Elusive

4 Replies

You are now,

Like the shy

Monsoon clouds

Evading for days

Mumbai’s famous

Masculine skyline,

Jagged and soaring high,

Stretching wide into

Dimness white

In a long-long sky;

The ballooning clouds dark

And floating so light;

Here,

There,

Scattered everywhere,

Yet, cruelly,

Not there

For eager

Waiting

Hopeful hearts.

    ” Elusive ” ,evokes for me that existential dread of the appointment that somehow will never be kept ; that frisson of a missed opportunity ;of things turning out so differently from what we had imagined.
