A Lifetime of Waiting
Sleep eludes me tonight
As I yearn for that smell
Of love and your sweat,
In the folds of your drape.
How I wish for the touch
Of your hand, worn and frayed,
That once lulled me to sleep,
As it caressed my head!
Those jibes and queries,
Your unwanted advice,
I crave once more the reproaches-
Your blessings in disguise.
Your silence, now, is stifling;
And I pray, with moist eyes,
To be held in your arms, Maa,
Once more, in next life.
