Reshma Ramesh - So near yet so distant

The day I loved you
My dear, I am all praise for
Your love and compassion,
Attentive gaze, The way you
Look for thorns on my path
The way you warm the air
As I walk in the cold
Evening, the wine you
Sipped I can taste on
Your lips, pull the curtain
Of love around us
I hold you dear, for you
Are my reflection in
The mirror of our love
I see in the depth of
Your eyes, my tears
In the depth of your
Heart, my being beats
In your remembrance.
My love, in my dreams
I see us as one
When I woke, tears flowing
Down my cheeks, your
Hands not here to wipe them
So near yet so distant

Sequel to the poem 'So near yet so distant' from poet Sadiqullah Khan
