Poetry 2014 Longlist, Tanya Sehgal

Dementia

Full of distress & anger....
I saw the ripples tamper...
playfully with the river across time...

Life is an enchanter...
making me get out of my anger....
of lost back time....
I thought why doesn’t my love suffice....

It's been so long...
still i have been so strong....
not complaining a bit...
falling deep into guilt...

With each passing wave...
my heart deeply sways...
asking for your love...
to get rid of the sorrow....

But later i had understand...
that time stays like sand....
i will be yours no matter what...
would love you deeply forever...
till I breath my last...
