In an alien cityI am longing for somebody
to call my name.
This will make me happy.
Then, I can smell the leaves
falling on the path of spring
I can see the colours of flowers
blossoming after the winters
I will recognise peoples’ voice
decipher their words
and
greetings
In an alien city
free from so many things
I could have felt its fragrance
Or, the woman
who was so close to me
years ago
Distance bothered me
distance from my child
his yelling and smiling
that has his own special marks
Distance bothered me
distance from the crowd and chaos
distance from responsibility
in an alien city…
[This poem is an outcome of my initial days in Pecs, Hungary where I spent my last one month. My blogger friends:I am really sorry for not keeping up the momentum of writing, all these days]
