Amore Mio

I am sitting in my Dorchester lair,     
And behind the door I do feel your mien,  
When my poetic muse is in the air,    
You look real as life to me, “Amore Mio”.   

When I am surfing on the internet,
You are there in my click I envisage,
 I initiate to scribe a sonnet,
And lo! I see you embossed on the page.    

Sighing, wry face, the lips as a dried leaf,     
Your greenish deep eyes upraised fully,
Neither death kills me, nor does lonely life,       
But your silence eats my soul and body.         

Numb as a disease, I die of a thought,
My love, don’t you sense the same as I aught?
