You are not to blame for
While I am here; on this windy lake shore
You are away being obscure
In the same world, where we could have met before
And I try in my own ways
To make you appear
By leaving my apartment door open
And wishing that you would waft in
But the stale empty air that follows,
Confirms your lack of presence
And in my heightened sense of awareness
You, my love, are still missing, in essence
Don’t you agree that it is enough?
Should you not find you way here, sooner?
And stop your silly meandering
In you attempt to find me hither
I tried, at first, looking.
Everywhere, and in everything I did
Through calm nights, or mornings at the supermarket
I strained my eyes, and sometimes my ears
Not in the library, the empty aisles confirmed
Not in the crowded airplanes, when others sat by my side
Not on the city’s streets despite when the Midwest sun shone
You were never found, as I stayed a silent spectator
So I tried, not looking, following an old axiom
By forcing lonelier walks along frozen rivers
Positioned empty chairs, to isolate in a coffee shop
In not looking, I befriended empty walls
It did not work. Looking or not looking.
What was needed, was for you to roar
To hunt me down, in my oneness
To pounce on me, like a lioness
It is evident, my love, (while you meander)
That is world is designed for pairs (while you ponder)
Yet I exist, in certainty, in a pair of one
A concept that science has already deemed impossible
And since I live uncertainly
I don’t mind screaming out loud, in all directions
So that you can hear, and respond
To fill in the last few colors
So come, and come quick
Even if you appear from my nowhere
I won’t question as you run your hands through my hair
To complete my pair
And to insist that we leave,
Away, anywhere, somewhere
Or, we could spent the night in deep slumber
Regardless, as long as we are an even number
🙂
ditto…:)
Ah! the realm of real life arithmetic!..it will happen!
Gosh these r my lines..sorry for the claim but if i pen down exactly how feel its the same..i wonder why few things those come so easily to others have to be very difficult for some..then i explain myself,may be God wants me to wait so that when i find what i look for i will know how much it worth..
cheers
Pradnya
awesome
but i would have gone for the pair being a prime number (but that's just me)

mathematics, arithmetics and love
oh no!! thats 3! damn it!

i guess you can say that now we are even (ah dhang you)

u write good stories and poems too!!
Upasna: I hope you weren't laughing 🙂 Although, come to think of it I don't see why you would not..
Muks: 🙁
Dk: Not sure "what" you think will happen. I do know that arithmetic is certain
Birdy: It get's worse when you realize someone's worth only after you are worthless to them.
Kappa: Despite my despise of odd numbers, I do like prime numbers. So I can see you what you mean. Especially, since me and cars will always be a constant pairing.
My favorite number is an odd one.
An odd 1.
Thanks for the comment
Maybe when you were an even number you didn't value it as much ! Now you can enjoy the oddity !! It's as bad as you allow it to be!
very well composed…can't resist so commenting…maybe yr shakuntala might just say (plz excuse the sad joke)
Pondering alone as I sit & stare,
Meandering thoughts give me a scare
But then an enduring hope, that I am made as a pair
Draws me out through this moment of despair
And the glow returns to match the blush I wear
Quickly I turn to say a little prayer
Someone somewhere just as rare
Awaits my love, my presence I am aware
In my dreams it feels like a walk on air
So come and come quick as I have a life to share
🙂
(I don't mean to intrude or offend you…just felt like writing, please dnt mind)
Ads: Thanks for the comment. I certainly don't mind have no reason to be offended. if anything, your comment re-affirms the fact that I am not alone in my thoughts 🙂
I hope you keep visiting,
hehe you thought I were laughing? I haven't reached laughter yet. Though, I had thought, I thought of everything too. Not so sure now! (sigh and a smile Dush 🙂 )
And I thought I was the only one who felt alone. It's good to know that I have company in you brother 🙂
Gap: You shouldn't be pleased about it just because you have company 🙂
The world was absolutely created for pairs (and for good reason). I wish I could say more but I am right where you are so I just don't know what to say except that 'i concur'.
At other times, I tell myself 'hang in there, and it will happen'. It gets boring after a while.
