Will The Door Be Opened Once More?

She sits by the window motionless Looking at the sky getting darker Inside her a sea swells, tides of memories Beat her heart, the only keepsake she has Like a thick shelled oyster, tightly spliced He sealed his heart to her barring entry She wonders what currents flow through his sinews? And what eddies churn and gyrate within? Do the thoughts of their love linger there? Does her image, to his memory ever return? Does he recall how they stood silent beneath the stars? How they then built an epoch in a glance! Once life moved with lilting measure From goblets, they quaffed the bubbling liquid Everyday a new song was thrummed upon life's harp What passion, what youth, what thrill they shared then They so loved as no one had ever loved Like a phantom she followed him behind To him alone her heart, as offering she gave Never suspected any force to tear them apart But how Fate waited swift to smite And how they had to part in anguish Toppling down the sand castles they built Leaving a heap of debris behind Will he once more open his heart? Will she again find entry and nest within? Will she be able to douse her smouldering pain? In her dark hours, she sees a star twinkling far!
