Notes About The Poem

The Poems I Never Wrote

The poems I never wrote,
                           are like sprawled autumn leaves…

                                     They fall..and fall…
                                             gold
                                            maroon
                                            crimson
                                             scarlet
                                              red!
                     whisper their tales to the waltzing breeze! 

                              They ferry the stories of my life..
                                              untold,
                                            unexpected,
                                            unexpressed
                                              forgotten,
                                                painful
                            tiptoe back to me from the past!

                              Love which turned into a mirage,
                              Elation which remained subdued,
                                Hope which blinded my vision,
                             Longing which left me heartbroken!

                       Poems I never wrote..painted the horizon with                                       
                                        colours of my heart!
