Unsaid Pink Wishes

I still miss
The fragrance of dream
in your kiss
I wanted to express
what pulsated inside the gate
But I thought
the time was to come yet
The wishes remained unsaid

I still miss
the chocolate bliss
in your bird’s nest
I did contemplate
how to reach the higher branches
Every time I tried
Clouds would gather
from various skies
I hesitated
Sophisticated
using simile and metaphor
The desire remained unsaid
as before

I could see
How sometimes
you would set free
your handsome geese
towards my waters
For reciprocity
Still
From thoughts 
that live in wood and hills
Some delicate tendrils
obstructed 
that I wanted to say
Keeping it unsaid

Then one day
No smoke no fog no cloud
Sky in loud blue
I was resolved to be with you
and say
Those words
that waited in the wings of butterfly
that generated dreams in my eyes
that kindled orange flames inside
that invited hundred stimuli
But you had left
So those dreams remained unsaid
In the cleft
of dialectics of thought
Or the mind caught
in a whirlpool
to befool 
my conscious mind

Tempest in my head
Since then almost every day
I regret
Why I left it unsaid

When the flower was torn
the sentence could not be completed
the evenings were robbed of their breeze
dreams made their decision to keep asleep
I couldn't help thinking of what was left unsaid

I have still been thinking
Of the bunch of tube rose I brought back
not given.
Replies
not  listened
Reason
confined to dark prison

With the dissolving years
Many a grief
Many a bitter leaf
Many a thorn
have got erased
But the words unsaid
keeps me wearing out
Night and day
In light or shade
They keep coming back
Inside my head
Those words unsaid
Unshareable
Unbearable
Making me vulnerable
To my biggest regret
For the words unsaid

I truly enjoyed this sad yet beautiful poem, Probir. Procrastination, due to various reasons, results in a heartbreaking loss which time finds hard to heal. Congratulations on your fine win. Regards // paul

Thank you so much ... Not exactly ... Coz the theme is very familiar ... I did go into a sort of meditation for say half an hour for collecting the images ... Much more hard was SO's Flamenco ...

A superb linguistic cloth of poetic tapestry, Probir. This beautiful poem moves w/swan grace thru the pond of tranquility. Just a beautifully written poem of such emotional depth and sensitive reflection. Great poetry as always from your silver pen and golden mind. Love and more love always.
