Analysis of Broken strings
Shireen Munshi 2005 (Uttar pradesh)
Be holding the first ray of sun
Blossoms and showers of affection everywhere
Sweetness of undying spirit is love
You tore it in pieces, you’d bluff
Light diverged into the black hole
Every oath converged to a pit hole
You left my hand, said you dropped it
The candles were blown so I did lit
Dagger through my heart, hole in the soul
Watching you with those new blue birds
Screams of sabotage
Brushed aside by the duke of my Loveland
Memories in flashes, you and me
Weeping and tears, feeling lot lonely
The energies which combined are now detached
Resulting in collapsing of my quaking corpse
Hoping to sense the last ray of sun
Before the eternal flame of dark consuming
Transcending to the supreme soul
The ultimatum of life and god of love
