Chetan Bhagat says “Romantic and sweet piece”
As I sat on the bridge,
and the water gushed under me,
peacefully they slept , the violet lilacs,
the leaves rustled in the breeze…
the owl’s hoot fainted in the distance,
and the full moon shined above,
sprinkling the forest with white light .
But in me…
the melody of separation ached my heart. .
I felt as though she was there,
my hands clasped in hers.
I stared at her eyes ,
her tears dazzling in the silvery light;
the eerie stillness of the night ,
did waver by her silent smile .
The mist hovered about ,
and the winds sang a lullaby ,
rocking the daisies to sleep.
We strolled down the bridge,
not knowing what to utter .
Walked into a clearing , did we …
as the trees gave way ,
to the glistening and striding light.
The light danced on her with joy,
but , I saw her tears
tearing my heart …
I felt as though ,
she was there with me .
Not an illusion or imagination.
And yes, I could feel her hands in mine,
I could see her tears .
She brisked away..leaving me alone ..
and she stood there, at a distance .
Her face glimmered with a smile..
like a thousand rainbows
shining overhead.
She smiled again,
this time her smile touching the
chords of my heart.
I ran to her , my mind craving for her….
but she …
She was not to been seen.. .
The moon hid behind the dark clouds ,
the winds howled loudly,
the hyena’s cry echoed all around ..
the leaves and twigs fought in the winds ….
And my eyes wandered about ,
searching the darkness,
for a ray of hope n love …
The bridge stood empty,
in the midst of everything..
as I stood snatched away,
from the world of my love n life..
feeling alone n lonesome..
The darkness stretched vast;
with her , nowhere to be seen …
Across a bare branch ,
in a tree far across …
hung a lonely, tender leaf ,
struggling with the winds …
As the battle grew fierce ,
the appalling winds …
growing vicious..
pulled the leaf off its branch…
The leaf writhed with agony and pain..
as the gusts of separation,
carried it away n away..
to where it would return ….
never again….

I wouldn’t worry too much about the latter half of Chetan Bhagat’s comment. It’s more of a free verse; as is Love. 🙂 How specific and structured do we want Love to be? I liked it Samjoth. Good job!

Hi! First, Thank you for your comment to me! Even though, I have been in such a horrid rut this past year, I am glad my writings are still seen. I have read a couple of your posts and your are very descriptive and your words do bring forth emotion. I do like that you add metaphors to your writings as that (for me) brings the words to life! I would like to ask you something, though, you are writing with complete words and sentences with your prose and using punctuation as well as spelling out all words EXCEPT for the letter “n”. I realize you are using that for the word “and” …but I just do not understand why this one word? Please explain for my own peace of mind. THANK YOU and hope you have a good week ahead!

That you so much for stopping by.. And thank you so very much for the in-depth detail and feedback you have given me…It is really delightful..I am glad that you felt life in my writings and that is one of the best compliments I could ever receive..I am really grateful for that..
And the reason, to as why I have used the letter “n” instead of “and”..
It was just because in some portions I felt that I had to use an “n” so that the two words felt hand-in-hand.. I know, it’s never a correct usage but it felt it more pleasant..Those words had to blend into each other and they were to be felt of almost the same sentiment..!!
Any-ways, I am really happy that you could point it out..
Thank you for your kindness and I wish that you would visit here often, and let me know your insights which would help me a lot..
Stay happy..!!!
