The Wail Of A Love Letter Poem by Valsa George
The Wail Of A Love Letter
Carrying the fever and heat
Of love’s first flame
I set out on a journey
Expectant and anxious,
Sealed and tight lipped
All emotions bottled.
From port to port I journeyed
Travelling in a tiny love vessel
What heavy cargo of dreams I carried
With the scent of memories perfumed
Did a black cat cross my path?
Behind all veils of cloud
Hope lingered
My spirit….
Pulsating inside
My senses….
Waiting for the moment of beatitude!
Skyward I flew
Floating through the air
To land finally in your trembling hands
Dreaming of a nameless delight
Bursting open at the earliest moment
With my heart beats rising hoarse
You slit my mouth,
Pulled my soul out.
But,
Gnarling at my face
Mercilessly you tore me into bits
And threw me into the bin
In the Westerly wind
Slivers of me flew about
Like ghosts unable to get back to their graves
After whirling naked in the gust of wind
Pieces of me fell down one by one
To lie inert on the ground
Gasping for the final breath
Did the firmament tattooed by stars
Mock at my pitiable plight!
Sometimes life plays a cruel joke and when we unwrap the beautiful wrapper of our expectations the content inside go up in smoke! Enjoyed the vivid description and the rich imagery of this poem.

Temperamental and whimsical nature of love are aptly captured in the poem. An impressive write that resonates with reality of heartbreak. Well conceived and elegantly penned. Thanks for sharing Valsa.
You're phenomenal, my poetess. You may not know what reading you does to me, each time. Happy is my young soul interacting with one of the best poets of my time. More grace, Valsa.
Oh No! Love hurts always... But Love always wins too. Love teaches us so many things. It is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. I truly believe this. You have captivated Love in the form of a ship, taken it to the sky, wound it in the wind, rolled it on earth, and entwined it in the soul. very beautiful!
