Flight Of Fancy Poem by Payal Lalwani

In this darkness, you were my light
in hard reality of life,
a flower to touch,
a land barren, you were, but my child.



You were mine to cherish and love,
but you flew away far and, I could only stare hard
and not even cry;
for my love did stifle,
and as light as a feather, you flew away far
taking to places unknown.
I wish I could fly but with clipped wings
I can't even try.
I thought my love would take me high, but it was perhaps doomed
at the very start.
