Seeking Solace Poem by Monita Soni

What do I want……?

Do I know?

Do you know
Can the stars that peep
From behind gray clouds
Tell?

Why I clasp your hand
Or swing it from time to time
Why do I trip
To an unsung song?

Do I know you?
Or...... what is in your heart
Do the sleeping moonbeams
Have a clue?

When I kiss you
Do the raindrops
Dancing on the windowpanes
Know my pain?

Why I burn?
With desire not sated
And finally sleep
Cradling my heart

In my own hands……
