She walked in the midnight hours
With some fond memories.
Her road ahead was unknown
As changes had begun!
Life took a sharp unforeseen turn
As intimacy crumbled,
And sensuous rain came to a standstill.
The heart shuffled its colours
From dazzling light to pitch darkness!
She took her stride...
With a dry flower in hand
From the native graveyard,
Longing furthermore
With her deepest will
For gaining strength
To step into a new world,
Thus pursuing the blurred mirage
Of lost paradise...

Not everything is lost! Hope lingers! The gates of paradise can open anytime! Though the poem started on a melancholic tone, the positive note at the close is relieving! Greatly enjoyed! !
Very nice poem sad but nice tone. Liked the flow and feel while reading. Well done.
A sad story is vividly narrated in beautiful images enhancing the theme of lost love and grief.
Paradise was lost but then it was regained. Sometimes we find ourselves plunged in the valley of despair. Sooner or later we see the light at the end of the tunnel and dig ourselves out. Please read my poem Valley of Despair. Loved this one.
She should have walked with cautious steps and the distance covered already is quite long! The last phase may be with little suffering we hope. What is great about this poem is Indrani Bhaduri`s precise and meticulous rendering of the thoughts into a short and meaningful write of the kind. The diction has been apt and meaningful.
A poem of strength, this is life, that change has to take place in order for us to grow, A remarkable poem indeed.
I gave this a 10. Excellent poem of the strength it takes to step into a 'new world' after the passing of a mate. Love it!
