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!
