When I tried to Reach you: English poem by Meerni

When I tried to Reach you: English poem by Meerni

Wind was thumping unto my ears
Creating a mess, excruciating to me
Making me feel, there’s nothing
Yet the presence of nothing
Was slaying me balefully
When I tried to reach you.

Sandstorm was hallucinating my eyes
All I could see was you and you
Making me feel, there is something
Yet that luminous something
Was demeaning my every endeavour
When I tried to reach you.

Fell back, Hearts clattered, tears dropped
Blood soaked lips and bruised hands
Rashed ideas, torn soul and ravenous eyes
Making me feel, everything is nothing
whatever I saw in my unbroken life, was you
When I tried to reach you
