VOID IN THE HEART

The emptiness of this heart allure,
Probes the mind a deception sure,
Resounds reverberates, if it is you,
Spectral colors magnetic with hue, (1)

Fail to cross the boundary of the mind,
Inaccessible, the heart cannot find,
Several attempts, alluring charms,
Invitation tender proposal confirm, (2)

But the disenchanted soul worries,
Never could be seen, life is sorry,
Searched in the hills, forest, lakes,
Sat near the rives without a break, (3)

Spring near a nightingale sings sweet,
Wait patiently, brokenhearted sit,
Certain never-to-be-meet, memories,
Reminiscence, painful, left miseries, (4)

A hurt is alive, still rebellious, and stays.
Searching eyes evade sadly plays,
Display expanding waves in circles,
Throws a stone into a pond, ripples, (5)

Promise firmly, but a line on water,
Vanishes soon, lingering mind, later,
A hope against hope, hopelessness,
Between the horns of a dilemma, sense (6)

A sunrise and setting sun, a red sky,
Rising moon, starry nights, time defy,
A gentle breeze murmurs dry leaves,
Whisper to the ears a heart believes, (7)

Got to know, your arrival, very soon,
Void in the heart melts love moon,
Whirlpool of joy, thrill, erase sorrow,
Emptiness of heart no longer enamors. (viii)
