My Love My Yearn
Wade through the love’s waters so shallow,
Both of us, hands entwined like a gallow.
Wade did she,
Wade did me.
Above our necks the furious waters rose,
Trod we together, steps softly with no morose,
Spellbound we moved without a care,
Deeper and deeper where no one would dare!
Trod we, further unto the middle we reached,
Realized she, now an early vow she had breached,
No further she could wade,
But bitter memories afar refrained they to fade.
Drifting by now so weak was she,
So clasped them eyelids so all she could see was me,
A time came on when a boat roared by,
A wave it created, it washed her eyes.
The heady din grown a was peaking,
Alas! Her dream was at an end that she was seeking.
The fingered band, beacon it began,
A time had come her life to regain.
Realized, she that moments spent in love,
Will fly away now like the dove.
Struck her like a bolt to her love away,
Will he take me home today?
Guessed she by now that the time was over for her space,
And on the pathway her love left behind in a cold place.
A now thinks she that dwells in another dimension,
Me, left aghast to brood and fate too cruel to mention.
Ghastly her act, all this land had never been,
People shun now me disheartened lover whenever I be rarely seen.
All I do is sit staring and gawking at the door,
For I believe that the path will bring her once more…………
