My Emotions

An evocative, inward-looking poem, by Sarala, exclusively for Different Truths.

My emotions run wild at times 
Like a tsunami and at times like a volcano in eruption 
My love for him makes my emotions 
Run wild and weary at times
I give my heart for someone 
It’s a lifetime gift 
Like spring flowers and crimson red leaves in the autumn
Like rainy nights 
Cosy and warm always 
Under the soft quilt 
Never a spot nor a spec 
In my love 
I take things as easily as can be 
When things go wrong 
I blame no one but me
As my approach was wrong, I feel 
And in dark clouds I burrow myself 
Till I repent for making the wrong move 
At the right time 
My eyes say it all 
My strength and my weakness 
My heart feels light 
When I write a song of my love 
But don’t take me for granted 
As I fume at times 
Green leaves never remain green always 
Just like us humans
I leave yesterday as a gone past story 
And move forward with a smile 
And heartful of love 
Brimming with desire to live and love! 
I flow like a river so smooth 
Not looking back and weeping!
