What You Are, To Me Poem by S JYOTI RANJAN

Is it a rhapsody, or a melancholy in your absence,
You were always there,
the capacious trait of life accommodated many events,
but dormant was the essence of your presence.

It is life that shows its resilience,
for it is knitted to show it,
may be that's why, quite meaningfully we met,
the capricious nature of our fate.

In between you and me,
it is not defined by the legacy and source of how we are related,
The unknown, partly obnoxious, partly elating,
vagaries of life, may be you sailed through to reach me,
being elevated.

Seek you, your presence,
may be with time's concurrence,
For, cannot express with the vocabularies learnt,
the profound need of you in my life, and you for me,
as a love's quintessence.
