Petrichor of Love

Tears Glistening Over Years

Beneath the Astral sky, do we stand

Astrayed in the reveries with hand-in-hand,

I wonder whether the stars reminisce our vows,

Or have they been erased like a sand house?

 

As tears pass by, did we opt for the wrong road

For dreams and desires that were untold?

Inside the room of thoughts, did we discover peace

Or was it just a fleeting promise?

 

The stars endured silence, holding secrets old,

With the sand house, taking along the tales untold.

A bitter-sweet grace amidst our laughter’s embrace;

All have now gone, leaving an empty space.

 

Had the sunsets we had once shared

been a story written too late and uncared?

As years pass by, does guilt like mist

Gather around us, questioning what we missed.

 

Those Sunsets nurtured a love too tender to keep

our love unravelled as its threads slowly did seep

Regrets like mist did cast an abstruse veil

Shrouding our hearts in a gloomy tale.

 

Did our tears, like rain, wash away all our pain

Or did they only bedim all that did remain?

Are the hums of her name, whispers of the wind,

A song of woe that will never rescind?

 

Rains were but futile tears, a disgrace

To our remains lying in our memories’ grace.

Your name, a waning echo in a chilling breeze

That still hurts and brings me down on my knees.

 

As tears pass by, are the stars a part of our grief,

In the Astral sky, what is beyond belief?

In the silence of the dark, do our hearts still sigh,

Remembering the moments that now slowly die?

 

The stars bear no guilt as they hover above

Showing their indifference as they blatantly rebuff

In the silence of the skies, our hearts softly cry

For the moments passed, as time passes by.

 

As years pass by, does hope wane from our view,

Leaving behind memories, once clear and True?

In the silence of time, do we ever ask why,

Our love did slip away, as tears and years did fly.

 

And as hope gradually wanes in the moonlight

Memories do remain yet fade away from sight.

In silence, do we contemplate the reasons untold

How our love slipped away, as our story did unfold.
