7:00p.m.-14 August-99

Waiting here at the airport

For the plane delayed for half an hour more

And so delayed

My getting closer to the air you breathe

Not much difference it will make to you

For I was always away from

You

Your heart

As away as I could be

And no difference it will make to me either

For you are close to

Me

My heart

As close as you could be

And…oh!

Here they say

‘The plane is delayed for minutes

Five more’

But wait for me

I’m coming

Coming to see that grin on your face

To see that stubborn smile

To talk a few words (literally)

Oh…dumb me

And my dumb thoughts

Forget them

Let me tell you something about

The beautiful things I saw

Beautiful sky, with stars and clouds

Beautiful sea, with a huge tug

Beautiful temple, up the high hill

Beautiful trees, as many as could be

Beautiful movies, three or four or more

Beautiful food, tasty of course

Beautiful people, with beautiful hearts

Beautiful girls, not many just few

But every beautiful thing

Reminded me of you

Yeah…

Now I am on the board

The plane is quite a noisy stuff

But still it can’t go swifter

Than my noiseless thoughts

Spare me

But today I can see

Something as beautiful as thee

I can see the sun

Setting down in to the clouds

It is too good to describe

So are you

And to end

Friend

I am still dumb
