(1) Afterthoughts

  Words will no longer come from you to me,
Handwritten from a land of minarets.
The imagery still lights my afterthoughts,
I wish you a long sunset, poet friend.

How strange the loss of letters matters when
We never met in ordinary life.
And yet, 'As always' is my signature.
I hope warmth travels safely without stamps.

My eyes look through the old panes of the soul,
Remembering work of threadbare elegance.
Perhaps such verses will survive your west,
Invoking dawn against a distant glass.

I have read this for a second time, No doubt I shall read it again.

‘As always’ you are tall in warmth and elegance
You sing sweet songs from a distant shore
Handwritten notes might fly away in the wind
Soul’s dialogues are imperishable imprints.

Each passing phase of the sun and the moon
Remind of the changing faces of the beauty,
Old panes of the soul never get blurred,
On them reflects the undying eternity.

As always, your signature’s lingering scent
Our souls will ever exchange in trance,
We will from its sweet fragrance know
Of the Spring bower your music flow.

Your and my thoughts will entwine,
As echo of the gong sound divine.

Warm regards,
CP

The introduction of somebody has been made evident
through words so expressively that one feels the bondage
at mental level even without a meeting. The title expresses
one of the very true natures of mankind since the humanoid
age that there is no end to thoughts even after the work has
been done..........

An ode of 'threadbare elegance' in itself. A wonderfully written tribute to a poet muse x

Words will no longer come from but afterthoughts will linger on.............10/10.
