Stars Witness

The clock ticks.
       Fervently my heart beats faster, 
Gaze intently at the hushed dark night-sky studded with scintilating stars, 
With a glorious full Moon strangely gleaming till the resplendent dawn emerges, 
       Ardently ponder about the fascinating  days
       We spent together! 

        Stars, stars, you are inexplicably quiet, 
        luminous you shine, 
Are you going to keep our captivating story
        Concealed in your hearts, 
        Although the story is mine! 

        A truly unique poignant story, 
        Which only the stars can tell, 
        The only noiseless witness, 
Of love, and passion, of longing and compassion, 
        Of sadness and deprivation, 
        Of a miraculous bondage! 

        Stars blink, 
        The clock ticks, 
        My heart bleeds! 

                        
                                                First Place 
                            For  All Yours (February 21) Poetry Contest

Sadness probably is the unavoidable part of life. Sorry for making you sad - My next poem has to be a happy one! Thanks for reading.
