A description about a lover’s longing for her love, the monotonous pain ,the frustration ,the impossible desires, the limbo (the long period of wait)!


My happiness hijacked by pain,

O Lord!

for how long shall I persevere?

Enveloped by infinite darkness,

I hope for a miracle to appear.

I’ve been in the abeyance for so long!

Pain,here,echoes like a rhyme,

O lord!

Till when in this purgatory will I remain?

it’s wiping away my knowledge of time.

I don’t know to which world I belong,

I’m enduring ,with faith,for some rain!

there’s an inky blackness inside this catacomb,

O Lord!

what about my Opaline ,nacreous dream?

The dawn no longer a messenger of hope,

it showed me the shreds of my only rope,

vaporized because of the harsh beam,

thereby breaking me at the seam.

You are my pain,you are the cure,

you are my smile,you are the lure,

you are my sea,you are the shore,

you are the limbo that I endure!

In pursuit of an answer,

I looked into the universe,

O Lord!

when will my quest end?

the Limbo reverberated a song : a forgotten verse!

there’s no repair, there’s nothing left to mend.

Tired of the monochromatic reality,

to cease my state of despair,

my severely aching,parched soul,

sings an austere prayer:

Show some mercy,show some light,

I’ve been holding on to a task that’s beyond my might,

end my ordeal,bring a new dawn,

I’m only human,won’t live for long.

Take me out of this domain,

my only longing ,my salvation from pain,

is to have my life end,by one,with whom,I dreamt to spend.

*************************************************************

When I call the sun appears,

when I wish the wind blows,

when I feel blue the moon is new,

when I dance the cloud roars.

The universe is singing a symphony of triumph,

After my end,I unlocked the door.

P.S.- Pay attention to the rhyme scheme !
