Reminiscence



you said you would come
i waited for you so long,so long
but i knew you would never come
promises that are meant to be broken,and
burnt-how`s the tulips by your barn
does the daffodils and daisies curve,curl
dance!how`s your mom?how`s your love plateu
love altar,by the river of no-return?
do you still go to temple?your eyes so
serious,so simple
long,long,black hair
blowing carefree,blowing bare by the
whispering wind of the whispering lair
arti,can`t sleep
reminiscences of reveries,reflections of the
stolen romance-mingled-memories-kissed
render me a widower of dreams
defying sleepless-sleep
arti,why did you ever tiptoe all of your her
on me-i`ve become weightless by your teeth!
