When the Lone Bird Flees

Though she holds his hands, he feels all alone As moonlit desires sense his dissonant vibes Emanating from pulses beating in discord Plundering away ambiance to vacant thoughts When a cogent conversation becomes a task. Silence he placates discarding her prompts Preferring the dark over company of stars As a lone-bird sits forlorn on a leafless branch Awaiting for daybreak to build a new nest. Steadfastly she holds on to her view of galaxy Undeterred by forces of invisible black holes Comforting his woes till he rejects her call, Deciding resolutely to abandon her place When the lone-bird flees before daybreak. November 5, 2018 Placed first in contest #520 by Brian Strand

"As a lone-bird sits forlorn on a leafless branch Awaiting for daybreak to build a new nest." Beautiful Comparison. Let her flee to open skies...! Beautiful as ever.

"Preferring the dark over company of stars," is such a poignant line and gets to the heart of this lone bird's nature, Vijay. I like the descending number of lines in each verse and sensed the loneliness throughout. Beautifully written and well deserving of a first-place win, my friend. Sorry my congrats are so late. Hugs, Carolyn
