I see you everywhere.
In a black car speeding towards me.
In tiny Molly fishes and doghouses.
You're that kind of beauty that I see no fishes
But only your reflection on an aquarium glass.
I see you everywhere.
In a bus journey at night.
On an Activa speeding away or parked in a driveway.
You're that kind of breeze that satisfies me here
Even when blowing far across the night skies through coconut trees towards the sea.
I see you everywhere.
In contagious, echoed laughter and cocka-doodle-doos.
In a barking dog or three!
You're that kind of art
Waiting to be hung as paintings on bare nails on bedroom walls.
I see you everywhere.
In a long train journey towards nowhere in particular.
In my next pilgrimage to Thiruvannamalai.
You're that kind of child-woman, who sings Aaj jaane kii zidd na karo,
Cuddled along with soft baby elephants and bears on a bed.
I see you everywhere.
In every mantra I chant.
In every word I type on a godforsaken blog.
For you're that kind of river goddess, my nymph,
Who makes a gandharva out of a mere mortal.
In a black car speeding towards me.
In tiny Molly fishes and doghouses.
You're that kind of beauty that I see no fishes
But only your reflection on an aquarium glass.
I see you everywhere.
In a bus journey at night.
On an Activa speeding away or parked in a driveway.
You're that kind of breeze that satisfies me here
Even when blowing far across the night skies through coconut trees towards the sea.
I see you everywhere.
In contagious, echoed laughter and cocka-doodle-doos.
In a barking dog or three!
You're that kind of art
Waiting to be hung as paintings on bare nails on bedroom walls.
I see you everywhere.
In a long train journey towards nowhere in particular.
In my next pilgrimage to Thiruvannamalai.
You're that kind of child-woman, who sings Aaj jaane kii zidd na karo,
Cuddled along with soft baby elephants and bears on a bed.

In every word I type on a godforsaken blog.
For you're that kind of river goddess, my nymph,
Who makes a gandharva out of a mere mortal.
