Just A Few Words I Picked Up While Missing You Poem by Akshay Srinivasan

My heart sheds a scarlet tear
Not in sorrow not in fear
Not in agony not in anguish
Not in regret not in despair
Not in dolor not in languish
It does not lament
It does not mourn…

But it whispers to me in a mellow voice
It explains to me…How it felt….

When I saw your glistering eyes
With no sight more to see
When I saw your smile
With no beauty I ever want to see
when I held your harm,
with no thoughts to think
when I held you close
to feel you in my arms
when I kissed you soft
with nothing more to do
when I whispered to your ears
the words I wished to say
when I let my crown fall on your shoulders
with a breeze winnowing through your hair
when I stood next to you complete
with you standing next to me
when I gave you my soul
knowing it’ll forever be happy
when I understood that
I cannot be without you
When I repeated and said
“I LOVE YOU“


And all I could say was “soon”
A word with of a thousand meanings
For me and my heart
For I know that I will be complete soon
For I understand what my heart tells
for my heart and i know

That I LOVE YOU
