My Poem reviewed by honorable reviewer Raj Kishore Patnaik.
Humbled and Honoured.
SOMEONE THERE !
May there be someone
Whom I may claim my very own
Eyes badly need to sleep but
Tears do float silently in their lap
In dreams I stay awake all night
Some may own my griefs
Someone be my heart and soul
With some unspoken promises
Memories, sweet or sour ,cling hard
Ringing in my ears in lonely nights
Their echoes make me stay alive
Offering me my peace of mind.
