Lost Love Lament

Debashree Basak posted under PenMuse-51 Poetry on 2023-04-15



A lone tear trickles down my sunken cheek To decode every paean and chant Wisps of fragmented silence now play hide 'n seek Echoes of lyrics of my love sonnet sound bleak Salty bedsheet strands caress with emotions scant A lone tear trickles down my sunken cheek Ruthless lashes of yore crawl 'n creak Ashes mingle as dirges I ardently rant Wisps of fragmented silence now play hide 'n seek Enswathed in solitude, somber feelings peak Drawing lines on yore's sands, briny waters decant A lone tear trickles down my sunken cheek. Perennial promises, darkened dreams oblique Groping in dark, feel your silhouette coruscant Wisps of fragmented silence now play hide 'n seek My benumbed flinders bawl 'n shriek Can you hear my relentless silence defiant? A lone tear trickles down my sunken cheek Wisps of fragmented silence now play hide 'n seek.     Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
