My silent please The night was filled with fire flies With visions cloud and misty eyes. The moon hung low and half as bright. The stars were almost out of sight. The scent of jasmine mocked the air And haunts my mind with memories glare. This perfume with its lovers flaunt, Aroma of my spirits taunt. I stare into the heedless night, The fire flies and stars faint light. And swear at Cupid and his bow, That struck my heart so long ago. A thousand things twixt here and dare. A thousand cuts to clear the air. A thousand rules beyond declare A thousand doors with tigers there. My wishes yearn and gorge the breeze So loud, I hear the silent please. |

Seymour, This is a fine piece of work, really enjoyed it. Regards, Sudhir Take each day as it comes, Consider each day as a flight, Try hard to succeed and fly, Surely then you will reach some height. But if by some chance you don’t, Remember that tomorrow will always come. Learn this well and learn this hard That today’s efforts will pay for tomorrow’s fun. A Crazy Monster, a.k.a Ski |

Sy, this is excellent! In the night with jasmine's flair your heart this longing must declare and the gates so firmly closed open and breathe your sigh of love |

In between the silence ... hear the sighs this poem evokes with ease. **** Sy this is exquisite...truly... the imagery is of perfection, and the emotions are fragile and tender. and as always...I love when you write like this...  beautiful and breath taking *sigh* the reason poerty was created. take care, jm |

Sy, I've got to admit, you are outdoing me in the rhyme and meter arena As for the the way you put words together, no one can match it. This is THE BEST. An absolutely superb poem. You only get better with each piece you write (impossible!) Love ya LIz |

Nicely done Sy. I don't think you'll have to worry about flying unless of course you fall off the clouds If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name.

Seymour~ When we hear the 'silent' whispers ... we know another heart thinks of us. 'The scent of jasmine mocked the air And haunts my mind with memories glare. This perfume with its lovers flaunt, Aroma of my spirits taunt.' The night-blooming jasmine is sweetly wafting through your thoughts. I greatly enjoyed you sharing this with me. Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Oh Sey...I love the romantic longing that pours out of this...it's exquisite and sweet. And I had to chuckle when you swore at Cupid! That gave it a slight scent of agony! hehe And I just LOVE fire flies, so I was delighted that that's how it started! Heck, I just loved the whole poem, and the simple yet delicate rhyme you used is one of my favorite schemes! What more can I say!! Bravo sir!  |
