Courtsey Poem by Sathya Narayana

Courtsey

Rating: 5.0


How long shall I impress?
With this expressive silence
I am not of the age to hide
Anything, anymore
Of this biting void
Nor you are a new-born
To treat my dumb dialect
As an unintelligible jargon
My love is still alive in spite of
This agonizing stand off
Like a glowing cinder
Burning in my heart’s kiln
Douse it with unkindly grouse
Or kindle it with a billet-doux
I am simply at your mercy
Waiting keen for your haughty courtesy

silence is deafening at times, and a lovers' quarrel, cold vibes can try any one's patience. i think everyone can identify with it. you are very good at romantic poems.loved it, got the male point of view.10 Mamta
