Hopeful Heart


Source: Google Images
Yet again I am lonely today;
Holding onto the colourful memories of the past,
I try to find a tiny flicker of hope buried somewhere deep inside.
The waves & shore play a game of touch & go,  and the grey clouds darken the horizon
Tears blur my eyes as I tighten my grip.
Let go’ my heart screams – my mind refuses to hear its cries and continues to be in a self denial.
How soon the wheels of time turn….
It was just yesterday that I was surrounded by the warm rays,
And today this breeze sends chills down my spine.
Hope is all that I am left with now as I close my eyes.
Clutching my hopes tightly I send a silent prayer to Him to feel the warmth once again.

  1. Oh Me, you just struck a deep chord, right inside. These are exactly my emotions, exactly what I want to say to myself, my mind, my heart and maybe her. I don't know. Maybe this heart will always remain hopeful and maybe those memories will forever be buried inside my mind, until I keep going to them everyday, every moment till the wheel of my time bring her back to me, someday. One of your best posts till now, for I can see a faint light of your true-self saying something through these words. Or it's because I am lonely too, holding onto the colourful memories of the past.
    Leo says, keep writing! You never cease to strike a powerful positive chord. And that's what he loves about Me. :D

I am touched after reading your comment. Believe me when I say you are not the only one who is lonely and holding onto the colourful memories of the past.

      Thanks for such lovely, encouraging words Leo :)

    1. This dilemma is something we all go through confusing us more and more... our state of mind is dilly dallying like a pendulum.

      Thank you:)

  10. Oh this is some poem !! you have written with so much emotions. You have penned it down nicely :) But at some point of time we all are lonely isn't it ? But that's just for a while ? Otherwise we always have some or other good people around us :)

    Keep writing poems.You write nicely them. You have strong connection with them. Although I am poor at understanding the depths of poem many a times but I still feel so :)
