The Silent Tones Of Mumbai Bay.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Started Last Night Till The Morning Dew,
just for you


I call this poem:
The Silent Tones of Mumbai Bay

PROLOGUE
As I watched the deep dark sky,
I clearly saw you heaven high
spirits true were with you
they have come with you, I know why

THE POEM
It's no full moon yet tonight, chérie
still the smallest curve, you see?

deep sea blue and emeralds green
you've been there and you've seen

but spirits true are with you
they have come with you, I know

that's all so true, the Trinity
a matter 'tween you and me

though miles away
echoing in Mumbai's Bay

what have I to tell you now?
it's absolutely all about love, WOW!
and passion, care and emotive things
you told me I must beware of all those ring-things

thankfully you have guided me
you know the megacity as the best
strolling along the boulevard of fame
of divided parts, Bollywood is its name

the big huge parts of rounded rocky stones
around the water, echoing the silent tones

I still remember the Queen's Golden necklace presence
as we watched those cute flickerings in her absence
no need to utter all greatest words
our minds had been perpetually updated,
they won't make our existence more complicated

I took a glance time and again
it's no full moon yet this night, my dear and then?
almost half round, a greater curve, you see?

EPILOGUE
Brushing upon my linen canvas
emeralds green with deep sea blue
ah, chérie, you've been here
see the footsteps in ochre yellow
only I can see that you're so near….


your Sylv
