Bye Poem by yamini peethambaran

The journey yet to begin
The silvery pall shone bright
Mist pouring on December night
Were the lips trembling?
Agony in eyes, the deep wells up roar
Was it a dew dropp adorning her chin?
Words silver, silence golden
The ivory touch was vivid in her soul.
Alighting the steps she glanced
Her heart pounding- race of time
Hours passed as seconds
Biding bye to the imagery that-
Inspired her to live a thousand nights.
Lanterns now seemingly low
The great one is about to rise
Mist shall wither in his hands
Awakening of the universal truth
As the motor hit the wheels
Glistening her eyes, shivering in cold
She glared through the corner
To capture the last glimpse of light and sound
Caged in her eyes down the memory lanes
The negative imprint now in her soul
She strode her knots as the cool breeze tossed
There in one of there winding roads
I lived my life as I longed it to be.
Spring in now, I wondered
The great valleys had the fragrance
Lilies daffodils bowing their heads
As they strode, as two red crests.
Chirping and murmuring they howled past
The emotions restive, beaming eyes
Besieged by love they flew and
Ploughed through the dessert of carefree souls
Time the inevitable has strolled in
The pall of grief struck them hard
as she boarded escorted by agony
he stood bewildered- has she got to go?
Retracing the moments of joy
The agony burning in her soul
The fire has leapt up in the heart
How he longed to stand still
The piercing eyes the prying thoughts
Restless he stood, immobile
Appeasing his soul- the parting was in evitable
Disseminating his sorrows he puffed
Choked as strangled, he waved her
A shudder that strained his nerves
The trail maddened his fantasy
Leap in and fondle her in arms
Alas! A toy in the shop of destiny
The last beats of motor
Now nay vivid blinding his vision
The pearls of chaste emotions now swelled up
The moments of joy caged in souls!
