Lonely Song Poem by Diwakar Bhatt

Love is a lonely song to be sung with tearful eyes,
Severed heart bleeds in agony on parting with sighs.

Cast in the doldrums one feels when left languishing,
Clouds no more bring cheer, raindrops turn stinging.

Bizarre burdensome boring becomes the life to pass,
Melodies of cuckoo can't lift up the spirit from morass.

World seems a barren heath trampled upon by hostility,
Firmament too gaze glaringly, respite is not a possibility.

Thirst and hunger can no longer be torturous as before,
Physical being is overtaken by grief deep down to core.

Pain becomes a companion near and dear in times such,
The mystery of love is deciphered with a realistic touch.

Be advised to refrain from love not an occupation of logic,
Let it remain poetic imagination to decorate verses heroic.
