THE BROKEN PIECES OF MY HEART : Rita Chugh

THE BROKEN PIECES OF MY HEART 

Rita Chugh

Let me collect the broken pieces of my heart

Lying here and there with blood pouring out

How was it scourged and tortured by dear ones

With sour bitter experience, it fell in oblivion.

It suffered with thousands and thousands of wounds 

Crying from inside with melancholic moods

The pain inflicted on it was too much to bear

The suffering and agony was intolerable and unfair.

How it was maltreated wounded and abused 

Let me relieve it from the sufferings infused 

Let me listen to its emotional outburst

Relieving it from its pain with devotion and affection.

Comfort it with love, passion and warmth

Let me console it with care, compassion and charm

Let me give its abode once again 

With sweet melody, let hope regain. 

Let it zoom and flair like waves

With heavenly bliss, let it rock and sway

Let its wings fly like the golden days

Hugging one and all with its loving ways.
