The Otherwise...

The otherwise dull and gloomy sky,
   looks like a sea of blue.


The otherwise lonely twinkle stars
   look like studded precious stones.


The depressing sound of the traffic
   flows like music into my ears.


You and only you possess this
   power of changing disgust into delight.


Golden moments slip by
   I can't hold them back.
Don't ask me what and why
   expression is what I lack.


All that I can write to you 
   is that I have a treasure.
The meetings with you - though few
   they were such a pleasure. 


As I think of you, my friend
   my pen moves uninterruptedly,
But there has to be a stop
   and I stop - here.


So much would I like to claim the credit for this beautiful little poem, hmmm....the author is Yandamoori ....

From Pravallika to Vihari
Novel: Akhari Poratam

Another masterpiece from Yandamoori - adapted with the same screen name starring Nagarjuna, Sreedevi and Suhasini
