i am reminded of a Basheer short story. you will remember the details better than me, because i had read it a long time ago. was its title 'anuragathinte dinangal'? after several days of exchanging hearts from a distance, the hero could not bear it any longer. he risks everything and jumps over the wall. then comes the sublime moment when he takes her into his arms and hugs her. "hentummaa," she heaves a sigh of ecstacy... what happens next? do you remember?
when you go on this tangent..I really dont get it.. I think it becomes too symbolical for me..am not much of a poet I guess..but even my ignorance cant stop me from feeling the power in the lines!!
Sujataji: I think may be you are trying to find out more than what I’d intended to say. Believe me it’s just simple. I don’t call these pieces poetry. These are my hallucinations.
Balan Sir: That’s poetry! You’ve reiterated my belief that reading is as or more creative than writing.
well, its very unpoetic that happens in the story. if i tell it here , it will kill the feel of this poem u have written. u must read the book sometime. :)

Sorry Venu Chettan, I don't remember. Sumi will tell us, I guess. Thanks a lot.
Sumi: Tell us please, won't you?
Bindhu Chechi: Yes, powerful enough to be destructive.Where have you been for so long?
let Sumi tell it. she remembers it better. i had read it at least 30 years ago.

Love, like God, ceases to exist when one says it aloud.....
Venu Chettan: 30 years! Still, you did!

It's quite a powerful feeling, yes...
