The Eclipse

A Poem by Angad Waraich

His and her story I -The eclipse

HIM & HER

THE ECLIPSE

And this how their story goes...

“Sitting in a room,

Staring at black and white,

He fell in love at first sight.”

“She hears him call,

And returned the smile,

Didnt know why it felt so right.”

“He smiled as he talked,

How could he not?

Falling deeper in love with ever second that passed.”

“She spends time with hin now, and cant sleeep at night,

How could she?

For she rediscovered her smile long lost.”

“He called her every night

And listened to her breathe

Till the light broke, the dark sky.”

“She waits by the phone all day,

And wishes the night would never end,

Because the heavy walls were falling of her chest.”

“Soon he hears the whispers,

Her whispers of pain,

Locked deep within, away fron the world.”

“She heard him say ‘I’ll never leave,alright.’,

Then she broke down in his arms crying,

And saw her endless tears run dry, by his lullabys”

“He held her close,

Determined to never let go,

As he felt complete for the very first time”

“She looked deep into his eyes,

And felt happy to be naked for the very first time,
Oblivious to the world outside.”

“He kissed her goodnight,

As thunder stuck,

And she stiffened by his side”

“Her broken heart finaly one,

She was in love, LOVE!

She woke with a start, the horror back in her eyes”

“He saw her fear, and held his breath,

As his heart skipped a beat,

Before he began his final lullaby...”

“She wanted to run into his light,

And so she tried to fight,

But slowly her past crept up and took over her mind”

“He fought on.

Against the raging tide,

Shegave up and whispered

‘Stop before we loose sense or wrong and right...’”

Their Eyes met again one last time

Wet with pain

The dream was over they realized

“You are my moon...”

“And you my sun...”

They then kissed,one last time

Frozen forever in time

Till the next eclipse....

A very interesting format for a short love story. I like the comparison with the sun and the moon. Exams are over so let the flow of ink begin. Excellent, sir.....:).....
