A Walk I Remember

You walk…
Gait of which is never understood,
to seek beyond the black stalactites the sky offers.

You walk…
Tranquil soul and recycled dignity,
to surmise a meaning even for the spit on the sidewalk.


I walk…
Many a time with a frustrated desire,
that fails to open, for it lacks the Sun.

I walk…
Support the fingers: Enamel coated,
to alleviate the lotus and shake its waters.

We walk…
With a recondite purpose,
fragrance of which is the only memory I keep.

We walk…
Moments of no banal existence,
to experience ‘A walk I shall remember…’

    Beautiful one.. I couldnt understand what you meant by alleviate the lotus and shake its waters..i understand that its not the walk or the destination that makes our lives worth living but the moments the walk is filled with .. that speaks of our existence or our relationship with our special someone. i need to appreciate your point about the special person in our life, we tend to be more possessive than usual and try understand even a silly action.. well said in surmising the meaning of even the spit on the sidewalk

    @silvia.. I tried to bring out the difference of understanding and perception of individuals.. thats one of the reasons the lines not only associate with the previous ones but also associate with the previous stanza.. to alleviate the lotus and shake its waters is linked with how it fails to open when there isnt any sun..and how a frustrated desire seeks the help of enamel coated fingers..and also that how the fingers are needed to alleviate the lotus and shake its waters..to stir the feeling or the emotion, there is a need for the sense of touch..its that difference of how we create links between the real action and the perception we carry about a person..

    why is it that you criticize women a lot and yet show such a respect in your works?

    @anonymous.. I had to answer this question many times.. Let me put it this way, I respect womanhood and hope that I do understand its finer detail but its just that most of them normally just live it rather than experiencing it which is the most beautiful thing!
