“Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.” Confucius

                                               Confluence

                                Confluence of two loving hearts,
                                  Confluence of two loving souls
                                   In a day or two don`t depart,
                                   But unite as one single whole.

                                    They flow as one single river
                                  Along the bed of harsh pebbles,
                                  And in wintry cold don`t shiver
                                 Or shake at the sign of struggles.

                                        The consorted river of love
                                      Does last for ever and ever
                                    As the clean azure sky above,
                              As the sun`s and the stars` splendour.

                                         Oblivious of all injuries 
                              Sustained when crashing against rocks,
                                      The river`s flow marks history
                                   On the swings of eternal clocks;

                                It spreads kindness around its banks 
                                     As it meanders down its bed,
                                 Nourishing what lies on its flanks,
                                Plants and fields with its water fed.

                               Confluence of two souls and hearts
                                 Instills peace after a day`s strife,
                                  Is a rare gem that stands apart
                                   And confers rays of light in life.

                               The light from the confluence shines
                                  As bright as flame that is divine,
                                Transcends the steel shackles of age
                                       To attain a perennial stage.

                                     The delicious vibes of its song
                                    Just grow ever and ever strong
                                      In the winter of dark despair
                                    As in the spring of joy and care.

                                  The sweetish scent of its perfume
                                     Fills the air like roses in bloom,
                                       Prevails on the law of reason
                                      And triumphs over all seasons.

                                    Confluence of two loving hearts,
                                     Confluence of two loving souls
                                At their days` end merge as a whole,
                                  And reach heaven never to part,

                                     As rivers at end of their flow
                                   Blend with the vast, blue ocean,
                                     So two loving souls in heaven
                                    Fuse to shine as a single show.
