Other side of the horizon: A poem by Amrita Lahiri Bhattacharya

The scorching rays shattered my dreams,
Of your hands around me in a sweet embrace,
Will fulfill my wishes on the other side of the horizon.

The cascading roses created a scintillating aura,
Bestowing showers of seraphic opulence,
Alas! The scorching rays shattered my dreams.

Only our heartbeats will pierce the silence of the night,
While our breaths hastened to create a rhythm divine,
Will fulfill my wishes on the other side of the horizon.

The cozy night dances in the canvas of the skies,
With stars as the silvery lanterns glowing in effervescence,
Alas! The scorching rays shattered my dreams!

The dawn brings the dewdrops of passion,
The morning kiss on the forehead whispers new beginnings,
Will fulfill my wishes on the other side of the horizon.

The sun-kissed face bears the vagaries of life,
The kohl eyes were replete with your insurgent thoughts,
Alas! The scorching rays shattered my dreams,
Will fulfill my wishes on the other side of the horizon.
