I am once again very happy to feature some poetry from Indian blogger, Shaily Agrawal.
Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves adorn you.
Sleep deep, my love.
Sleep without regrets to fill every
Waking moment lying on the bed.
Sleep without nightmares to haunt
On cold, long, lonely nights.
Sleep without waking on a pillow
Wet with tears shed for lost love.
Sleep so memories can’t reach you
Deep under the ground.
I will see you there someday too.
I love you. I still do.
This is her short personal bio.
