A Lover's Lament- Collaboration With Paul Callus

A Lover’s Lament
(Paul Callus & Redfiery ( smriti Jha) ~ 2017)

A LOVER'S Lament 
Summer took its toll,
Dried up the waters of our love.
We found ourselves stranded
On the arid river bed
Dreaming of encroaching clouds.
We thirsted for the promise of rain
And love’s reincarnation.

Rough winds carried away all hopes 
Storm took away what we had 
We pined for winter's warmth 
But our frozen heart bled without love. 
The spring never arrived 
As dead leaves turned into ashes 
We returned to our meet, our fate. 
Alas! Summer took its toll.
