It is a dismal, eerily, darkest of dark nights.
A crack of lightning sends shivers down your spines.
She waits by the window, as she’s done every night
Staring into the darkness for a sign from her knight.
If I make a wish to chase the dark away
Will you see my tears that glisten in a sullen way.
Will you hear my whisper in the boughs that sway
From the autumn winds that whip and stray.
Oh, for the sound of his footsteps on the front porch she yearns
Alas! He will not come, the thought pricks like thorns.
Wish I could keep you locked in my heart
With memories of your touch, murmur against my lips,
and the gentle touch that strokes and soothes.
But that night has fallen to skies of gray
Turning into a fake smile and a nod
Making me contemplate the obvious, where is it that I went wrong?
Nicely penned, Shalini. Glad to read your poem after a while. 🙂 How are you?
Thanks, Vinitha. I’m good. Just a lil’ sad. All alone for Diwali and thinking about the last one. Hope you are good!!
🙂 So sad. ♥ Smile, Shalini! Why the melancholy?
All alone for Diwali. 🙁 Hence the sadness!
Very well penned and making the emotions come alive. Light a diya of happiness and everything shall turn into gold. Happy Diwali, Shalz
Hugs Shalini! I could read between the lines of this post!
My first Diwali abroad, away from home – the laughter, card games, mum’s food. But making the best with what is here…went and bought few diyas today.
Sending love, happiness and light your way. Cheer up, my friend. And Happy Diwali 🙂
Why you are so sad,
Why are you so lonely,
We are here to make you glad,
We are are your cheerleaders only,
Alone you are not,
Just look around,
Friends you have a lot,
Virtually they can be found,
They drive away the lonely feeling,
And will Wipe your tears,
Albeit they cant replace everything,
But they will try to bring your cheers.
Smile and lots of love 🙂
