POEM OF THE SEASON

​

As True As You

A voyage of life

        Everything dark and still…

A land of love

        I saw away from me…

Haste to go, haste to feel

        Touch of love, a sight and ease…

Near and near I found nothing

That was an oasis

 Dismayed the fantasies…

​

When I went a far away

        Something illuminating my way…

Is it the love my soul searching

Was thinking, admiring, swinging and striding…

 

With the hope and faith

With the colors to make

A home of love and peace

A beacon that shines for the riders of sea…

 

Alas! at few moments away

The light swindled and swayed

​

He must be someone who’d always be there

Unlike an oasis or a beacon, weak and despair…

 

He must be someone who’d stand

through the heaven and hell

Like a soul deep beneath

        Like a shadow of unbroken spell…

Like a vista visage of thousands dreams

Like a true mirage of glints and gleams

 

 

I returned from my voyage

        Hopeless and dissolate

With the feelings to never gain and achieve

Feelings of love and feelings of peace…

 

Crying on the sand

        Suddenly came a shadow

That touched and held my hands…

 

I did not open my eyes

        That were flooded with cries…

 

But the heart knocked the beat

And the bones struck the heat

My nerves stood dancing

My cheeks arose chanting…

 

I opened my eyes…

Neither an oasis nor a beacon

a smile of kindness and the eyes of love

 

I though as many times as I could do….

I found, there is no one as true as you…

       

As true as you…
