Forbidden Song...

by Karan   Oct 4, 2011


An illegitimated dream of failing desire
Burning obscurely in my deserted heart,
Hope dribbles through the cleft once I mend
Frozen tears and love abandoned.

Forbidden songs of my haunted past
Vibrant as hues on the rim of horizon,
Words so sweet once spoken
Upon the tides, the promises were broken.

Pain surging through my vein
Acclaiming tears in the rain,
Fading trances gasping for hope
Applauding the fall of deserted love.

    Karan, this is beautiful. I love the imagery especially the image of hope dribbling, loved that line.
    This is powerful and 'love' can hurt like hell, can't it?

    All the best, Em

    This rhymed really well, Karan. Haven's seen your poetry in quite a while..

    I feel what you are trying to convey and yes, it's hard when people make promises they don't deliver and you have to go on without hope for a good ending, all by yourself.

    Well done,

    5/5 Ingrid
