Little Hesitance, Little Sorrow Poem by Piyush Dey

Little Hesitance, Little Sorrow

Rating: 4.5


One last time she had asked me
when i had to depart,
'Will you come back again, will you? '
And i hesitated, i must say,
I had waited too long for her
eyes to well up with tears,
And at last, I said, 'I will....
my love', fear wrote on my voice,
'I will, young lady, i will'.
She didn't answer but ran away,
damp pearls adorned fer face, she
went into the far dark woods, into
the deepest canopies, into the
green old mountains,
Ah! How long i had waited for
her to come back, how long
I had cried that moonless night,
Oh God, Oh Father! why didn't you
come then with your caring arms?
why didn't she come back?
'Oh love, Oh lady! I shall come back
when i am gone, I promise you,
my little piece of heart, come back',
I went crying into the woods, but
she had already went into the
younger hills, into the snows,
into the glaciers, into the
deepest seas, I went crying into
the woods, 'Come back, my darling,
my love, my heart', Though-
I knew i had feared if i would
ever come back,
I had feared that she may alone
die, that i might never come back,
And now still, to my sorrow,
'Come back, my love', crying
I move through the cliffs, the
youngest cliffs through her
footsteps, I follow her shadow, but
she is nowhere, I keep walking,
I find her not, oh god! Where has
She gone? Is she so hurt that she
Wouldn't come back? Or-
Is she giving me the punishment
For being so hesitant?
For taking it too long to utter?
Oh God, O Father! tell me, tell me,
Where has she gone? Won't she
Come back? . But-
Only silence. The moonlight on
my face. She has vanished into
the stars.

Though very poignant write up of lost love what the lover intends to get it back with his intense emotion and desire, a beautiful expression... very nice

The lover feels that a part of his soul is missing.....! He is on a relentless search for his missing self...! Though he is disheartened, still he has hope lingering and is ready to go to the end of the world in search of her! A very passionate write! Enjoyed!
