Anatomy Of A Lover's Heart

By Anushka Dey

My heart is a lovelorn teenager 

A flower of eternal spring in it’s prime 

A mellifluous ballad , a dulcet rhyme 

As lively and innocent as a dainty fawn 

As  youthful and lucid as dew drops of dawn 

My heart is a restless nomad 

A wanderer lost in labyrinth of life 

getting drunk on daydreams to feel alive 

A vagabond that cares little about other’s opinion

A terrible fool drowning in swamp of emotions 

My heart is a hopeless romantic 

A believer of fairy-tales with happy ending

A city of utopian fantasy and infinite longing 

Home of fantastic bad ideas and butterflies 

Where my greatest strength and weakness lies 

My heart is an ancient soul 

A monument of unrequited love and silent cries 

Decorated with scars and  haunted by ghost of sighs 

A broken instrument, pumping regrets each breath 

A  temptress singing the song of blissful death
