When Winds Were Wild
along came a flood of ebullient emotions,
when an unexpected letter arrived in the mail,
as if from far away in the priceless precious past,
a resonant rhapsody ~ crooned my mellifluous Koel.
The poignant message made my heart throb and tremble,
not many ornamental words adorned the paper,
I could feel the care concealed and hidden pain,
the perpetual soul-searching - layer after layer.
life was a murmuring meandering tide ...
time transpired for both of us,
with jade jubilation and lilac laughter,
experienced bitter days of sadness and sorrows,
as well as bleak, gloomy, loneliness hollow.
A letter brought a flood of ebullient emotions,
a topaz torrent of waterfall gushed
downward embracing mountaintops,
ringing a bell of coral hopes and lavender longings,
telling truth ~ nothing treasured had been lost!
My Darling, you stayed and weathered
with me all the tempestuous nights,
My Love, you clasped my hands
in yours when winds were wild!
