Longing

Midnight moon - dazzling... lonely Innumerable stars blinking Eyes tearful, Clock ticks, Heart bleeds. Cherry blossoms flowering with white splendour... Sublime sight soothes a forlorn heart.. will be bare in a few days, Days will pass, months will pass, And I will not see you. my heart aches with an unquenchable longing for a glimpse of you, for those days... watched the shimmering treetops glistening with silvery snowflakes, the day... got drenched with pouring rain and splashes from the sapphire waterfalls, on a boat almost overflowing ... still wished our journey never to end, the day... gazed at the gossamer melting rays of the crimson twilight, felt the flavour of a lavender passionate yearning for each other. Stars blink, Clock ticks, Doting sleep whispers a cascade of love gently on my eyes.

Very emotive write! Your deep longing is well-conveyed. I could feel the pain of separation that you've been through. Excellently penned!! More power on your pen dear Mala.
