Roséro

Roséro

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw your face,

I smiled to myself...

Even if I was going through hell.

In those days of rigor

When all was grey and blue,

A soul that lodged within was you

Who solaced me for a day green and new.

Those very days that I spent

In the deep, dark well were long but few.

In the course, I realised,

If I spend the rest of my life

In a cage trapped, my wings trimmed,

May never respire the air anew;

I could still survive-

Merrily with the memories of you.

Days we spent were countable and less

Though, marked my heart with a scar,

No flood could ever remove.

I cherished every moment we spent,

Your thoughts curved the blue purse

That once used to be red.

Whenever your memories I read,

For this lifeless soul, you were the breath.

Less than a fortnight that we not met

Oh, we traversed a mile step,

"Now two souls within a body were built."

A new "Roséro" burgeoned

From the mystic pollen

With love as its scent.
