Nov 4
A shattered being is all I want from destiny,
Oh my beloved one, would you put me together?
My smithereens perk up by your only glance,
Oh my beloved, would you not let the moon steal your sight?
The raven black of your eyes sink my ship in,
Oh my beloved, would you let this dream shatter me more?
Again my being is lost in the wind's beat,
Oh my beloved, would you let loose the words in a talk?
It is the night, heavy with whispers and sighs,
Oh my beloved, would you confront my love and then abolish it?
In the stillness, where shadows dance like memories,
Oh my beloved, would you weave our hearts into a single thread?
Let the stars witness this fragile truth,
Oh my beloved, would you hold my fragments until dawn breaks?
Oh my beloved one, would you put me together?
My smithereens perk up by your only glance,
Oh my beloved, would you not let the moon steal your sight?
The raven black of your eyes sink my ship in,
Oh my beloved, would you let this dream shatter me more?
Again my being is lost in the wind's beat,
Oh my beloved, would you let loose the words in a talk?
It is the night, heavy with whispers and sighs,
Oh my beloved, would you confront my love and then abolish it?
In the stillness, where shadows dance like memories,
Oh my beloved, would you weave our hearts into a single thread?
Let the stars witness this fragile truth,
Oh my beloved, would you hold my fragments until dawn breaks?
The above poem is not entirely mine but its a serenade that my grandpa used to sing for my grandma in their youth. He passed away recently so I decided to pen it down in my imperfect manner.
