Memories Poem by Meena Iyer

Long after the birds are asleep
Long after the moon hides
behind the cloud
Long after the frog sleeps,
beneath the shroud

I wonder if you think of me
Wistful longing,
Waiting for the sense of belonging
I wonder,
Where you will be

As the star twinkle in the sky,
I remember another twinkle,
Of your eyes
As we stared in each others soul,
dazedly in love
Radiant in happiness,
Wonderously aglow.


Those days have long past by
We fell apart,
things went awry,
And here I lay,
on lonesome nights
Searching for answers,
Wide awake
What was it that wasn't tight?

Soon its dawn,
flowers wake to the drowsy lawn
And the clock chimes, with a lustful yawn
Its time to leave the past behind
As today's schedule come to mind

One more night passed away
Giving way to listless day
I wish I could forget those moments,
Lose them down the memory lane
I wish i could hide this pain.
Guilty tears, shed in vain.
