A Few Words … Poem by GOPIKA RADEESH

Walking through the deep dark woods,
Meadows underneath and starlit skies beyond.
Betwixt the twinkling stars, I found you
But then you did recede apace.
As I wandered all around,
Madly hunting your course,
You favored me with mere setbacks.
I lost my path as my quest for you thrived,
In the pervasive depths of the beryl
And in the ceaseless empyrean azure.
You fluttered but I never did perceive.
My endeavors to bag you were just futile.
Years fell of alike wilted leaves and melted crystals.
Soon did I skip your thoughts obtusely.
As I rushed behind your bogus glints,
Never once did I notice the radiant crescent,
Who waited thirstily amidst the burning pang.
In the long run, did I realize the flakes and freckles
Of your mind, muddled and baffled was I.
You lost your gleam, you lost your gallantry,
You were no more the blood stained words.
I walked solely in the memoires of the great compatriot.
Tears did never spurt, my amour remained unsaid.
Still there was the crescent of beauty,
Waiting eagerly to express the final words of the beau.
