the stagnant air
I gasp between the sighs my heart bears
 
Scared am I, about my thoughts too deep
Hopes and desires, I do put to sleep
Can’t always think about my wants or needs
Just someone to love me back indeed
 
Love doesn’t create insecurity or dependency
It’s an unbalanced equation of chemistry
It isn’t wrong to hope or to expect
To seek love, to be loved, to connect

Mahesh Wadhwani

I always apologize for the length of my text as that’s the best way for me to communicate rather than verbally!! Not a man of many words but still manage to doodle when in mood to write, which is rare!! I am not even sure if what I scribble is poetry or even what form or just words that rhyme!! To me writing is an art, a sign of creativity and a means of expression. I don't really think that anyone can just write without any feelings, without having felt, without having lived, experienced or cherished. Whatever one writes, there is some amount of a persons own feelings and presence or of those around them, indicated in the works. So I am thankful to all the people in my life and those yet to come for having given me life, love, happiness and even pain. At-least I have had the opportunity to feel it , live it and express it, whatever it maybe. Cheers! more…
