You…
my sweet reverie
were, but a fleeting
dream in which
to pass the time,
to ease my sorrow
to free my mind
In the beginning,
I imagined your
face, your voice,
your knowing touch
Always, I smiled
in the thoughts
of you…
Soon, my soul
renewed in love,
no longer wished
upon the stars above
For dream and reality
seemed never to part
As feelings of joy
embraced the heart
Alas, your truth
came to be, a beautiful
awakening, I must see
And, yet, still I sleep
knowing
true…
I cannot escape-
the wonder of you
So, in my reverie
I will abide, until
the day, you’re
by my side…

Sea, Shore and the Sky | Amrita Singh - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Sea, Shore and the Sky | Amrita Singh

The day breaks into a crimson dusk,
Pastels merging into the bright chirpy hues,
The sea stretches to the horizon Unabashed hopes of a rendezvous with the sky

The shore seeped in love, surrenders to the sea,
The sea unrequiting:unloving,
Ebbs away with life
Sprawling death all over across the shore.

Since centuries, the Shore has begged for love from the Sea
Since centuries, the Sea has loved the sky.

Neither attaining what one wishes to have, nor belonging where the heart lies.
Reflecting the rays of the sun on itself, shore beckons out to the Sea…..

While, entranced in ethereal beauty of the Sky,
Sea strives constantly to endear
Spurned, rejected, the sea returns to the shore in the night,
Her cares are caressed into oblivion by the all giving lover

Yet again, then, she turns rejuvenated to the sky
The shore waits endlessly for the Sea, with silent sighs.

Joyous at dusk, the shore lives on; for those moments
And
Lovelorn Sea lives on for the dawn to meet the Sky.

Most of us evade as the Sky
Some of us are the Sea,

Very Few, like the Shore, stand by.

You left me here
alone
jailed within the walls of my own skin
Every morning searching for
a trail of breadcrumbs
that would lead the blind to the
ocean side

There is no summer solstice for me
Frozen here in the northern hemisphere
I wait with cold hands, cold feet
Every morning expose them to the bitter wind
–that I might catch a ray of you

The ocean tides are strangers
to this part of the planet
The icebergs keep the waves from getting
any foolish notions
Cold limbs of an expectant body
become fixed in the surrounding climate
erasing defining lines
that were once carved by you
