If one day
I fly away
taking with me your heart….
Will you let reason drive
and take you
wherever she will…
Will your insides bleed
making you feel hollow
wishing you could follow…
Will you weep
or unconcerned sleep
and wake up, the dream forgotten…
Will you walk the shores of your mind
as one possessed
searching for the golden beach of Keela-Wee…
Will you gaze at the millions of stars
and wonder
which twinkling one holds your heart close…

What a beautiful touching poem! I love the way it ends, with the yearning, looking upwards, as humans have always done, when missing someone, and asking the stars…
Lovely read to start my journey here again! Thanks Shail!
@Usha,
Thank you Usha 🙂 I always enjoy reading your comment 🙂
Hi Shail,
I think this is the first time I am addressing a person with the same name and I thought that my name was unique!!
A lovely poem. You do write some nice stuff Shail!
Keep it going.
@Shail Raghuvanshi,

@Phoenixritu,
Thanks Ritu 🙂
Very beautifully written, Shail. 🙂
The emotions we go thru, when the loved one is lost…are just too many…and u’ve portrayed them all very realistically, like this one… “Will you walk the shores of your mind
as one possessed” !!!
@UmaS,
Yes, we do wonder how our loved one will feel when we are gone. 🙂
Very touching poem! Each time I come here, I’m amazed at your way with words all the more, Shail 🙂 Loved it, esp the last lines..beautiful!
