Loneliness Poem by Saroj Padhi

!
The Moon moves closer to the sentient stars tonight
to rid itself of a strange loneliness lurking at the core
when these little angels peep deep inside her heart
to flush out the chilling dark beneath smiles at the door;

clouds of envy try to drag her out of the halo around
as she still beams in bliss of colors of recent Holi on cheeks,
thunders resound trying to reignite her phobia of sound
and she moves still closer to the stars brooding in sky's deeps;

the Sun sends messages of love from the other side
in the hands of wind that tries to assuage her rueful heart,
birds of night sing sweetly from topmost sphere of earth
to heal her wounds while in womb of night, before day's start;

loneliness is a strange disease in absence of dear ones' love
when hearts pine for a little echo in feelings' vast treasure trove.
