IDYLLIC WALKS!
A poem composed by Monalisa Parida
Ask
The Moon and the stars
For all the night
I spent
Telling them
All my secrets,
My desires,
My purpose,
My truth.
But mostly
About the love
I have for you.
Some lost,
Some gained,
Some left,
Both positive and negative ways.
Some remembered,
Some forgotten,
Some built walls
And some surrendered
As for me
I found you.
I wanted you
Within my infinite dreams.
In the supine splendor
Of everyday things
Idyllic walks after petrichor rains
Fingerprints on souls
Never left the same.
Smear on hearts
That will never be the same.
I will wait for you silently
Moments in between
A blackened chasm
And an abyss of nothingness.
Until
You are not mine.
