Sleepless nights, Oh’, what heartaches became headaches,
Life went by became shadows of haunting figures and danced,
Along with the flickering flames of a fireplace deep inside burned,
Oh’, time cannot run out, the seeking forgiveness meaningless,

In the eyes of love, the lover, who offers love, unconditionally.
Who understands silence through love, ah’, given unknowingly,
As she traveled through land, air, and water in thoughts carrying,
Baggage she doesn’t want him to know, yet, forgiveness she seeks.

Oh’, those days, those childhood days, when life in every way mocked,
The plight she took in passions though deep inside found compassion,
When eyes of love she saw and when love of him lit a little fire,
That consumed her day and night with love, through love, and fulfillment.

In the aches he felt he screamed, “Oh’, dear, my dearest, power of love,
Of yours I feel and to you, I want to come. For the cloak of this world,
The meaning of flesh and meat on us, Ah’, when dried and drowned,
Our souls will stand united spreading light in the flames you carry.”.

And time shall remember the twin flames we are, meant for each other.

Wild horses in freedom galloped through the great plain lands,
And phantoms of great many souls for opportunities passed them by,
Years wrote stories and stories wrote history near lands he stood,
Where a kettle whistled and a steak upon coals grilled.

The saddening memories of many souls unknown lingered,
Oh’, the deepening emotions with those memories blended,
How far away he will drive through the roads of the great dream,
The success of many, failures of many, the great American dream.

Waves of lives he watched passing by, then he too started his drive,
How far away he will drive through these roads he knew not,
But at every mile passed again and again to shed the memories he tried,
Again and again, he failed a stood alone with a handful of tears.

Then one day he raised his hands and to the divine force he asked,
“Didn’t I prove to you that I am faithful, honest, and loyal?
Not asking rewards like the devil once asked you,
But reward me with happiness on earth through her love.”.

That car drove a little more before turning back to where all began.

Blog Post About This Poem.

Wandered through the city lights I left no face unchecked,
Mind dragged on to see those eyes but the falling rain loved,
The unkissed cold cheeks of mine and the winds sang,
A melancholic tune repeated every season when alone I smirked.

I searched and searched until I can’t see anymore,
My ears listened and listened until I can’t hear anymore,
Heart yearned and yearned until I can breathe anymore,
Oh’, for me the ever-expanding universe has no room to expand.

I felt my eyebrows in my hand when the car started,
Where will I go empty-handed and empty-hearted,
What dreams I can weave in this rough and tough world,
Bring to me fate the unwritten chapter of my love story.

The lake passed by my eyes like an empty sheet waiting,
Upon which I must write the lines of verses about all I felt,
Never can I succumb to the suspicions of a transient world,
As in my mind’s eyes, I see the love-filled tears in her eyes.

The birth time noted, silent stayed stars and planets in zodiac,
The boy entered a stage of present where past never mattered,
Where future he weaved, day by day, year by year he grew,
Ah’, the spent past a well-built stage, burned down, unknowingly.

Far from him, unknowingly grew, like blooms of spring spread,
Life of sweetness, from far, slowly day by day, year by year he felt,
The presence of his soul in counterpoint to a point of existence,
Where one cannot exist without the other, Ah’, a historical inevitability.

As away from each other grew, Oh’, stages for them differed,
From styles of fashion, compassion, and at times. irrelevant comedy,
New stages with new lights, colors, and well-weaved drapes came,
A new scene in the present timeline written for them, well played.

Then came a time for both the timelines united upon the same stage,
Ah’, wonders sparked and love of each other united unknowingly,
Comedy, drama, villainy, deception, Oh’, life threw many daggers,
Some cut them deep, and at some, they ran without fear but in love.

Independent life, Ah’, the individual life of each other gnawed,
Through the passions and compassions and two lovers withdrawn,
To their own stages and the stage to hold them together burned,
The blinding flames grew high and wide in the frozen tundra.

