Poetry
On a lonely rock
She sat there on a lonely rock
Face buried deep in her palms
She smiled at every passer-by
As they offered her some alms But she was not on the lonely rock
For want of petty morsels
She sat there out of solitude
Escaping the gawking masses In her lonesome days she looked
At the deep blue skies
The dark and poignant nights she spent
With tears in her forlorn eyes One morning as she lifted her head
Someone knelt beside her
Surprised at the new companionship
She said, "Can I help u Sir!" As he raised his dark brow
She gazed into his eyes
"Just resting a while, my lady."
He said, still locking eyes They talked till the morrow
Laughing and smiling all the way
Sharing their pains and sorrow
Till the end of day She smiled and thought about him
In the moments he was away
The deep blue skies were full of life
And nights she used to pray…. Whenever he came passed that lonely rock
Her tearful eyes were full of elation
She waited just for a sight of him
Her hopeful heart in jubilation Her heart believed in everything he said
But her mind didn't let her stray
She locked her mind dead
But she would realize one day It was sooner than later
When the happy bubble burst
She let her mind out of its box
She wished she had listened to it first She woke up from her slumber
And kept her dreams away
She stopped dancing on her lonely rock
It was where she had to stay… And then one day he came again
He was not alone
Accompanied by his love he was
Not a lonely stone She smiled a never-ending smile
And concealed her welling eyes
She prayed her heart to stay a while
Until they passed her by Never believe the passers-by
Coz they will never stay
Laugh a while and make u cry
And they'll be on their way But she was not on the lonely rock For want of petty
morsels
She sat there out of solitude
Escaping the gawking masses In her lonesome days she looked
At the deep blue skies
The dark and poignant nights she spent
With tears in her forlorn eyes.
