Yearning – Delhi Poetry Slam

Yearning

By Sumayya M S

The way my eyes lit up,
Among the pool of tears,
By your words.

I miss that. 
I miss the way you express,
Love from you to me,
I thought, 
Like the sun to a lotus flower.

From rise to the set,
Kissing her, patting her,
With your rays.
But time passed.

You lighten up the forest,
Ignoring the worn out lotus.
She is not Earth, I know, 
For you to revolve around her.

Just a plant,
But you were her dream, 
An unfulfilled quench of desire.
