Moonlit Memories

By Shagun Srivastava

In the night’s lull, I seek your trace

In the surging wind I search for your embrace,

Among the echoes of the night’s soft croon,

I hunt for shambles of you in the moon.

I have a house not a home,

It’s been aloof,

Since you’ve been gone

I live, I laugh

And the stars coddle me

When I have cried enough.

Losing you is a scar

That I wish never heals,

The blood it bleeds is a river of memories

Shy a decade is gone,

But it’ll never be long enough

Yet still, l’ll seek in the moon’s soft glow

For the shambles of you, wherever they may go

For even in absence, your spirit l’II find,

In the luminous depths of my restless mind...
