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!

This is a beautiful poem overflowing with striking emotions and metaphors, Mala. The alliteration is well used, without distracting from the overall theme. ~ Warm regards // paul
