Reincarnation Of Red Roses Poem by Smrithi Padmakumar

I know, you are away!
I know my voice, wont reach you!
I know the power of miles,
to take away my soul from you!

I wish I could forget you!
I wish I could tear those memories, but
I want you to know, I fail dear!
Im failing even now!

I know, I have enough,
Enough shadows to hate you!
But, I still fail-
Because,
The word you evoked in me,
Is still killing me!

I pleaded-
"God, make me forget",
But he didn't listen,
And instead,
He still makes me the same!

Am i cursed?
Cursed or destined-
To live in its magic
Magic of hope or woe?

I know our world
Made us distant
I like to think so
And I feel-
You wont hear me again!
But I wish you could erase
Erase that life!

I tried to cremate the colours
Cremate them alive!
But the rain was cruel
Cruel to me-
They are awake!

The red roses weep within me!
The word you gifted
I still cant believe-
It ended that way!
And that word
Alone inflicts pain!
Pain-I will bear
But not the hopes!
They are mirages
Which vanish away!

I don't know
It might again deceive!
I don't know-
What is going to be the zenith!
Where my life ends!

But i just know one thing!
The red roses reincarnate again!
I wish-my tears could atleast
Whisper in your dreams!
