This is a poem which I wrote for Conde Nast Magazine. They had commmsioned me to write poetry on the theme of Travel, and I wrote four poems for them.

Here is one of them.
___________________________





Restlessness 

Desire 

Longing 

Are now constant companions 

Travelling with me

Within me

They have made themselves comfortable



They arrived as tourists

On a travellers  visa

But somehow managed to linger on

No force could banish them



My heart , my thoughts

Are yours now

My soul

Subsumed, consumed, blazing

Burning 



I live in restless hope

I  longingly dream 

Of making the journey

Across the miles

The desire to be with you 

And to linger on.



Just like my  travelling companions

I hope

To stay

Till eternity 

In your arms.
