I Wished

In a fine weather 
In your garden ,
I  wept 
When the gentle breeze blew .

As the fragrance rose
From the champaka flower,   
When a wild  pigeon  cooed 
Roosting on a tree branch yonder, 
When egrets  were seen  flying 
Towards the distant blue hill ,
In a fine weather ,
I  wept   
In solitude 
In your garden .

This may be my favorite. Again, such vivid contrast. And it brings out so much emotion.

I'm impressed by your lovely poem, Akham. It appears that not even all the beauty that surrounds you can erase the the longing for what you don't have. Regards // paul
