Doubtful!

Is there any doubt in love?

Doubtful!
Bodhisatwa Parekh


Your gaze drifts like the leaves in autumn’s haze,
A silent storm that rages in your heart,
In whispers filled with shadows, thoughts depart,
While smiles may hide the fears that you don’t praise.
Each tender moment crafted, yet unfazed,
I search for truth in places where you start,
But doubt, a curtain drawn, won’t let us part,
Our love, a tapestry of longing's maze.


Can faith be found in echoes of the past?
The way you turn away, a fleeting glance,
In half-lit rooms where silent shadows grow.
Yet still I hope these worries won't outlast,
For in your touch, I sense a deeper chance,
A brighter dawn where certainty may flow.
