Poem
ASKING MY KEYS BACK You found the keys to my heart Unlocked the door walked in. You dusted off the unused house, Opened the windows, let it begin. You set up the gas stove, cooked delicacies. The aroma of your love, spread throughout. Crease on the carpet, you straightened. The ones that had accumulated without. Then came the night, when you wore the dress Spread the rose petals, set the bed. Lights were turned off; it was pretty dark. Yet, for the first time, my heart glowed bright red. The house that had never been inhabited, Was finally full, satisfied, well-fed. The twist of fate, but, came uninvited A storm shook up our roots, leaving us bereft. You turned off the light, closed the windows, Packed your bags, locked the door and left. Each time I sent a note your way The sound echoed back with no effect. But you still have the keys to my heart. You left it frothing and hopeful to claim. The house is still owned by you Even though it’s not on your name. So now I’m asking my keys back, Let someone open the door to the rain. The void is relentlessly painful. Let it get inhabited again. If you like this poem, check out a more detailed and better version of this and other works of mine on my blog. You may also find the inside the scoop, inspiration, technique of writing for your intrigue on the blog, just a click away http://shivammurarispoetry.blogspot.in/2015/12/asking-my-keys-back.html See you there :)
