Forfeited Love

by Sourav   Nov 10, 2008


Remembering those days when we were together
Playing in amusement, dancing, longing for each other
Time was vividly true for the petals of love to gather
But in laxity, we lost in the crowd for once & forever.

I never really cared for love's sincerity
Enveloped entirely in youthful insanity
Restless mind couldn't see things in clarity
Love came & gone leaving me with my vanity.

Sun was promising; meadows were green
Days was on efflorescence, nothing seemed lean
In so many things of desire, love was just another thing
I chased after the mirage as love died with broken wings.

Now, the sun is dying, evening is already faded
I've come out of my groove, completely jaded
I'm feeling for the love that once I degraded
Only to find the footprints of lost love, still strongly embedded.

    The last stanza was my favorite one.
    I love the whole concept of being jaded because of knowing it all, done it all.
    Very strong poem, bravo!

    Take care,

    5/5 Ingrid

    Love has a way of leaving marks regardless of wether we are "ready" or not. Your poem is a time tested and fact filled adventure into the feelings most of us have experienced at one time or another. Great write.

    This is so true..young love that loves for the sake of love without fully knowning its truth. LIke they say love is blind..nicely done.
    Take care.
