The landscape of my sorrow
Stretches ahead of me
I wander the paths of unhappiness
Desolate and lost
Despair greets me at every turn
The aftermath an injection of pain
Its venom fills my body
Hope walks in the shadow of pain
Fragile like a flower
She might get crushed yet…
Rootless_Wanderer
Locked away in dark recesses yet the memory still lingers on
The love that died a slow death
It had bloomed like a sunflower in the spring sun
Survived years of autumns and winters
That one night destroyed it
They thought they would weather the storm
But this one blew them off course
Destroyed their moorings
Left them stranded dry and without the roof called love..
I know I know..its corny but the words would not stop :)
For years, they had danced perfectly together
Timing, style and rhythm all got down to a tee
They used to shock bystanders
With the way their bodies moved in unison
Swaying to the music
When did the break happen?
A mis-step here and there
When did he start jiving and she waltzing?
Then came that one last time
She moved as if she was part of him
Eternal lovers playing out their parts
He stared into those deep brown eyes
Knowing that the end was in sight
They walked away from each other
Not looking back
A slight hesitation at the final step
Remembering all the years gone by
I found her as I wandered
Lost in the shadows of an alleyway
In her red ghaghra choli
She razzle dazzled
Her red and gold bangles
Shiny lil diamond stud on her nose
Her red bindi struck chords
In my yearning heart
Her shy eyes refused to meet my gaze
A mystery in the making
I found her as I meandered
In the night time
An avenue with no trees
Neon and bright lights surrounded me
She smouldered and struck a pose
Her little red dress showed off more than it should have
Her glossy black eyes promised nothing and everything
She met my gaze head on without faltering
Just being herself – bold and uncompromising
