The Last
Last hours fly away, last words linger
Last time you looked into my eyes
My last thoughts were a blunder
All I wanted to hear was ‘See You Soon’
But you only said ‘Goodbye’
Your last footfalls still echo in my ears
Our last laughter, sweet ardent kisses
Last moment of a rapturous embrace
Etched in the canvas of my heart
They last as deathless memoirs. . . .
Yet last evenings together ended
In sudden, wild storms
Trampling my secret wish:
“If only we lasted. . . .”
Adoring fingers lastly stroking my face
When you breathed last in my hair
Our worlds diffusing into a fuzzy backdrop
Four artlessly entwined arms
Your swift, soft whispers in my eager ear
Where you finally halted to glance back
At my forlorn beckoning to say
Your unsaid farewell . . .
And climbing backward to kiss me awake
Yet one breathless twilight witnessed
Us, hiding our gory daggers
And audaciously parting ways
Guilty of a love, tragically murdered
Like your last breath on my neck
Lingered not. . . .
Last step on the spiraling stairway
Where you finally halted to glance back
At my forlorn beckoning to say
Your unsaid farewell . . .
And climbing backward to kiss me awake
Yet one breathless twilight witnessed
Us, hiding our gory daggers
And audaciously parting ways
Guilty of a love, tragically murdered
Last hours flew by, but last words
Like your last breath on my neck
Lingered not. . . .

ReplyDeleteThis poem marked my soul... wonderfully written...!!! the stanza with the spiraling stairway is great.... the image is so vivid in my head... I suffered for this break relation more than i suffered for mine...
ReplyDelete'heart touching' adjective is appropriate for this
ReplyDeletePut some pressure on your heart to remove that cruel arrow,
ReplyDeletefor if the arrow comes out, so will your heart...and your life...
This is very emotional. It touches your heart. ~Asif
