(b) 5 (Pain/Longing) Goodbye....And Let The Wind Blow. Poem by Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean

I longed to share, I longed to love
Wanted to keep you in my heart and above
But I couldnt bear to see it die
So darling, I must say goodbye

Should I forget you now, my dear
The happy and cruel times, moments so near
Extuingish the flame burning in my heart
My grieving soul to see us part

I need a cup lined with wine
For the once pleasing love that has burdened my mind
Why cant love just be consumed in my drink
For me to capture in forever, within

I asked, why do I bring m'self so much pain
My mind that had been left behind, answered with disdain
You are clear, you are right
You long to love, thats your plight
But you seek your love in obscure minds
Who cannot love, will not let their fears unwind
You seek a friend, not love and you will find
Love may dwell of a different kind
Let it warm, let it grow
Slow and steady, the wind will blow
In your direction, dont let it go
