The love she longed for
The love that she was promised
The love of her lifetime that she yearned for, was..
So close to her yet miles away
Day & night she waited for him
Just to hear..
The three most precious words that..
The Cupid has engraved in
Every love bird’s heart
But unfortunately…
A wishful dream it was!
With the rising Sun each day
A new hope was born
Sparking up…
A much awaited ray of light
Strength of the day it became
Energising her spirit
Patiently she went about her work
Soon evening approached and..
With the setting Sun
Darkness, the queen of night
Enshrouding Mother Earth
Sat on her majestic throne
To reign over the world of silence
Perceiving it her heart sank
Love, like life is unpredictable
She mumbled to herself
It dampened her spirit
But..
With a smile she murmured to herself
‘So what, if not today then tomorrow is still there?
The Sun will rise again and with it..
Another day of hope & love will arise
I’ll have a fresh new day to live for…
My love!
Think not for a moment that
I love him not, for
My love for him is unfathomable
He may ignore me
He may not even care for me as much as I do, but if ..
Even the thought of him brings..
Not only a smile on my face but also..
Sends my heart into a pit a pat
Skipping race
I can live with it
It may not last for long but
Maybe I’ll survive
If God wishes me to live a lonely life
So shall it be!
My heart will surely break and..
My life will be strewn with thorns of misery ..
Pricking my very existence
Making it wretchedly pathetic
While I’ll just stand helplessly watching…
My love waiting for My Love to come home to me
I know what is to happen will surely happen
For..
One can fight with anyone & anything
But not with Destiny
The final authority of our fate!
Some may deny this but the fact is
We are nothing beyond being…
Puppets & slaves
In the hands of Destiny that
Puts a seal on everything in the journey of our life!
I hope & pray that sooner or later..
A Ray of Sunshine will creep out of the cloudy sky of my life to..
Light up my little world of love and
Happiness!’

A poem of profound balance of love and despair , hope and uncertainty , light and darkness , desire and surrender to the will of almighty !
Very poignant and a universal longing for love that eludes more often than is returned 🌷
as always your poems ms bannore wound around life and its mysterious sweet and sour cadences…. residing and taking refuge in fate and destiny so as to lessen our sorrow nonetheless, the strain of sadness still envelopes those who seek solace in fate and destiny and that’s what human life is all about . The furrows never fade upon losing a loved one and that is the irony of life! Thanks for the lyrical beauty of the poem; I enjoyed reading it even as my heart felt the painful emotions conveyed so naturally.
Thanks Jaya & Ms Diwakar. Yes it’s true life is full of ups & downs and each one of us has to find solace in some way or the other to ease the sufferings & pain that would otherwise make our life intolerable.
