Wanderer- Aastha Gupta

My heart often wanders at places you would least expect it to be-

at the edge of 𝘈ð˜Ūð˜Ūð˜Ē's sky blue chiffon pallu

hanging like a dreamcatcher that would never let go off the dreams woven inside it

in the nooks and corners of every street, every lane

wandering like a refugee who believes 𝘓ð˜Ēð˜Đ𝘰ð˜ģð˜Ķ and 𝘈ð˜Ūð˜ģ𝘊ð˜ĩð˜īð˜Ēð˜ģ, both fall on the same side of the border

inside museums, ð˜Đð˜Ē𝘷ð˜Ķ𝘭𝘊ð˜ī and ð˜Ū𝘊ð˜Ŋð˜Ēð˜ģð˜ī

observing each artefact, each sculpture

like an artist would admire it's muse

on the banks of 𝘗ð˜ģð˜Ē𝘚ð˜Ēð˜Ļ where pious waters of the 𝘎ð˜Ēð˜Ŋð˜Ļð˜Ē and 𝘑ð˜Ēð˜Ūð˜ķð˜Ŋð˜Ē meet

floating, raring towards one another like two jilted lovers

my heart is everywhere-

dancing between 𝘎ð˜Đð˜Ē𝘭𝘊ð˜Ģ'ð˜ī verses

swooning over 𝘍ð˜Ē𝘊ð˜ŧ'ð˜ī ð˜Ŋð˜Ēð˜ŧð˜Ūs

dreaming about 𝘈ð˜Ūð˜ģ𝘊ð˜ĩð˜Ē'ð˜ī poetry

behind closed doors

beneath wings too huge

above the sky too high

for I am a wanderer-
