The Promise

In a forgotten world
In a forgotten place,
The evening shrouds my existence
As I stand alone, visualizing your face.

The blazing sun turns deep orange
Healing a broken heart,
Butterflies dance over smiling flowers
Each one playing its part.

Ripples disturb the tranquil sea
It mirrors my amused and distorted face,
Leaves crunch beneath my feet
Time since long had lost its pace.

Life, is it an illusion?
I ask myself over and over again
Will my eyes hold back the tears?
Will my heart soak up the pain?

As darkness descends on Earth,
It unveils the twinkling stars,
The moon peeps from behind the clouds
And your smile brightens up those passing hours.

I wait yet another day
My eyes search for you in vain,
The sun rises behind the sea
Endless hours to overcome again.

I walk into the mesmerizing sea
My incessant wait comes to an end,
Water closes quickly around my face
Embracing me as a close friend.

You sleep curled up like a child
I smile from the heavens above,
Vowing to always be by your side
I fulfill my promise made in love!!

  4. I’m glad u think that Saurabh..what we appear to be is really what we want others to believe isn’t it???

  5. You would not agree with me but, No, I don’t exactly beleive in this. I would say “What we appear to be or what we are is not what we want others to beleive, It should be What we appear to be or what we are is what we want to see ourselves and not others.”
    we cant keep on changing ourselves for others…

    why i wrote in my earlier comment “this is so un-like u” is because what u appear to be in the real life is not what u write. (is certainly not what you want other’s to believe)
