Yet Not Forlorn…is Love! Poem by Seema Aarella

I wake in the arms
Of shattered dreams,
In the forsaken land
Of illusive love…
Where air is borne with
Painful breathe
And echoes of deafening
Screams of death.

I walked along the
Forgotten path
Strewn with bones of
Many a dead,
Painted red were the
Ruined homes,
by the broken hearts
That bled.

I write about the
Forgiven time…
After all the worse is done,
Once again it has won.
Ticking away… it’s unstoppable,
So is the legend of love on earth
There is no stopping
Of the rebirth,
In the dark womb
Of a heart somewhere
love is breathing its first air.




Forbidden for me are
A few words,
Love, laughter, dream & hope
Now they are beyond my scope,
Lifeless to me are
The musings of love…
And dear are my pains.
Just when time thought
It had killed love…yet again
Throbs of my bruised heart
Declared…
“I am falling in love…
with the tears you spared.”
