Tale of a lonely heart (Free verse) by Bhaskaryya
Nurtured betwixt eyelashes
Cradled by silver moonshine
Breastfed by emotions subdued
A young dream gently conjures
Within the bolted entrails
Of my lonesome heart;
Opening the prison of my soul
And allowing my rusted thoughts
To sear up high and once more
Transcend the boundaries of free air-
Elevated much higher from ground reality.
And with the placid breeze drifts along
The sweet aroma of your presence,
Mingled with the mellow whispers
Of your soothing voice calling out
None but my name!
Yet again, I embrace you in my longing arms
And the dew drops cascading from my eyes
Falls upon your tender lips
As they softly touch upon mine.
Those dark braids of yours
Cover me within yourself
Casting me away forever (or so I think)
From this dreary and futile world
And once more you fill up the void in my heart
Created by yourself in the ânowâ distant reality.
Itâs loneliness herself, I realize,
Who beckons you once more to me,
Though she knows she is bidding farewell
To her own existence.
(Till another morn!)
