A Sigh In The Night Poem by Reshma Ramesh

A Sigh In The Night

Rating: 2.5


On the beloved’s broken embrace
The chilly wind spread her warmth
The cold night swept the lonely streets
The frigid moon shimmered away
The dark shivered and shuddered
Even cursed the sleepy sun
I remember on such a night
The plunging skies wrote our name
In silver on the dark skies
Chattering clouds they hushed
To listen to the sighs
That spilled out deep from my chest and
Were left Strewn around my naked skin
Like leaves in autumn, shells on the sand,
With fingertips you picked them tenderly
Your lips lingering where they lay spent
Sometimes they sounded like music,
Sometimes just a whisper, they quiver,
Then hungry, now sated, fervent sighs
You pick them up with your fingers gently
Brush them with your breath slowly
Feel them with your eyes shut
Press them in the pages of your heart
To be shut and opened years later
To remind us of this cold November night
