I Can Wait – Megha Sood
My piece featured on the Free Verse Revolution based on December theme Hope
I can hold your hands till you bleed
till your soul is absolved
of all the sins and predilections
till your skin is wiped clean
off all the scars
and voice is cleansed
from all the expletives
to get the searing pain
washed off your soul
I can wait
till the blood is wiped off
cleansed and scrubbed off
from every single pore of your wretched skin
we can hope for the love
we can hope for the light
but the battles are never won
it is an unending fight
I can hold you in my thoughts
till the crimson sun
bleeds in the skies
and the horizon is tainted red
with its scars
I can wait for you till the ashen moon
rubs off the scars of its face and
renders itself pure
I can wait till time finds its wriggling tale and
bites it deep.
I can wait…
