I Carry You Within Poem by Karan Tripathi

Lingers within me; a part of you
A forgotten truth; bliss of youth;
Hidden yet known,
To this humble heart,
Where you belong; in my songs

Conspired by stars; this liaison of ours
Jealous shall be the angels;
Traces of you; I feel
When rain pours down on my libel lips

You promised; you said
We’ll make love all night;
You’ll be there to soothe my sobbing soul.
Am I betrayed?
To destiny, I ask
Why give a pain, worse than death


When I close my eyes; I see
You’re still there within me
Laughing on my obtuse deeds
I can’t
Let you go my dear
I carry you within.

This world is damned
They find you in rocks and prayers
I harp, rather;
On a forgotten fact
If two was ever one; it was us.

Your gift; for Christmas
Is hanging on the Louvre
Roses of valentine,
Still blossoming like you.
Your coffee cup, is still warm
Your favourite purse, I ordered
And hope to get it soon.

It’s the truth, never spoken;
Feeling never confessed.
It’s a secret for which sky shall fall
It’s a song never sung.
You may go afar,
Where the dastard destiny drags you along
How hard they try; they’ll never win
Baby, I carry you within.
I know you know that I know
Oh dear,
I carry you within.
Within this heart; nothing can tear apart.
It’s the song, I always sing
Baby, I carry you within
I carry you within.
