Echoes of Love

By Biplob Kabiraz

You desire the one who doesn't paint your dreams in their eyes,Their heart doesn't echo the melody of your name.Yet, you wait in solitude,Hoping for a glimpse of their gaze, hidden in the dark, secretly.

You turn away from the one who loves you,You never wish to hear their silent cry.They light a lamp of longing in the corner of their heart,Yet your mind weaves itself into a different melody of pain.

Is love just a crown of thorns?A heart seeks pain in another's heart.What you wish to have, is a distant speck in the unknown,And what's yours, remains untouchable, distant from its meaning.
