Heart Aches... Poem by kunjubi varghese

That evening, when I bid farewell to you,

I could discern the love ablaze in your eyes;

Crying with its mute twinge of the soul, flowing out

As tear drops through the corners of your eyes.

However you tried in vain, to contain those tears,

The stream of intense passion came out

As a cascade of nectar, breaking its waves

Flailing in my heart, with its torrent of despair.

My pulsating lips, stole the honey drops from

The trembling eyelids, while the moans

Of sobbing grief, you rubbed into my chest,

As blossoms, of kisses, incessantly...

In that gloaming, while remaining in the cloister of your

Unfulfilled aspirations, erupted rue sodden sighs…

Playfully we laughed, amused in mirth, wrangled in love,

Teased each other, hugged later, and embraced to become

One, in the emerging dreams of our excitement,

In the moonlight of our tingle, we smothered

And savored, the cloying lasciviousness, of our heart.


In the furnace, of this mid-summer night, solitude

Brings the vacillating memories, of that night, into me.

Like a green canopy over my head, chilling, and. filling sweetness.

I melt in that rapture, and then again search your moistened eyes.

Do not cry my love! Never fill those eyes with your sniveling.

The aches in your heart by the absence

Will soon end; I am on my way to your presence….
