Agony

By my words

And by my deeds,

Love dissolved in distance.

I didn't know

What I became,

She knew it all along.

Colours drained

And life went grey,

Tormented by her absence.

Memories hurt

Thoughts wandered,

Only wishful thinking remained.

Now I stand, 

And more I walk

Searching her all the while.

The shroud is real

My vision is blurred,

Through the sorrow I wade.

Guardian Angel - Sonnet

(My first attempt at writing a Sonnet. For she, who woke me up from my slumber n made me take up poems)



On a distance I saw lily whites,
Nearer I found you in bright.
Guided me away from blight,
Like a lamb I followed the light.

In sadness I will dissolve,
Only to be precipitated by your Love.
Once I had a God,
Now I have her smile.

Extricate me from the pain of longing,
Across the prostration I swam,
To reach the far away horizon.

The wistfulness for your care
Carrying me through the apoplexy,
There I saw the shore of comfort in you.
