Late For Marriage
Late for marriage
Loneliness engraved deep into my heart, I now am a mere stone. Many springs bloomed and autumns saw greens turn into orange, twilight of dusk brought no light of love as years passed by. No better than a piece of brain, I am work and all work. Ended the wait for the Prince Charming with dumped unsung unrhymed notes and plucked strings of subtle heart.
Try not mend my violin
those threads of thoughts
and hollow heart,
Try not steam my mind
those foggy images
in time forgotten,
Try not set ablaze
those dousing embers
for years frozen,
As I love my freedom
own ways with life,
As I have no feelings
to be someone's wife,
Asking buds to blossom
know the time lag,
Faded colours if shine
I might not go blind,
Words that were lost
under covers of time,
Don't unveil to set free
for everyone to see,
My embarrassment
of learning so late,
Marriage was never my fate,
I want to be just myself.
