Ashok Kumar Mishra Poet Free verse

I Stumble

I Stumble

In the nights, when there's no lights
I woke with these thoughts
And lit the candles!

The illuminated darkness, reminds of you
I seek for light from the candle
At the corner of my room, to the rays
I stare keen and I stumble

Along the road, when I walk
I see my left, that you could be there
But the falling leaves from the trees
Reminds of you and I stumble

Watching the TV, after I reach
From office to home, I look for you
I could put my head on your lap
To Take your warmth and kisses few
While filled with these thoughts
I stare keen and then I stumble!

~Ashok Kumar Mishra
