Duplex

Ethics May Wait I then Knew not That the Dry earth Looked for Some dew From you In her Void sky Please go Fill her Window Make her Drum beats Quicker Churn her All ice For the Fond rise Of the Tense cloud To burst In rains On hills And plains She has Cancer Will not Linger More than Two months “You say Like this What of Ethics?” Giving Pleasure To a poor soul Near death What else Can be Greater? _______________________ 8/12/2016 Duplex: 2 Syllables per line Checked with: www.howmanysyllables.com

I agree w/Doug. Powerful and elegant, Probir. Great love story written in short, punctuated meter, kinda like a heartbeat. This poem is so beautiful, it makes impending death seem like a mere distraction. Love is the zenith of existence, I agree w/your pen. Love and many blessings to you, my poetic friend.
