Oasis

~ Megha's World

I love you without knowing how, or when,
or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without
complexities or pride
so I love you because I know no other way than this
where I does not exist, nor you
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

–Pablo Neruda

It’s dripping slowly
drop by drop
I’m losing this
elixir of love
bit by bit
 
It’s fleeting
by every passing
moment
disguised
as a vapor
 
I’m holding
a sieved heart
with a million of
holes
losing the effervescence
I once had
 
My throat is parched
my soul is bone dry
I can scrape myself
for eternity
to birth a tear to cry
 
The warm droplets
has frozen in time
my frigid self
is a bare
outline
 
As I’m reduced
to my bony self
and begs
for my puny
existence
 
There is an oasis
forming somewhere
with my love
I have given.
–Megha

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

  5. Like seeds in the ground that may have gone dormant, even, eventually, the love we sow, will blossom. Really love the sentiment and how you create such atmosphere.

      1. Great poetry deserves close reading. I often have to restrain myself from writing essays 🙂 You are kindly welcome!
