ONCE

        Shalini Lal T.L

I wished to make him mine

I flapped my wings to reach him

I left my dreams apart

I loved him deep and hard…

For once and for all

I touched his heart with mine

I felt like he is mine

Alas! It was all a dream...

I raised myself and saw

That I was all alone

I lost him, who once was mine

I started to think a lot…

It was mystery

And I have gone insane

I lost my loved ones,

Eluded just for him…

Deep, Deep and Deep

The ‘I’ within me said

The 'He' is a fantasy

Who leaves you in a flash …

I turned to chase my dreams

It was arduous

But I tried hard and hard

And… Inhaled the scent of triumph.
