Do Not Knock

At the door of my heart I hear a knock It is late and all are in slumber deep And the door jammed like a rock Fruitless to wake up emotions asleep Once a jasmine faced entered this door For decades knocking sound’s unheard Why to entreat, why to conjure With wings clipped, I’m a caged bird She has left behind love’s fragrance Her images are flowering in my eyes Every recess reflecting her radiance My life her vivid memories glamorize She left and yet occupies her dwelling In a sunny day and in moonlit night Her memories come and go without telling Brilliant like vision, sparkling like light. My deserted heart needs no recompense To revive its liveliness and effervescence This door can never ever be ajar Do not knock whoever you are!
