Sonali Ray
Wherever i go i feel you
Whatever I look at
I see you,
Sometimes
I feel like a cauldron
steaming spirit
simmering memories
bubbling emotions
smoking heart
encircled by embers,
*
the morning breeze–
that we once enjoyed
now feels heavy
with the warmth of your love,
the spurting brook that–
runs down the stony gradient
doesn’t taste sweet anymore,
the daisies, the lavender fields–
on which we spent cuddled nights
counting the galaxy
lacks the twinkling lustre,
*
the agony still lingers
at the core but the lips
have learnt to shine,
the pores recall
every drop of pain but
the heart hasn’t yet
forgotten to adore,
the tears don’t trickle
anymore but a salt pan
blurs the vision,
love united our souls
And love left us all alone,
*
fragments of yore
like an imperceptible twine
cramps the veins
forbids the chasm
not allowing,
the touch of your fingers
the warmth of your lips
the scent of your breath
to enter the vacuum named Heart.💚

Thank you Rupali💚
Crazy, right? How things that once felt magical with the touch of love now begins to feel bland in its absence? Well put!
Thank you Sanjukta… Magic of moments… When happy passes in a blink but drags when melancholic… 😃💚
Love’s but a passing fancy! Very beautifully worded Sonali!
While writing this I was reminded of Gulzar’s lyric : Hum me dekhe hai in aankhon mein mehkte Khushboo. Just a passing thought💚
Thank you mumtaz💚😍
