Sometimes You Meet Me Often

 Sometimes

When I need you - desperately

And you are not there

I do not weep

Or cry

Or cling to your memories

Or search you

in the abstract projections -

Of my silly heart

No

I do not do all this.

I...

I write it all down

This piercing,weakening

Benumbing disease.

I write it down on the

Page playground of my notebook

I write it down

Sometimes

Sometimes like this!

And

It all soothes down

To words.

Dear,

I am a poet of your absence

When I need you - desperately

I write you down.

And

You meet me

through words

In distant mindscapes

In the heart of hearts

And right there

The poem ends

It ends

Sometimes like this!
