Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

A World Without You

Shattered dream of hushed night
Trapped in tenebrous nightmare
A world without you, a forlorn cry, 
Vacant stare of lonesome life
Aching to hear your loving voice.

A chorus of sweet angelic hymn
Saddened to remain unsung,
A charming ballad of romance
Distressed to fade unheard.

An allegory of impassioned love
Woefully abandoned unwritten,
An album of cherished memories
Left unfinished and unspoken.

Muzzled voice of an empty nest--
A robin’s roost bereft of eggs,
A nightingale strumming tunes of ache--
Its lyrics trembling in latent pain.

A world without you, quite barren--
A spring shriveled in wintry freeze
Wishing for life’s ornate revelries,
Longing vibrant summer flowers
And autumn’s fiery zealous splendor.
