i love her.
1.
she found me, when torrents raged, splinters gnawed,
she found me, when my wings were shattered, my heart tattered,
she found me, when i was desolate, aimlessly crawling,
she found me, in the depths of despair, deep in the maelstrom, aching for air,
she found me, trapped in the quagmire, sinking in the clutches of the foggy bog,
she found me.
2.
she reached down, her hand extended, a gesture that infused hope in me,
she pulled me out of the den of emptiness, the abyss of loneliness,
she helped me stand, on my torn legs, her shoulders bearing my weight,
she fed me, nourishing my soul, as i imbibed her warmth,
she led me into pastures green and alive, awash with colour,
she held me, in the cocoon of her embrace, her hair a waterfall drenching my face.
3.
i was not worthy, of her delicate touch,
i was not worthy, lying in a discarded alleyway,
i was not worthy, of her healing embrace,
i was not worthy, of her tender love,
i was not worthy then, i am not worthy now,
i had nothing, and still have nothing to give,
still, she loved me, and loves me still.
and i love her still …
i shall love her forevermore.
Wonder who was she in your life? does she have a name or she is work of your fiction?

yes i can relate, the love that once seemed so all-consuming and true and would last ‘forever’ simply vanishes, leaving memories that are stubborn to forget. warmest wishes to you, Shalini … and take it easy and take care.
