☆ Eternal Longings (The Bliss of English Shayari) # 1 ☆

(Some couplets)

☆☆☆☆

☆ Lifelong Confinement… ☆

Just a bit of confinement

Made you feel so suffocated

But caging the birds lifelong

You always relished so much…!

☆☆☆☆

☆ Unpredictable Time ☆ 

Always felt, it would take a

long time to change the life…

Never knew that the changed time

would change the life in a jiffy..!

☆☆☆☆

☆ Wait for a while… ☆ 

 Circumstances have decreed that

it’s not possible to meet again…

But the everlasting faith keeps

insisting to wait for a bit longer..!

☆☆☆☆

☆ Rightful Claim ☆

 Now, even the aloofness has

also started staking its claim…

To fall in love, proclaiming:

 “At least, I am not unfaithful..!”
