Love

Here’s a poignant love poem, by Madhumita, for Different Truths.

The air is thick with the grey damp fog, wet and cold, as the frost gradually froze, 

Yet I still see through the smoggy blanket and the frozen icicles suspended in the air,

Running around like a whirlwind in this world of emotional tempests,

With the will to just live in your eyes, I surge ahead,

Guided by the heartbeats through the delicate maze of nerves and veins,

I drift along, my honest love keeping me safe through all lies.

Your soul on the cloud alights 

To hold me and caress but is restrained by the cold whiteness spread around, 

Mine will now take flight to the unknown land,

For, keeping away from you aches my heart,

So sit by me and hold my hand,

Sing to me and let my head rest

On your wide chest,

Look across the grey misty horizon, 

There the sun shines brightly

That’s where our love belongs,

Without laws, unfettered, without restraint,

For you I will wait there, much in love, to be united in love all over again!
