SEARCHING FOR THE SOUL MATE

 

SEARCHING FOR THE SOUL MATE

She distanced herself from a flower,
Suspicious eyes, horribly life cower,
Rejected flower, fallen, she vanished,
A speechless young man once wished, (1)

Old letter from her dried petals stay,
Smeared with tears, blurred inks lay,
Clueless passion string snatched tell,
Shyness, silence, aloofness, let prevail, (2)

Years of close companionship rolled by,
Love from the core of the heart molds,
Hand in hand, the evenings, mornings,
Point blank retracted event churning, (3)

Unending gossip hour passed, defeat,
Deserted the wooden bench, sorrows,
Relationship dwindled not tomorrow's, (4)

Subtle messages of union far delight,

Submerged in sadness, linked emotion (6)

Burnt letters, roses to ash, what gains,
Cried in her room, repentant hooks,
Windows opened the evening looks, (7)

Got a phone call, intimacy, if advance,
United both hearts never to alienate,
The past searching for the soul mate, (viii)
