'My Love's Tomb ' Poem by Yamini Khanna

'My Love's Tomb '

Rating: 5.0


The voices in my head, just wouldn't rest
the heart knows it's reasons and has given it's best
My whole life's emotional investment robbed
by the Man for whom my heart once throbbed

Little did he think, before pursuing his selfish dreams
the one he ' Loved Truly ', cherished memories he cleaned
nothing mattered to him in his selfish quest
the shadows he cast, while with me abreast

I wish no more to hold onto him
start my life anew with new moon to gaze
it didn't take much, for him to destroy for his whim
set his Home, hearth and Treasures ablaze

This volcano i wish to keep alive
not allowing ever for false love to thrive
in this journey, now i'm alone
not afraid anymore, of shadows unknown

My 'Soul' to the core Pricked
thwarted, cheated, abused and tricked
He serves no 'purpose' in my life anymore
the thought of him beside me, i abhor

The 'One' i wish to now breathe for,
is the 'One' who came from my 'Womb'
Shame, a seed of my eternal love, for,
all my love for this man, now 'buried' in a 'Tomb'
