Sunset is clouded by pain
Hides behind
Lost happiness
__
You really know, how deep is your love
When you loose her
In few words

Life in little steps of love
Falling, leaving, goodbyes and then denial
Happiness bleeds in little steps
__
One night of a life time
__________
The night went on and on
Some times in words
Some times in thoughts
Some times the silence
Took over the lightness of our being
And soared above our dreams
A life time to spend
A life time to walk
A life time to share
And a life time to talk
The night’s window
Fluttered open
The gate way to our stars in the sky
The Milky Way bridged the night
To the morning light
And she said to wake her up
To say good bye
How sad it is, that I did
Now
That hug
And our clasped hands
That took her away
Still lasts in me, eternally
As my heart echoes, on and on
Don’t go, my love, don’t go so far

Submitted for One Shot Wednesday
The loneliness and severance of parting, but also the beauty and warmth of the night shared. Peace even in the pain. A beautiful write.
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of years ago when I had to say goodbye to my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) before leaving for the military. It was but one night, walking an old dirt road under a starlit sky, but it seemed like we shared a lifetime in those few hours before saying goodbye. That really touched me.
ReplyDeleteSuch emotion in well stated lines, Shashi. One night of a life time is an excellent poem. My favorite of your writing this week was one of the stanzas before the second poem... "Life in little steps of love" excellent how the remainder of it reads like steps taken. Always enjoy reading your work. Cheers, my friend.

life is lots of little steps...each one deliberate, otherwise...not much of a life...
ReplyDeleteboth lovely and sad, and so much beautiful imagery in this one. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThe first poem is excellent.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if she went so far as to never return... It felt so final and sad--her leaving.

These words touched me:

ReplyDeleteShort Poems
What a beautiful way to say goodbye. I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite stanza is:
ReplyDeleteThe night went on and on
Some times in words
Some times in thoughts
Some times the silence
especially the last line ... the silence.
Bidding farewell to someone dear is both beautiful and sad. To be sad is a privilege of being human. Just imagine if we could not feel sad.
