Eyes When Opened In Slumber! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Eyes When Opened In Slumber!

Rating: 4.7


Crossed the river with broken heart
Buckled it with the threads of time.
Thoughts when flew into my breath
Tears went rolling down my pen,
Relieving my heart from extreme twinges.
Feet got impaired as I progressed
While the heartbeats in past dead wood
Wanted to ponder and yonder.
Shabby memories opened its eyes in slumber
While seasons fell off one after another!

Memories that bring smiles are forgotten when someone makes us laugh, but memories that bring tears in eyes are never forgotten, such memories accumulate, and tears do not know the poor heart has a limited space and it will burst. How much it can inflate!

Sad memories keep surging in our mind, causing a flood of tears! Unfortunately happy memories won't linger for long and are easily forgotten!
