A Pigeon On My Roof Poem by Seema Aarella

A Pigeon On My Roof

Rating: 4.8


Our eyes met, atop the fifth floor
We exchanged a glance of pain
I could not comprehend it more
As she came, she flew again

Now perched on a higher roof
Occupied in her personal woe
Amidst the heartless a heart aloof
Stalked by wolves a frightened doe

Tears rolled down my pale cheeks
Her pain ebbed in a hidden clot
A firm plea her muteness speaks
For wars of time, she too had fought

A gloomy blue descends from sky
And coats our fragile mind
I think of home and silently cry
Her home was an impossible find

I can sense what ailed within
As she looked beyond the town
A common tide took us in
For our home we pined intone.
