Jilted Poem by Seema Jayaraman

Jilted

To feel your warm fuzziness
Wrapped all around me
To wind myself like raw silk
The cocoon of your larval form

I snoop tattered memories
When sloshed sky high
And remember the heat
Of your strong embrace

Secret rendezvous many dusk's
Beneath our favourite giant tree
In the encircled park, your shoulders
Cozily cradled on my lap

When all we could see inches away
Moon and stars in each other's eyes
The soft rustle of your breath
Blowing crimson on my cheeks

Firing the flames of hot passion
Carousing lividly bursting hearts
Drumming fingers unbuttoned a rhythm
To tongues frolicking in passion

Whence we scratched eternal love
On brown weather tattered barks
I see the scars from vantage sight
As I pass by in wizened day light

Someday before I close my eyes
You need to tell me why, Oh why
Did you have to leave like smoke
Blown clean by a callous breeze

Do you from your new space in life
Look back with heavily bleeding heart
With bitter bile of betrayal on lips
Regret love you left so soullessly jilted
