dear, somethings in love are done without say,
in silence you may wish to walk away.

so please close the door gently as you leave,
so I may not notice till break of day.

hard to say goodbye when so much in love,
in sleep I dreamt you have chosen to stay!

for wounded hearts, dreams are a sure rescue,
bury in silence what you have to say.

next day when I learn you shall not return,
my eyes will wait for you, my heart will pray.

hope - when in love is such a helpless child,
it will seek your return along life’s way.

dear, wake me not to say final adieu,
may never sleep again till my last day.

such things love, are often done in silence,
so you may in silence just walk away.

What a heart-rending Ghazal, Dear Poet! I was travelling for a while...came back, and reading some of the beautiful poems I had missed. The ending line captivates my mind. Best wishes ~

That is good, Promoting your book is good idea. I recommended your book to one of the guys in India who is a retired prof. He was talking about Tagore.

I spent almost two months, January to March, in Kolkata, India. Not an exciting travel like you, but I find lot of peace staying in RK Mission guest house. I did a Book-talk presentation in one of their auditoriums - that was the highlight of my travel. Now back to Canada - escaped Canadian winter, almost Spring here.
