without you (poem by Barry)

how clearly I saw myself
when you brushed a rebellion of hair
to the ranks of God
quaking the mountain on which my
heart lay
in that stranger cold
without you

eloquence and silence

are the two requisites
of a great poet
who has one for ever guessing ...
what did the poet say ,
rather mean,
and
you so excel

even when you so comment ...
just great so nice to see you
off and on kailash
