The poet's breath.....

when oft he ran away
his dreams at hand,
time slipping away,
painful grains of sand.

within her, his laughter was
without, his sadness.

of a lifeless blank
when he drew
one lov'd
in farther heavens he knew.

in the spring wind he held his heart.
a drop of dew, and those petals few..
and lay down.. looking at the early stars

beautiful but few...

a rose on grass it lay so still
until she came and held it close..

when it bloomed and touched her lip.

he'd been loved
and he slowly knew.......



[ if that didnt make any sense.. some imagination of my own should help]

walking along this long lonely loveless path of life, i had long watched the grains empty into the lower half of the hourglass. i knew my time had come and it might have been close.
walking amidst the thick and thin , the shadows and light of blistering days and bone cracklingly cold days . i came across a vast valley whose mounds ran even like a waves on a calm lake frozen in time. amidst the tallest i went to survey whitherto i had come.
a strange feeling of familiarity swept over me. I saw the red sun kiss his maiden earth in the dawn of a new day. the scene brought to me the bitter sweet partings of lovers. as the last few grains of sand slid away down the hourglass.

i knew.

i knew i had one more breath. giving it all my life, i picked up a dew drop in a few scattered petals and clutched them close to my heart. and laid down on the grass and let go.

as another warrior treads this enchanted eden , she sees a glint on the tallest mound. seeing there a rose lying so still, in its heart clutching a lonesome dew drop.
raising it to her cheek the dew drop shiver s and sears her cheek, strangely as a tear would.
the petals kiss her gently as a breeze warm & strange envelopes her for one last time and flies away.

just as someone was waiting to exhale.............]
