Tis past midnight and all alone
Where's comradeship and love??
A world that's gone to sleep
Has no room for a lonely soul
The sounds of snores around
But none , to ease your qualms.

Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and you cry all alone
what you lost none other has
What you missed,has none other
Your pains are yours alone
Your gains many to share
Your sorrows you alone to bear


No shoulder to call your own
Laughing faces many all day
But none the kinship of pain
All with you when smiles abound
None when heartaches sear
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and you cry all alone.

Once they laughed with you
Now sleeping still and sound
Their means to life, have found.
But you all lost and stiff
Oh Chardonnay and spice
My comrades for life
My pains you understand

Love is a cheat untrue
There's nothing more uncouth
It's just a word for fools
No grain of truth no proof
None cares no one tears.

None's there's a waiting for you
No supper warm, no hearth
All alone you are, you are
Come home to me myself

You thought love's a great word
But living is only by bread
Love fills not the stomach
What fills does matter, nothing else!!

Don't laugh don't cry just live
She was not not yours, not yours never!
Naught can change the course, survival
Bread and water, no butter no jam.

Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and you cry as you do!!
Tis past midnight and you all alone
That's your life and you live it as you do.

The sun had warmed the city
The home felt warmer too
The wintry night seemed over
A day bright and clear did loom
He pulled up his chair for breakfast
And into his cereal, milk poured
Soft padded steps she walked up
Sat beside him in quietness cool,
The warmth of the day and sunshine
Yet no thaw between the two.
I am leaving said she in hushed breath
True love have I found anew
milk he kept pouring in silence,
No words, no gaze, no sigh

The sun had just warmed the city
But, his day, had just ended too!!

A chariot is thine heart,
O thou rich tressed Selene
In which doth ride the tides,
of ardor, tepid aflame.

Strung to thy chariot by chords
Unseen yet tangible knot,
Whither thy chariot wandereth,
Thither draggeth me, constrained.

The chord unseen, yet bindeth,
Ethereal, tenuous sublime,
A barb so dolorous in seasons!
Other times candescent delight.

What causeth this bond precision?
Nay no reasonable cause,
Entrapped in each a residue
from prior existence unknown?

Why doth the string pull so constant,
Tho' intervenes a thousand miles!
Why cometh thine chariot  instant,
When unseen, my spirits' downcast?

Selene! ageless,deathless, thy Endymion,
Eternal though his sleep,
Our souls entwined forever,
Many an aeon shall we keep!!!

My love, today,as you touch the skies
Look down and sure you'll see
A forlorn banner flying free
Emblazoned with love for thee
The words you read upon it
with the brush of my soul inscribed
Tells of the unrequited yearning
Of my  heart, yours ever to be .

And as your gaze draws a closer
A passion a blazing you'll see
A life consumed in the fire
That burns with desire for thee.
Years, months and hours
of solemn wait tirelessly
For moments of joy a spending
My love, with you endlessly.

Your pictures in my mind I treasure
Each one of them preciously
A story together is woven
Though none of them includes me.
But the embers of hope still burning
Someday will I closely be
Never to bid you goodnight
No mornings where you, I won't see

The air so thick with blackness
A knife could slice it through

The mind shrouded in darkness
Any light would snuffed be too

The soul enchained in sadness
Crushing fetters of grief so blue

The spirit doused in coldness
Icy grip of memories, tis cruel

Dark night of my soul's distress
Sunrise, nay none in view.

My world of obscure somberness
No glimmer, no ray, no dew.

My unending  night, comfortless
my constant companion you

Never you left me friendless
My dark night, ever so true.

Cascades of velvety black hair
tumble and swirl down
to encircle the liveliest face ever
and like rivulets flow down the neck.
Almond eyes with radiance
that sparkle and twinkle all time.
Red lips like a bow waiting
to shape the mirthiest laughter ever,
adorned with pearls in perfect symmetry.
you are a poetry in beauty
and a symphony of grace,
sculpted beyond any imagination

I walked away with you,
the road missing your feet, weeping.

I walked away with you,
and the gate, forlorn open, waiting.

I walked away with you,
and the dewdrops anxious, glistening.

I walked away with you
and the morning birds silent, brooding.

I walked away with you
and the morning mist hanging, silently.

I walked away with you
and the waft,chilly and clinging.

I walked away with you
and the sunbeam's radiance, dimming

I walked back with you
and lo, life comes back, brimming.

The road and the gate,sunshine and gale
Birds and the dew are all anew
Such is their joy on seeing you.
