Two romantic poems on love’s greatest mysteries and the human emotions that characterize them.
We never bade Adieu. Nor did we wish each other The very best.
Parting
Did we even part?
We never bade
Adieu.
Nor did we wish each other
The very best.
It was just that we
Stopped
Exchanging those daily
Nothings.
But then a part of me
Knew
That you were always
There.
The part that you left
Hollow.
The throbbing part that
Remembered
And deeply exhaled
Always.
The part that always
Hoped
That parting is simply
A volatile illusion!
————–
Yearning
Are we all always
United?
The part that fantasizes our
Parting
Keeps on aching, nagging, sobbing
Longing
With deep, deeper, long breaths… waiting
Lingering
Burning with impatience
As time keeps on dragging
The days of bitter, sweet craving.
