hmm........
what is Life without you?
a mere solo sojourn
without a companion
to watch and protect me from harm, from ridicule
from my "don't know any better" self...
I try my darndest to hide my crooked smiles
I respond no more then with the politest of nods
my voice still made soft and lady-like
youth saw laughter ring freely from my lips
modesty habitually muffles mirth
with my once ring adorned hand
i cry when I can, for you of course, for you.
i cry for me too, but somethings never change
the sighs, no less redolent with sorrow
just because they echo of relief
the signs left by you
are no less faded
than what you liked to believe.
the pain
no less forgotten
than what I forgave...
what is Life without you....
what was Life with you?
A big question!!!
What word has the tear ever spoken
that you, without ever hearing its name
know its plaintive cry
as if it has once flown from your own eye?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Behold the cries of your foe
how alike they are
to that of a friend or kin
what mind mutes
their pleas
that alone make clear
what no word ever spoken could?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
what mercy
do you seek in the eyes
of the One
when you are blind to
the ones that
were created as you?
Partiality!!!
Hello Maam, as always am grateful and indebted to you for your comments, can I ask what you meant by partiality please, just to understand for myself :)Quote:

re-placed without being replaced.
you might as well have
unraveled my work

fingers whose
meagre skills
you aim to take
and display
as yours.
a beat
keeps
competing
with the
beat that
beats within
releasing
its restless
ruminations

a tune
keeps
seeping
into the
silence of
a sleepless night
soothing its
fretful sleepers

a melody
offers its
magic
as a much
needed
lullaby
Didn't I answer to this post? What happened to it?Quote:
