Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Free verse

Loneliness

A constant thought that enchants,
Is you.
An intense ache in my heart,
Is you.
Deep red that flows in my veins,
Is you.
An impulse that traverses down my nerves,
Is you.
A touch percieved as with closed eyes,
Is you.

I can hear your footsteps approach close to me,
But as I open my eyes, I find ,
It's only me and my loneliness !!
