Poems

The Night of Absence

1) The pair, the two
The pair that are united as one
The infused amorous
With God’s distinctive bless
Communicating on a telepathic (line)
So they subscribe to principle
Within the cycle of days
The absent, the addressed
They appointed a day to meet
The absent, the addressed
As they failed to meet (the day)
That neither yah nor nay was said
Forever within the cycling of days
That horrid (day) remains the most recounted. 
 
2) My amorous and I as one
In (our) sweetest days in time
Oh just sauntering about (with joy)
The memory that lurks there (stayed)
That of the night of absence. 
 
3) That night of absence
The absence of that night itself
The tenets of love (in awe)
The bitterness in that day’s pain
On that in this rueful poem
I should let loose the tale (on you).   
 
4) It was a solo of one (night)
Within the week of days of seven
A one of that within
That we appointed where to meet
On an aimed evening known
 
5) As my afternoon siesta lasted long
In my afternoon dream
Perceived that she had arrival
At our rendezvous (stage). 
 
6) City and its sort so behave
Evening and my off to home
Lagging with my leisure walk
I went on about greeting each guri (household). 
 
7) Just about the late evening time
At the rendezvous stand
(Alas) she was not there (waiting)
(Oh) that night of absence
That absence of that night itself
The fate of that adored
The bitterness in that day’s pain
On that in this rueful poem
I should let loose the tale (on you).
 
8) That I have been hesitant
(Yet) went on to counted her trace among the many steps
To asked for the name
Was told that she was there.
 
9) That her presents at home
The place she magnified with light
Was not the same as past
(And now) looked pitch dark of night.
 
10) I stood up all (at once) brining myself onto the dinner table
With a vacant chair (for she was not there)
(The food) that would have the soothing taste
I just took a bite but abandon it all the same. 
 
11) Then I got on the path
To trace her footsteps among the many
That when I probe the manner deep
It did not show a sign of the known.
 
12)  (Later as I got home) the moon would keep me company
(unable to fall sleep)
The night was longer shining with light
The designed for gathering stand
Was longer where it used to be. 
 
13) The lugubrious loom of mourn
Where I just maundered on about
When more of her female friends
Began to tease at me
(Oh) that night of absence.
 
14) The supple matured twig
That worn leaves in glut
Festooned by nectars
I could no longer find that garden (of groom)
The night lasted long with me
So eager to anticipate
That lasted me a bit longer count
(So) I left with my rue of regret.
 
15) As I augur that imagine
She would not be thanking that she was told
The news that I had arrived
(Yet) was not there to wait but gone
Acrimonious of inquiries would arise
About the why I was not there (to wait)! 
 
16) That our affair of love
Wasn’t neither a disguise nor deceit
You the nucleus of amore,
On other that of which amazes
That I might have been absent (stood you up) on occasion
Yet sought refuge in that night itself (the one that you were not
there)
(Oh) what brought back that memory?
For the mind to ruminate
The third anniversary itself
To memorialize the first most
It is the same so much in my memory. 
 
17) That night of absence
If you were the absentee
I would have never sang the song
That for the mat of love.
 
18) That of the night of absence
If you were not the absentee
I would have not compose the poem
With such a literary might.
 
19) That of the night of absence
If you weren’t the absentee
I would haven’ composed in sage
So there I so thank you.
