Have you forgotten the moment you felt
the untamed and erratic rainfall?
I was that incessant rainfall heaven
had sent down with a sudden thunderbolt
the wild tides on the night of a full moon?
I was those turbulent tides the moon
had bestowed with her silver spoon
Have you forgotten the moment you heard
the ocean waves splashing harder than ever?
I was those thunderous waves the cosmos
had delivered in a chariot pulled by white horses
Have you also forgotten that you are the waters
desperately waiting to merge into my ocean?
You were unwittingly steered away from my waves
and left to stagnate in a pond for so many years
Wake up—you are as fluid as can be
So, morph into a river and
splash away from the pond of misery
Flow closer to my shore
Stand soaked in the erratic rain—
and remain untamed and
get ready to dissolve
Shed away all those layers of
guilt, agony and melancholy
you have been piling up
for decades under a guise
to satisfy the wretched pond
The moon has been waiting to
see you drift away
The turbulent silver tides are here
to welcome you in my arms
The whitecaps beating heavily
like a drumbeat that vibrates your heart—
my waves are ready to pull you back
into my serene wilderness once again
I am your lover
anticipating—
one invocation
one surrender
one gesture
one touch
one hint
from you
