The railway platform and its waiting room has been a catalyst or location for many a love story and even films. Ramendra Kumar pens a love poem about a rendezvous amid the buzz.
You stood
On the platform
Smothered by
The stench
The cacophony
The chaos,
Like a whiff
Of Zephyr
In the arid desert sands,
As our eyes
Caressed
And our lips
Locked,
The entropy cauterized.
The million moments
Of an agonizing hiatus
Melted away.
And we stood alone
In a cocoon
Of togetherness.
Soon
The train
Trundled away,
And I was left stranded
Your dew drops in my eyes,
My quest for another
Platform
That would bring
You to me
For an eternal moment
Beginning
In slow motion.
