To Window
I loved keeping my windows shut, My room steeped in murk, Day in and day out, I savoured the frost, The stillness that did lurk. You sliced in through a broken pane, Your radiance gleamed so bright, To hold forth this gloom anymore, Went utterly against my might. Each day I pined for the whole of you, The sliver never satiating my soul, So one fine day I broke open the glass, Lest this desire takes its toll! Now the sun-kissed zephyr strokes my hair, As birds' jubilant song fills the earth, I keep gazing at the sky unfettered, blue, But never and never again could I ever find you.
