Nothing is new under the Sun
Pleasure swifts and pain lasts
Love blossoms for sometime
In the transient garden of heart
Until the drought of tragedy
Eradicates the seed of love
Until the tides of the ocean
Rinses its mark from the sand
For love is build above the sand
And not build above the rock
My love! Even if we love much
One-day we would part from Earth
The concluding bell of life tolls
Deeper than the sound of silence
Beyond this life, into the gates of death
For our love is ripe and now it must decay

Excellant and deeply profound Bhuwan. Your poetry is always so inspiring no matter what the subject matter, and I enjoy every piece I get the chance to read!

Such a deep and beautiful sentiment, so much wisdom behind the words, VERY WELL DONE, Bhuwan! This is not a "romatically popular" way to present your thoughts, especially to the "hearts and flowers" traditinalists,but, you know, sometimes the road less traveled is the ONLY road that makes sense for some ideas... Love this bit:
"The concluding bell of life tolls
Deeper than the sound of silence
Beyond this life, into the gates of death
For our love is ripe and now it must decay"
A homonymless man writes shows what it's like to look up the laid he skirts when you’re lying prone(d) to the sidewalk, beer / joint / needle dangling from your hand /lips / arm.
'Better Without You'is a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of an affair, hidden secrets, and abuse. It also highlights a daughter's heartfelt journey as she cares for her mother who is battling dementia.
