I Remain Far Behind You Poem by manaswini dash

But-
I remain far behind you
Though my wish was-
-To became a bright full moon
to be reflected in your animated eyes,
and to spread my charming light full of illusion
to stupefy you.
My wish was to-
-Wet your obstinate mind with nectar
by kissing on your thirsty lips.
-To come quietly and sit on your eyelash
and to sing a melodious song for you.
-To spread my warm lap, wet with my love and intimacy for you.
But alas!
Before I could conceive anything
This earth suddenly started burning.
In that solitary smoky road of life
all my wishes burnt to ashes,
leaving for me
a shawl embellished with lots of emotional memories.
I searched for you
But you were nowhere there
You had already gone away
from the circumference of my life
suddenly and unnoticed
And-
I remained far and far behind you.
