An enigmatic love poem, by Rajashree, exclusively for Different Truths.

Now ...
Everything around appears motionless,
I stand as a statue in impenetrable darkness,
Who knows how long?
I would burn myself.
 
Standing on the altar of agony
I stare into empty sky,
With a broken heart.
 
I dream of you ...
With eagerness in your eyes
you are coming back ...
 
I stand waiting on this quiet shore, now.
My heart desperately searches for you,
And soul desires your sweet embrace
My anxiety for your passionate touch
Of course, know no bounds ...
