Tears gushed in warm streams <br /> <br />And puddled on the open book, <br /> <br />I felt the evening scurry into the <br /> <br />Dark cave of night. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I tried to grasp a handful of sunlight <br /> <br />And place it upon the puffed out candle <br /> <br />As the sun appeared to self-destruct <br /> <br />In the wake of our widening distance. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Pain melted like icicles, <br /> <br />Waters moved, colours returned <br /> <br />To the wishy-washy groove <br /> <br />Recovering from a harsh winter. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I never felt lonely under the shade <br /> <br />Of your affection, lest your absence <br /> <br />Was announced, and the bridge <br /> <br />Of silence shuddered by your whines. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Believe me the curtains would never <br /> <br />Fall on this play, the song will never die <br /> <br />And I shall never quit the stage lest <br /> <br />The heavens conspire.<br /><br />Seema Aarella<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-warm-poem/
