Across

Across the window
After crossing the parking lane
And the blue water swimming pool
Around the green trees lays the raised glory of earth
Mountain.

Close to where horzion is laying
Close to where clouds are forming
Close to where breeze is blowing
Close to where sun is warming

And beyond those
Misting mountains
Turbulent seas
Deep hights
Dark Nights

Thoughts of past
Troubles of present
Hopes of Future
And Pristine beauty of ages
Sleeps.

I sit and think of those moments.....

Sitting at stairs
Looking towards the meadow
With the fountain flowing around
Morning is reaching

Great are those...
who will come now...
from left
from right
from east
and from west
and all the directions

To attend the classes
sometimes to go to nescafe
sometimes to go to chatter at winty
sometimes to the reading room
sometimes to library

sometimes to party
sometimes to rock
sometimes to d&d
sometimes to play
sometimes to edlc
sometimes to quizzin

sometimes to rendezvous
sometimes to tryst
sometimes to biohoriozon
sometimes to chemcon

And then they will go
sometimes to glory
sometimes to history
sometimes to future

And they will remain
close...
close to me

They are my friends!!!

I can only appreciate the content, the form of poetry is best left to dido.

I too agree... Nescafe, HFC, Roti and Mutter Paneer... I exist in the knowledge that I have turned by back on perhaps the best and happiest place I have ever been in... but life goes on.

But I count you blessed, Gimli son of Gloin: for your loss you suffer of your own free will, and you might have chosen otherwise... and the least reward that you shall have is that the memory of Lothlorien shall remain ever clear and unstained in your heart, and shall neither fade nor grow stale.

Sweet!I kept thinking maybe you were describing nature and the colours of the sunrise--"friends' came as a surprise!
Even though i don't know what d&d and edlc mean (am presuming its some IIT-D lingo) i enjoyed the poem and the sentiments expressed.
