A Day After I Wrote
This might be a vague emotion, For the exaggeration I carry for you.
Wild are your movements and,
Natural goes your artistic world,
It's the cycle I don't understand, But I love never to understand.
Believe me to believe you and, Acknowledge you for living me. I live when I see you breathe, I breathe when I hear you live. We breathe, we live in a home, room of own, Not knowing much but ourselves.
I never try to know much as you know, Nor I wish to know as less we know.

Thala Abhimanyu Kumar S’s poem “A Day After I Wrote” is a gentle reflection on love, connection, and the inexplicable bond between two souls. The poet begins by admitting the vagueness of his emotions, suggesting that love often defies reason or measure. He admires the beloved’s natural spontaneity and creative spirit, accepting the mystery of her “wild movements” as something not to be understood but cherished. This acceptance of the unknown becomes the essence of love itself — a feeling that is felt, not analyzed. The poet’s tone is tender, introspective, and sincere, capturing the purity of emotion that flows without demand or condition.
As the poem progresses, breathing and living become central metaphors for unity and coexistence. The lines “I live when I see you breathe, I breathe when I hear you live” express an intertwined existence where each partner becomes the other’s life source. Their love forms a self-contained world — “a home, room of own” — where nothing else matters beyond mutual presence and understanding. The final reflection, “I never try to know much as you know, nor I wish to know as less we know,” reveals the poet’s belief in balance and simplicity. Love, for him, is not about knowing everything, but about being together in peaceful awareness, embracing the beauty of not knowing too much — a quiet transcendence of intellect through emotion.
