Valentina Laitonjam says lost and found again…

Attempted Love

Silence of past, whispers of present
A numb agony of eternity
Smiles and ripples of pain
Lost and found again
Wearing mask of a saint
Redemption is for you!!

Broken hearts, healed wounds
An ailing ecstasy
Gazing through yesterday
Picking broken pieces
Faint smile, open palm
Forgiveness is all mine!!

Fragrance and passion lingers
Time and pain passes
Cold waves of remorse
Caught in a vanity fair
Giving in and giving up

Lights dying out fast
And yet love still remains!!

-Valentina Laitonjam, Elegantly urs!!, Blog, April 20 2012
