As a gentle breeze ruffled through my hair,
my thoughts roamed wide and far;
Though many years have passed since,
as if it was only yesterday I wince;
Those glorious eyes, that sweet smile,
of infinite radiance visible away from many a mile;
Those words of support when I hung by your shoulders,
those hands holding mine guiding me around life’s many boulders;
Though many years have passed since,
as if it was only yesterday I wince;
The beautiful feeling that people call love,
can dwarf all other experiences into meaninglessness somehow;
It can make us smile through tears,
it can embolden us through our fears;
I long for those wonderful moments ever,
being ready to trade everything I have just to love you forever;
Though many years have passed since,
as if it was only yesterday I wince;
I feel misery, I feel pain,
your sudden departure tries to kill all hope in vain;
Yet there is one thing I know for certain,
That I will love you until the close of my life’s curtain;
Though many years have passed since,
as if it was only yesterday that I wince; and somehow surprisingly rejoice …
A very emotional poem
The poem is beautiful … And those repetitive lines in the poem both in the beginning and in the end makes it strong and effective …
To know love, loss and to rejoice is to move on, cradling the pain and the precious memories. Touching.
” as if it was only yesterday that i wince..” the more you ” wince” the stronger you “rejoice”……..afterall life is a bunch of oxymorons intrinsically woven…. written well
🙂
Rushing, tearing past emotions so dear,
my dreams fleeting, my boughs breaking,
I closed my eyes tight,
to keep you warm inside them…..forever !!!!!! 😉
Sethulakshmi: Wow !! Strongly tender lines … Very beautiful !
ahem ahem!!!
