Entry for PoAttic 6

I watch you everyday from the space,

That lies between your heart and mine,

In a passionate world do I dwell ,

While treading on love’s fiery lane,
                      ***

When the dark nights wrap me round,

Scary loneliness spreads it’s claws,

Your image haunts my lonely soul,

I dream of letters for me you scrawl .

                            ***

Every single word shines before me,

Drenched in your amorous glances,

Can decipher from each curve and slant,

Passions that lay in your tender heart.

                         ***

Your billet-doux  that you never wrote,

Those vows  of love you never made ,

 Like numerous stars in the ethereal space,

In  my mind’ s eye , Will forever flash.

                         ***

Each night I sit up and write you notes,

Answers for the letters you never wrote,

Then ask the zephyrs  to carry forth,

Fragrance of passion from silly heart.

                        ***

Like colourful autumn leaves that fall,

Twilight that sets landscapes on fire,

I will keep singing mellifluous lays,

Answering imaginary letters forever .
