She lives alone in a rented pigeonhole <br />with a lone window forbidden from sky <br />her skins now a parched scroll <br />in her eyes no more sparks' fly! <br /> <br />In that april shadow as she stood at the stair <br />she looked an absurd ghost from faraway time <br />the world moved on but little did she care <br />rested her beauty cocooned sublime! <br /> <br />From across years looked her ethereal face <br />as if she knew the question haunting me <br />enough to shatter her fragile happiness <br /> <br />why you never did marry! <br /> <br />Perhaps I had my fill in that first moon crush <br />when my caged heart was dreaming to be free <br />pierced her words the evening hush <br /> <br />one love was enough for me.<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-that-april-shadow/
