Emmanuel S Aporu May 2023
Her heart beat at the sight of every word,
But her tears melted when she grasped their meaning,
Soothing sounds within her heart she heard,
For in her soul, bells of love were ringing.
Emmanuel S Aporu May 2023
What's become of this life,
Why the endless strife,
At dawn you rise with hope,
At dusk, you just wanna drop.

Why the endless exertion,
What really are we chasing,
For even in our finest discretion,
It's clear the troubles we're facing.

But on with life - what's to do,
Your pains will someday flee from you..
And all those things you forever rue,
Will mutate into a brighter hue.

Our ancestors brought us here,
And blessed us with a marriage as this.
Sweet voices around us I now hear,
To mark the beginning of bliss.

Your mother won't stop smiling.
Your father is chatting with his crew.
Your brother to your sister is whispering,
"I can't believe it's true."

My heart is overflowing with love,
As your face glistens beneath its veil
All I need before me I now have
And all these things to my life will avail.

His pillow absorbs all his tears
His bed is as it were a cushion to his fears
The dormant curtains shut out all the light
And in his heart, the time is night!

The winds propelled her scent to far and distant lands
Her smile was the portrait everyman held in his hands
Her voice like a melody sounded sweet in my ears
And her glance like magic brought an end to my tears!
Emmanuel S Aporu Jan 2023
The strength of her embrace was as a salve to my soul,
And her love, - like reins -  my life would control.
Her glance was the perfect knell to my ear,
And no moment was more blessed as when she was near!
Emmanuel S Aporu Nov 2022
Her smile was the perfect item of his devotion
And it's loss meant the start of his deterioration
He sees not now what he saw then
And his woes are such that no man may pen
