Your Love

The darkness of the night,
Engulfs me whole,
Deepens my fears,
Steals my soul.

But your light guides me home,
Back to you, back to life.

The silence of the night,
With a deafening roar,
Breaks my will,
Like never before.

But you voice guides me home,
Back to you, back to life.

The emptiness of the night,
Haunts me through and through,
Takes me back to the past,
When I wasn't with you.

But now your love guides me home
Back to you, back to life.

The sun has risen now,
The curtains are no more drawn,
'Cause through my sleepy eyes,
I can see you yawn !

Thank you !

This is actually very "touching the heart" stuff...

But now your love guides me home.

I found this poem very cute, for some reason. I like the way you darkened some particular stanzas where you are talking about your love. The repetition certainly added to the beauty. Great job :D

[Shreyas Tripathy]

Thanks Rhea ... It's feels good to be writing again :)

[Aehr]

:D If you don't mind me asking, why did you stop?

[Shreyas Tripathy]

Oh! Well ... I got really busy with college stuff and all ... That kinda forced me to stop

[Aehr]

I know the feeling. School work stops me here sometimes too. I don't think that I'll write all that much in March. I have my finals. So I'm making the most of my time now! :D
I'm glad you're back, though. :)

[Shreyas Tripathy]

Thanks ! Good luck for your papers

[Aehr]

oh thank you so much! I need that, I think :D