In their victorious pride, they both stood with their head high,
The burned down stage, Oh’, they both cared not,
The connected love made them search for a better common stage,
Rains have fallen, hearts have melted all around them stood,

The stage of love, happiness, and a life filled with wonders,
A new set of comedies, drama, and pulses of life awaited,
Two souls sometime before the beginning of time united,
In love, born and brought up, miles apart, ages apart.

My love is a whisper unheard by the heart it meant to live,
Oh’, yet another season in sadness all around me stood,
My love is a pulse unfelt by nature where it sways,
Winds and trees, flowers and birds, Ah’, all stood still.

The villainy of the unseen dream, filled in shadows and walked,
All around me and made sounds only heard by strangers,
Who all whispered in their minds prayers to save from insanity,
Oh’, still I prayed for the love her, whom I loved even in insanity.

The cold clouded visions and sounds, Oh’, brutal times find,
Another path in another world, let me feel her love,
Let me feel her passions, let me silence her fears,
Let me be her happiness wiping away her last drop of sadness.

Interrupt not, Oh’, winter winds when with a loving dream I walk,
For my memories with her, little moments, giggles, and one-liners,
Oh’, they always recite wonderful tunes, little prayers for our souls,
To find a touch of love filled with peace, in this wild and wicked world.

Strange dreams found the light at the end of the tunnel,
Through my heart when about future days I thought,
Ah’, ten thousand thunders shattered at my feet and drowned,
As those dreams with scents of gunpowder around me flew.

Sweetness of sounds came from a bird to migrate forgot,
Maybe his attempt to find a melancholic tone failed,
In his never-ending waiting to find the heart for his love,
Or he is just a bird who ended in the wrong place and time.

Cold waves from the lake between toes danced,
Then where she sat I sat and smiled as winds from west blew,
Oh’, to gather a scent my freezing nostrils tried,
A feeling of gladness wind did bring and away I walked.

Somewhere through these paths she once or many times walked,
Weaving thoughts and breathing fresh air from lakeside,
Winter winds weaved a lullaby and to my soul sang,
Wordless, yet, I learned she loved me when she walked here last.

Blog Post About This Poem.

The skies have darkened far more than the lonely mind,
And through barks of the dried out trees fallen rain flown,
The owl hiding in the cloak of dark cried out loud,
Black ice failed to make the roads slippery for his walks.

Strange faces passed him by and strange they all remained,
Tantrums of minds, Ah’, how wonderfully hidden,
Behind fake smiles and unfelt greetings and away all walked,
A smirk of him to mother nature said “I don’t care”.

The up into the clouds he looked and darker they became,
A blessing prayer into his mind crept and echoed through veins,
Rain, again and again, struggled to stay as rain and no become snow,
The prayer he said out loud “There is no darkness created that can enter”,

“Enter into the light of our love”. Oh’, rain paused as a howling he heard,
Winter came and rain grew heavier, thoughts grew more heavier,
Street lights blurred as his eyes struggled hard to stay dry,
Love indeed became purer in unshed tears.

Winter forgot to bring all the might of cold and wind,
Dazed by the beauty of nature through the fall,
When life fell and in the thickening air life seems lost,
But, we know not how wonderfully winter preserve life,

Until we see the full bloom of spring when we forget,
The hands of winter without which life would’ve ceased.
And the poet wrote and again wrote with all his thoughts,
About the love every sense felt, he felt in the cooling air.

As through verses heaven on earth he described,
Oh’, clearer became the face of his love,
To everyone, those verses in depths touched,
Even in the deadly cold, the warmth of love they all felt.

Oh’, the veil the winter cold to every eye brought,
Tried hard to cover the concealed love of her,
Whose love by all readers through his verses experienced,
Ah’, they all rested from all the good deeds they did.

Questions he asked for which from her gestures answers found,
Wisdom all gained about how to love in new ways defined,
Such was the love the poet and his love gave to the world,
Still, the best of her love-filled smiles, hidden behind the mask of time.
