Dear
I love you
But ÝOU' are not you
YOU'' are that beauty
...
So many years after
Your death, Pablo Neruda!
I fell in love with you
The words once you whispered
...
I felt you coming
In the hissing of mango leaves
In the enchanting fragrances of spring breeze
In the melancholy cuckoo's song and
...
How many times,
have I been startled
by the sound of a fallen leaf
As your foot step?
...
I was swinging in dreams
As a hand extended from sky
Ahand of mercy, a hand of kindness
Wiped away my tears.
...
Is Love eternal?
Sometimes I doubt it
When your memories do not come to me
As often as it used to be.
...
Apu
Can you hear me?
Long years have elapsed

Giving birth and
Sustaining your offspring
