Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination

Sonnet #541

A tear here, a pearl glistens and a shadow falls across my heart
For it bled the night before, the night when we were apart.
I needed you; I wanted you to hold me close in your arms
But life got in the way and distanced our hearts.
Dreary visions haunt my dreams and numb my mind
For the days I have to spend alone, without you by my side.
Starting with a little desire, we soared through the heavens
Too swiftly maybe, for now I’ve tumbled into the abyss.

Yet, I dream again, of rainbows and sunshine and a fine ‘morrow,
But not squander my today with musings or illusions.
Now, I shall move on in life with reminiscences of yesterday
And of those fleeting moments of joy we stole and still cherish.
Against Fate, against Time, we shall embrace as one
For that twine between our spirits can never perish.


with love,
pragathi
