When silence sings
A memory rings
A heart springs
And words wear wings
*****
I compose my rhapsody
Passionate and full of melody
With shades of artistic unity
Satiated with peaceful beauty
*****
There’s a poem in your eyes
Raw feelings of Nature ties
And all the wonder it implies
Your verses in my mind I eternize
*****
Your hidden rainbows of the mind
To every single hue I relate and bind
A magic wave of wand, one of a kind
A treasure of human nature is mined
*****
Timeless streams of secrets
Shall retain their mysteries
And the sacred words of poets
Shall go down in histories.

"When silence sings "
"There’s a poem in your eyes "
"Hidden rainbows of the mind "
"Timeless streams of secrets "
From the poorly buried pain,
sad flowers are born,
and from painful longing
can eternize the absent
love...
So, it doesn't terminate
a love left behind,
sans sequels... !
Without half-hissed complaint he trudged on
Through many heat-crimsoned sands of fate, Humming sadly uncheering anthems to ease
Countless tripping odds that beset their mate.
Over slowing mounds snow-capped with chill,
He labored on across freezing heights and hill;
Yet not even beyond the homely horizon ahead
Did he espy the rest sought with a biting dread.
Faithful to the ideals in gallant soldiers' creed,
He strove on with unyielding energies and gut;
Equipped with nothing but the reassuring hope
That morn dawn's when all night's terrors shut.
Creepy trails in eerie woods eternize his walks
Into odd lands where spookiest serenity stalks.
Echoing cries devoid of soothing tears well say
Just what awful ills he saw in life's testing way.
Long trek on lone paths with gloom overcast,
Carries on oblivious of all grisly oddities past.
I will sift the ocean grain by grain and sail the seven sea's,
I will not sleep until I find you next to me;
till I feel you dying in my mouth again and again but until then I will eternize our love and bring you to life in my poetry.
