My Dream Still Sits on the Last Bench



My dream still sits on the last bench,
From where two pairs of eyes,
Placed far away from each other,
Stared for hours,
Longing to be together.

What was love …
Those innocent eyes were far from aware of.
Yet love was what dribbled from there.

Meekly goes hazy all;
Forcing one pair of eyes,
To quest for the other,
In the digs of darkness.

Darkness grows deeper and deeper,
Diluting the other pair;
With the clock striking the early rays;
Into the light of actuality.

For the second time,
Light fades away,
To the dim,
Leaving …
My dream, yet again, on the last bench …
For one more glimpse.

That One Letter ...



 

That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Still tears trickle down my eyes,
When I read,
That one letter!

Not painted with Victorian Odes,
Not embellished with Shakespearean Sonnets,
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Still stirs my existence!

Feelings covered beneath the dust of being,
Thoughts imprisoned in the cage of mind,
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Hummed the unconditional love of two kids,
Who grew up to witness the loss.

Still …

That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Livened the love which remained unloved!

Praises, weeps, laughter,
Love, hate, wrath,
Despair, nostalgia, longing
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Embraced tightly the grains of precious sands
That …
Trickled down slowly,
Emptying the relics
Of feelings, thoughts, and unsurpassed love
Stored like jewels in their hearts.

That one letter! Yes that one letter
is only what remains ...
