THE LAST OF ALL LOST HOPES

The doors of love

Slammed in disbelief,

Forcing me to retreat

Through a way, dejected.

The lone string of hope

That’s ‘you’ and only ‘you’

Left me out of the blue

Leaving me in a vortex

Where gloom torments me.

Desperately ….

Though I try to explore

Prospects of meeting you;

Destined, I am drawn back

Towards another cursed dawn

To dampen my spirited hopes.

Tomorrow will definitely dawn

But there cannot be another day

Where memoirs can rejoice

The sweetest delight of delights

That’s ‘your treasured association’.

Though in vain ……

Hopes hope against all hopes

The ultimate hope of all

Lurks at the doorstep

Of another fading hope.

But, the last of all lost hopes

Incite me to a THANKS GIVING

For the ever-lasting memories

You etched in my heart of hearts

Sweeter than the ambrosia …

And, alluring than a painful death.
