Beyond'less'...

Pointing to a distant green land,

beyond the river,

I remember once you told,

that's where you reside.

In that mid summer,

the river was just a dry sand path.

We then naturally parted.

I was again reminded of you,

when the south-west monsoon started.

I rushed to get to see you.

By reaching the place of our parting,

I got to see an overflowing river,

having no banks.

Drenched under the pouring sky,

I was ought to think

one of my friends asking me a question,

'How far a lizard can run?',

without letting me to think

he answered it himself,

'Not beyond the fence...'

I loved how you ended this..."not beyond the fence". Reinforcing innate ability.

Distance can cause so much turmoil in a relationship, however, if it's just a matter of timing than the possibility to reunite is still exists and all that is needed is a little patience. enjoyed reading this!

Boundaries,social ties ,our fears will never us move ahead.. But if you want something from the core of your heart you better go for it rather than regret.. lovely flow blended with natural allegory. :)

you led us perfectly to that question...
i read this twice, and it can mean so many things to each reader.

For me, at this moment...
It's a good a reminder that me must learn to live within our means.

[Swaroop Manikandan]

:-) thanks dear friend for deriving meanings out of those words...

You're very talented, I'm very quickly becoming a fan.

[Swaroop Manikandan]

that inspires me to write more... I am not actually writing these days... most of these posts are from earlier writing...

[Matching Socks]

Oh, well then you need to write something fresh! :)
