Waiting

By Keerthana Venkatesh

Contributing Author for Spark Igniting Minds


Long lashes sweeping up;

Closed lids quiver;

Streams of sorrow drop

With a heartfelt fear!


A voice - the eyes hear

And open slowly, red.

Hallucinated again

They gaze, depressed!


No - the heart felt lighter;

Sorrow dropped no more.

Shimmer the dewy lashes

Upon the shining eyes!
