The Poems I Never Wrote
Unfading years draped you with grace
Like twilight tinged leaf you glowed
I floated around you on wings of dream
I thought I’d write a poem for you.
As we soaked the sheen of emerald meadow
The patina of dainty dawn you mirrored
On your face flushed by the sunburst sky
I thought I’d write a poem for you.
In my garden as the flowers withered
You blossomed with spectrum of lasting spring
My yearning flittered like beguiled butterfly
I thought I’d write a poem for you.
We’re drenched by mesmeric moonshine drizzle
The tinsels of longing rippled through me
Entranced me with enthralling rhythm
I thought I’d write a poem for you.
I sailed through the tempest of life
Couldn’t salvage the wrecked ship
As the ancient mariner didn’t reach the shore
All these poems I never wrote.
