The Lost Love Poem by Raihana Abdul Jabbar

Cutting into the midnight-blue sky,
Lined with a faded red glow,
He came, with radiance of a thousand rays...
Peeping from, among the craggy green hills,
At his lover, whom he'd left,
With shiny beads of pearls on her cheek...
She woke in her full bloom, amidst
The silent water, sensing his touch,
Inspite of the misty air...
The lovelorn lady lotus,
Shivered at the sun's kiss,
Danced with the light breeze...
Jealousy, Time was, in their happiness,
Dragging the Light into the sea...
The lady waits till the next dawn'
Again to be left alone, as darkness creeps in....
