Always there for me

I walked mindlessly, grief was filling in-

The heaviness of loneliness bore in heart,

No, tears were not welling up,

I wished to vent it out,

But I couldn't, I felt lost,

Nothing around seemed to make sense,

I wished to fall back into caring arms,

And just stay there…

The only place to walk to was,

To the temple of the Lord.

I sat there in silence,

I was blank, but it was dark within…

I didn't ask, nor did I tell,

It was silence echoing within myself.

I stood up and walked back,

The street seemed desolate,

Though there was a crowd.

And I looked up, now I couldn't stop-

Myself from the stupid grin of mine;

It was my gulmohar, with a single bunch of- 

Beautiful red flowers, as if it was for me.

I felt being filled with the gush of love...

I thanked him, for the kind gesture,

Did my eyes get wet?

And I realised,I do have warmth surrounding me;

It's just about realisation…

And it was not his time to bloom,

Definitely, you go out of the way

Just to make me smile.

I love you, my gulmohar,

As always, forever…

I wished for rain, that I feel complete;

And a drop fell on my cheek,

Still blushing with the stupid grin!
