WHEN LOVE LEAVES



             WHEN LOVE LEAVES

A little tired in my soul , a bit empty in my heart,
I'm walking aimlessly, hope I find my track ..

My vision is blurred, mind is walking in rain,
I attempt to sew myself,  that's so hollow with pain!

In a trench of despair, I try to leave my sorrows there,
And to the roof that I blankly stare,
Praying that my heart repairs.

Reminiscences of life come trembling to hug you today,
But you are hid in the vale of memories, in seraphic comfort and warmth I pray.

When love leaves, tell me where does it go?
And will you tell me when you know?
Or does it find a new home?
In  heaven or some other mortal soul?
                                         - Veenu Rajan
