conundrum

CONUNDRUM

The world is eclipsed, the night Stygian;

Standing alone on the Prime meridian ,

Owls hooted, in the desolate gloom,

Rudderless, walking towards doom !

My love for her, lighted every tread !

Sat alone, draped in Venetian red !

Clasping her hands, on her lap,

She lost my love, sometime back;

Obvious, she felt nothing of my touch;

Oblivious, she couldn’t see me much;

She could hear me, calling her,

Said she lost my love, somewhere!

And we searched in vain the lost love !

Given my heart and all the love I have,

She drifted, out of my clutch,

In darkness again, abandoned as such!!
