Whispers of You in the Silence

 

In the quiet of the night, I feel the space,

Where once you stood, now an empty place.

The moon casts shadows, soft and low,

But none can match your gentle glow.

The stars, they whisper across the sky,

In their twinkling, I hear your sigh.

A universe vast, yet you're not near,

In every silence, it's you I hear.

The breeze carries memories, sweet and clear,

Of laughter shared, of joy, of cheer.

Yet in its wake, a single tear,

For all I wish, is you were here.

In dreams, I find you close once more,

We dance on some celestial shore.

But morning breaks, and dreams must fade,

Leaving behind the love we made.

So I'll hold tight to what once was,

To every memory, every cause.

For though you're gone, the love still true,

In every beat, my heart calls for you.

Echoes of Lost Love: A Sonnet of Longing and Memories

Staring at nowhere, bringing back the clock

Haven't forgotten those moments we shared.

Stacked-up memories hidden and unlocked,

Sadness, longing, wandering never bared.

That green eyes, who's smiling at my beauty,

And that red lips, talking sweet words for me,

Your Southern accent though may sound groovy,

My heart cradles the pain nothing like a scree.

Oh, Love, where are those green eyes and red lips?

I missed the cymbals ringing through my ears.

Tears no one can fix but your hand that grips

Cries that you would never see, crimson tears.

How I wish we could touch hands, bare our souls,

but now I'm dancing with your ghost of woes.

Far Away

I am looking at you, but you didn't notice.

I am talking to you, but you're not listening.

I am touching your face, but you're fast asleep

I am holding your hands, but you take them away

I am trying to make you laugh, but you just frown at me

I am kissing you, but your thoughts are far away from here.

The stare you had set on me before

 .. is no longer there.

The eagerness you shared with me when we talk back then

 .. is now lost in the air.

The attention you had given me even when you're about to fall asleep

 .. is nowhere to find.

The touch you had more than lovingly returned

 ..is nothing but an ice-cold treatment.

The smile you had shown me

 ..is now complete sarcasm.

The love you have so confidently expressed whilst will not change

 ..is now a dire insult to my womanhood and sanity.

The times you have never filled in the tank,

you never let me do too.

The times we fight, we have never talked it out.

You're far away now

 ..and I'm becoming for what it causes.

Time flies...

 I too would be so far away from your sight.
