My Search for Love

a poem by Rinu M Varghese

Breaking a mirror with
a piercing scream
I have tried searching
but so in vain

Searching endlessly for
my beautiful dream
One of its kind but
filled with pain

Pain of a heart that
couldn’t find love
Pain of a soul that
couldn’t get touched

For heard a lot I had
on mystical love
And the wrong things
in life I’ve clutched

But now stopped I have
my fruitless strife
Hence resting the light
in my dark eyes

And instead faithfully
I go through life
Making my torn heart
both light and nice
