Yet Again Poem by Meena Iyer

Yet again, I remember
The days bygone,
Shimmering embers

Rose tinted,
It glints,
Like sapphire


Your silky hair unchecked
Wild with the wind,
Golden specked

Like stars in the sky,
your teeth,
pearls of light

Your eyes,
Slowly enticed
Like darkness of the night


Still sends a tremor, Down my spine, Still... I quiver

Gloriously free, I was
In your arms
Ah your thousand charms!

Caught in a mire,
Indeed, I burn,
In unrestrained desire

Alas, promises written on sand
swept away,
Leaves nothing behind

Imprinted in memory, retained forever, frozen in time

Yet again I ache,
At night, wide awake,

Yet again I await,
The day break

Yet again for me
The clouds wept

The rains kept my company
As the world slept

Yet again....
