My melancholy,disquite muse,was the one Who taught me to empathize with,beats of Waves, moon lit nights, mermaid songs Whale whistles of lovelorn moments, Heartbreaks ending failed love affairs That haunts the hearts like unmitigated thirsts. She walks me through the garden path, Taking my cold shivering hands ....in her warm trembling palm...
I see the young blooms fallen from The lap of the vine, that held them close, Fondled with such affection, showered for a lifetime. I see all of them,trampled over,crumpled in the dust.
The withered flowers on bushes we pass,one by one, They look lackluster in the crushing Harsh sun, my muse who refused to speak all along, Now has teardrops rolling down her eyes. She makes my crusted ice cap collapse, I melt Not being able to look at my heart broken by beloved.
I look around for a bud or a sprout extolling hope A young shoot softly whispers,"Life is here, in wait"
