The Voyage

POEMS

Not soothing anymore...

has gone now, its finest reticence...

has gone now, its impeccable glow...

mercilessly rushing down the lane...

leaving nothing but unbearable agony!

'let our souls unify!' rushed the

river!

leaving behind its most delicate

grains...

straying in its valley of wilderness...

forgetting its solemn oath...

the tale of a heroic journey?

'the destiny' exclaimed the river!

No more delicate grains...

No more triumphing waters...

plain! now the river rests...

calling out its heroic journey!

lying, lying, and lying!
