This little poem is what Ranjni would call 'a flash of sudden imagination'. or rather a 'lash' of sudden imagination. The poem struck me when i was talking to a girl on whom i had, what one can call a 'crush' but things didnt work out. That time an eyelash fell on my hand and i wished that the moment would last forever. Well, it didnt. But then, it gave me this poem. Unlike my other poems, this is a little depressing due to the inherent sad tone.. Enjoy!!
Broken from my eye,
fallen on my palm in a flash
So near, and yet so far
Oh, my beautiful shiny eyelash.
Wishes abound hidden,
within the black cuticle of yours
And yet, thee, i wish to retain
just for the time, that was ours.
You irritated me, poking in my eye,
and often, you brought me tears
but without you, incomplete is my eye
for you were in it all these years.
Now you are gone, and have become a desolate's wish
and as I see you depart, i have but one desire
Come back, my love, to the eye of my heart
Come back, my love, for you, I admire.
Away, away, away you'll fly,
and before long, you'll be gone.
The lash of my eye, the beat of my heart,
why did you leave me alone?
