When Love Laments…

by Bharat B. Trivedi

When love laments,

heart turns heavy,

eyes weep, vision blurs,

life dances to a cacophonic tune

waiting for deceiving death to takeover

When love laments,

serene sound of silence

speaks in syllables of soft whispers

in my eager ears.

and my thirsty eyes

soaked with thawed tears

sprinkle showers of

devastated dreams!

When love laments,

your pristine name

tattooed on my heart’s arm

fades to a sobbing stain

of melancholy memories

When love laments,

a bunch of roses

that once flourished in heart’s garden

now turn into sharp thorns,

pricking my solitary soul

and a blood-red poem like this –

gushes out from

my heart’s wound

and I cease to exist.
