Several months ago, I met a fellow blogger, Jidhu Jose, an Indian computer
engineer, working in Qatar. His website is beautiful -
http://www.jidhujose.blogspot.com/ but, of course, he IS a computer
engineer. It is filled with variety. Recently, Jidhu asked if I might write
poetry to accompany some of his photography which I said I would be
glad to do from time to time. Of course, now that I am in India, all I want
to do is be lazy, drink chai, enjoy village life, travel about the country
and, occasionally attend to my own blog.
I did write this poem, inspired by a remembered love ( see, I wasn't
always an old hard hearted lady ). Jidhu posted it on his site -
and I am making it my blog for today. I thought it would be part of
a Ruby Tuesday post but, sadly, I see that series has drawn to an
end with the advent of the new year.
The kiss from your lips,
Refreshes my soul,
Quenches my thirst,
Makes me once again whole.
You are life giving water,
I can't drink my fill,
Though I have all eternity,
I need more time still.
