Lost in the wilderness of love
She walks across this land
Which were laid with roses once
Now reduced to sand
In every speck of dust floats
The memories of those days
Those times of fun and laughter
And those pleasant ways
The dust rises and settles
And she sees those faces
Which in the mist of her mind
Have left inerasable traces
She lost them with the gust of a wind
And paid the dues of her life
And now each new day
To live means to strive
She walks here now
With the desire in her head
Either they return
Or she be dead.
Wow! Your poem gave me goose bumps. It's beautiful and poignant.
thanx a lot for the compliment.i'm glad u liked it.
I'm not a poet or a critic, I just know what I like.
It caught the essence of 'despair' at the loss of a 'connection'.
[welcome to a2k, where in India, if i may be nosey?]
i'm from mumbai...does that spark any memories or controversies?
A friend of ours, from a2k, is in India doing political mediation and conflict resolution. She (dagmaraka) was headed north to Nagaland (can't find it on a map).
