Hope

Dark clouds obscure the rising sun
Deep inside, his conscience points a gun
Guilt swallows his soul as hope fails him
In a corner he stands as all sparks dim

He cries in silence as his solitude pricks
A moment seems like a year, three or six
Heart knows not of the mind’s crime
Forgive me, he asks before it is time

Against the wave, he swam the sea of remorse
He sang her an apology, cried after each verse
His tongue may scathe but his heart is pure
Her one smile is now his only cure

He still waits at the shore as clouds pass by
Counts on her promise, never to say good bye

- Deepak Karamungikar
