Lost love: A poem by Lalita Vaitheeswaran

When the frosty winter months
And the cold winds
Ruffle my hair
They whisper
You are there…

When the raindrops change from a drizzle to a downpour
Drenching my body
And my soul
The rainwater mixes with my tears
And whisper to me
That you are here…

When the spring blossoms and blooms
The petals spread fragrance in the air
The soft breeze gives my saree a tug
I feel it’s your tight hug…

In the empty rooms of the space called home
I feel your presence, your breath, and smile
Oh, where are you? why did you go?
Why don’t you leave my thoughts even for a while?

I yearn for you,  your love made me complete
I look for you here there and yonder…
Love is never lost..it only grows
Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
