Found and lost?



To those who loved and lived together, but lost it somehow!

She was a bright daisy,
Redolent in the open air,
Swaying as the breeze kissed her,
Throwing caution in the air.

There was buzz all day long,
Bees surrounded her,
But her eyes sought the quiet looks,
Of his, who always stood afar.

One fine day, she took upon the task,
dauntless in her style,
She bared all her pent up feelings,
He stood still awhile.

In nature's own jocular way,two hearts,
united, making life a dream,
From almost becoming star crossed lovers,
They conquered all worldly whim.

Many tides later, with much water flown,
The monarchs of heart tied the knot,
But slowly with the eroding time,
The souls started moving apart.

They lived together in one abode,
sharing meals every night,
But the color of daisy started fading,
His heart too,was not as bright.

Many a night,tacit tears,
wet the sleepy pillow,
Two hearts still beating together,
But each missing the other's billow.

Taking each day as it comes,
She holds on her fading hue,
Cherishing the fond memories bygone,
Seeking divine aid, for life anew.

Soma...you,ve written about a very sensitive issue...outcome of a relationship...how easily we tend to lose what we have found by perhaps taking things for granted!!
very well written indeed!
