Broken Heart

A Poem by Amitesh Rout

The early sun brought the warmth
My days were running bright
A new dawn filled my heart
with loads of hope and love
But the summer didn't last long
Clouds of darkness engulfed my sun
The winter approached too soon
The poor tender life was caught helpless
and all that was left behind
Were pieces of a broken heart
Like the falling petals
from a once ravishing rose
my heart bleed with pain of those
dreams of love that once
carried me to heaven
were now abducted midway
for a long journey to hell
I stood all alone
I didn't know where
May be in the Kingdom of Satan
Or absolutely in the middle of nowhere.
The slanderers misguided me
And I had no star to follow anymore
I tried moving towards the gates of doom
carrying the burden; the pieces
Of my bloody broken heart.
The corners suited me now
without all the memoirs of goodness
standing like a withered hollow tree
bearing the cold dark winter
And beneath lay near my feet
Pieces of my Broken Heart.
