Jay Narain Poet Free verse

Please don't go

Wait for me, my sweet heart, don’t go, 
About you, I dreamed all my blossoming youth, 
My heart serenaded you with my love song, 
Alas, they were lost in the whispering wind. 

Wait for me, my sweet heart, don’t leave me behind, 
With the grace of God, you came to me as a runway star, 
With love and affection, we marched on life’s treacherous paths, 
On one sad day, you said good bye and never returned. 

Wait for me, my sweet heart, don’t leave me alone, 
My hope to be with you lingers in my heart, 
My joys are desolate, my songs have lonely tunes, 
My tears dried in the core of my heart. 

Wait for me, my sweet heart, till I am satisfied, 
With love overcoming grief, with love conquering all the hurdles, 
Till all my dreams and desires get fulfilled, 
Sweet heart, please don’t go!

Speaks Volumes September 3, 2025 at 9:19 AM Your words touched me so, Jay. You sent tears trickling down my cheeks as your poem tugged at my heartstrings and played such a melancholy song. You are a very talented writer. Your friend Wen.

Sotto Poet September 3, 2025 at 1:12 AM Jay, the loss of love is so poignantly depicted in this poem.

Valsa George September 2, 2025 at 8:49 PM "With love and affection, we marched on life’s treacherous paths, On one sad day, you said good bye and never returned." I discern your own story and your deep personal sorrow, resonated in these lines. Be comforted. She waits at the other end of the bridge.
