Lost Love

While close, you appear distant in the mirror of my dreams,
Living nearby, whole neighborhood seems absent in my heart,

The image of love is fearful and uncertain in core,
The sky filled with dark rainy clouds  seems restless in my heart.

Seeking companionship in the vast oasis of love,
Distant mirages dance in lonely desert of my heart,

Desiring to share pain, there is a yearning in our moods,
Yet, no one listens to these desires of desolate heart.

The relationships formed in numerous moments in life,
Shatter within the walls of discord of my perplexed heart.

Golden dreams, palaces gleam, jewels abound, and love divine,
The palaces transform into ruins, dreams shattered in my heart.

Loneliness echoes in this haunting unfamiliar world,
Unselfish virtue is rarely found in this realm of heart.

The price of affection cannot be compared with jewels,
Lost love resonates in the gardens of hope of my heart.

"Golden dreams, palaces gleam, jewels abound, and love divine, The palaces transform into ruins, dreams shattered in my heart." A soul stirring poem of loss and longing ! The melancholic tone is gripping ! Still there is hope at the end....
