I Wonder If Its Savour Would Remain

« In love, mother.. ! » sobbing words an echo, like no other the chokes and the pain, I recall who was to blame for all that did befall? What if that love made sense and the doors of heaven were open to the voice of ardour that could raze every single fence we would to emotions have given vent! What if I failed to see through a mind “that road was not to take” from a dream I was told I had to wake.. What if I had the power of belief In the beauty of that love In a sweet ache that was so brief and so harsh.. What if I could into my safe keep that treasure between his ribs ever vibrant, a rich seep I might have walked paths of wonder! I wonder what would that love to me have brought? what would have been to change a lot? What if I now could see the one that got away that one who stole my heart in its heyday would I recognise that feel again? the taste of loss, would it be the same? the pain of love, I wonder if its savour would remain! “What ifs” the power to capture the beauty of the past and transcend it to the wonder of the dream! The nature of soul would never stand still as the river of serenity whose current unseen flows to reach the ocean with a spirited will So is a poet whose pen has been drinking from the river of life filled with true words to the brim..

This is simply awesome--a poem laden in emotions of yore holding a dialogue with the past that got away. Those "what if" lines resonate youthful feelings we all had at some point. I found the essence in these lines..What if I had the power of belief In the beauty of that love In a sweet ache that was so brief and so harsh. Well done, Besma. I am saving this in my FAVES.
