Wait…

Shreya Dutta (Yashika), ,

The yellow rose turns it’s head,
Towards the woman in red
Walking down the aisle with grace,
As it remembers seeing its cherubic face

In the churchyard last Sunday,
Wiping off her eyes where lay
The ancient grief of blood-loss
As she waits for years for her love ’cause

She’s destined to test her patience strong
Even though seven years’ wait is too long
For her husband to return to her from the grave
That doesn’t exist in the war zone depraved…

Shreya Dutta is the Founder & Creative Head of StarWords India. This platform helps young talents to get published internationally. She is also the author of "Dance in the Rain". Years ago, when little girls were jotting down their bucket list, Shreya was lost in her dreamland in which she was immortal. Shreya Dutta had started off writing at an early age because she believed that writing not only helped her to voice her opinion but also led her closer to immortality. With every write-up that gets published, Shreya believes that she gets embedded in the pages of history to inspire the youngsters who dream likewise. Writing is not just her passion; it is her way of taking the road less travelled.
