CLUTCHING AT A STRAW

Spring sighs... expecting so much
As summer waits for her to go
That's how it has been
For most of the years...
I want to spend time with you
As much as I can
But somehow I cannot
As the world creeps in between us.
You said jasmine was blooming
And I felt a heave somewhere
A quiet and silent prayer
Tugging at my heart
As teardrops filled my eyes
And I realised I was nowhere --
Like a drowning man
Clutching at a straw...
