The Lost Love Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

The Lost Love



My dreams once twinkled
Shined and glittered
In the vastness of my mind,
Now shattered,
Broken into bits,
Lie scattered
Down your feet,
Can you say you have
Forgotten those days?
The face beheld in them
Is not yours?
That face holds
No marks of tears?

In breeze,
The songs, you sang for me
To soothe my ailing sense,
Those threads of eternal love
Woven into my heart,
Now, upon your feet,
Lie deserted in the dust,
In rotten rust,
Can you say, you never
Touched their strings?
And they bear no pains?

In breeze, The songs, you sang for me To soothe my ailing sense, Those threads of eternal love Woven into my heart, Now, upon your feet, Lie deserted in dust, In rotten rust, Can you say, you never Touched their strings? And they bear no pains? Such amazing words can only come through a heart who knows the pain of a lost love... great read, thanks for sharing it...

keshavji........ a poet's life is something like that of a pendulum... it moves from one end to another in simple harmonic motion....... but the ends are very dangerous.....supreme bliss and grave depression.... a man with zero potential is not a poet.......... we walk through the knife edge separating life and madness....... a real squander............

A painfully written, yet elegant and enchanting poem on love lost. There is beauty created through pain.
