FEELINGS                                                                   DESOLATE HEART



                                                                                                            Cherish the warm breeze that blows in the heart                            Whenever i speak of you
                                                                                                            It was a love tale played in full part                                     I think of my heart,
                                                                                                            The fun and the frolic not withstanding                                    How arid it was!
                                                                                                            A love built in mutual understanding                                       It was hollow very much.
                                                                                                                                                                                       But you fulfilled it through your supreme love.
                                                                                                                                                                                       Then i began to enjoy life's each moment.
                                                                                                            The treasure trove of fun tumbled out
                                                                                                                                                                                       You had taken me to the world of stars
                                                                                                            You laughed merrily at my angry pout
                                                                                                                                                                                       Where my moments twinkled in joy.
                                                                                                            The yearnings were meant to be felt at ease
                                                                                                                                                                                       But all of a sudden you disappeared,
                                                                                                            O, what a bliss to be at peace.
                                                                                                                                                                                       I kept waiting as if it has no end.
                                                                                                                                                                                       Till now unable to realize
                                                                                                            The moonlit garden bathed in silvery streaks
                                                                                                                                                                                       What's my guilt?
                                                                                                            As the crescent moon winked and peeped
                                                                                                                                                                                       Please come soon to fulfill our unfinished journey
                                                                                                            The silent night beneath the studded sky
                                                                                                                                                                                       That we started together with the promise to keep up to the last.
                                                                                                            It was a feeling of undisguised high
                                                                                                                                                                                       I have been waiting for you dear
                                                                                                                                                                                       Though no conception what prevents you from coming to your beloved.
                                                                                                            Was it really a love so coy and true                                       But at least for once would like to meet.
                                                                                                            Or was it a mingling of emotions old and new                               Yes, i will wait for the day to get united,
                                                                                                            How could the night stretch out so long                                    And for that moment when your heart will be melted to behold your beloved.
                                                                                                            Lost in enchantment we never heard the distant gong
                                                                                                                                                                                       @Sujata Paul

                                                                                                            The owl hooted flurtingly and flew off on cue
                                                                                                            The countless stars took pride in our love
                                                                                                            It was feelings galore, and a love far and above.
