Sameer was back at Houston. He was glad being able to spend 3 weeks at home in Hyderabad, with Simba, Mansi and his Parents. At the same time, monotony of daily routine ahead pushed him to the verge of a shudder. Yes, there was Sarika, Priti & Riya and their respective families around him, but they too had their own lives and priorities to be taken care of. With solitude and boredom for entourage, his thoughts were devoid of purpose or direction. Once he sallied out of India this time, Sameer was unsure of how soon he would be able to head home. With obnoxious thoughts pounding hard, he laid his rattled mind and tired brains to forceful rest. As he closed his eyes, the melancholy of internal verses made him realize that he missed many a thing, foremost of which was his Son's presence and touch. Desperation and longing for Simba's company vented out in a trickle of words that exhumed Sameer's pain, laying bare the gash, deep within .
Alone in a solitary hamlet
Vying with yearnings & thoughts
No dear ones in the vicinage
Only good memories held aloft
The ire of feelings
Covered by the selvage of patience
Raking up a glimmer of hope
Through this semantic pretence
A human mind so forlorn
Craving for a soothing touch to embalm
Hope is all but a mirage
And none to make me calm
Human relations so intense
With hedonic feelings to soothe
But a journey in solitude
Is life’s eternal truth
It’s been a while thus far
Simba, with you in my thought
Wish you could be here with me
Since I miss you a lot!!!
