The Promise of Spring

You breezed in my Life
whispering "Spring" and
promised me Daisies and Violets
little could I hear 
in my feathery slumber
a storm brewing "deceit"..

I was deaf to its thunder 
blind to its lightning
till it sweeped my dream away
my Daisies were choking 
and Violets weeping
bleeding on the bed of hail

As I gather my Daisies and
kiss my blue Violets
in the promise of Spring they heal
the storm has now passed and
clouds have cleared
I am ready for your whispers again...


Believe in Spring and the promise of Love it brings..
raj (sublime_ocean)..

nice, Raj

This is a wonderful poem, Raj.... it is so bittersweet, but of course I love the fact that in the end, he is ready again to love.... it is so hopeful. Thanks for sharing this, it feels straight out of your heart... and the imagery is very nice.

Winters in Ohio are brutal.

Winters in Ohio are brutal. Spring is welcomed. This past year some friends told me love will come again. It did. He's here. Raj, a poem for all seasons when the memories, the scents, the sounds, the touch of spring is yearning itself.

Dear Friend…I love spring.

Dear Friend... I love spring. Everything comes to life again but yes hail storms are not really far. So many time I have witness it & your poem was the perfect picture. I simply loved it Raj. It’s beautifully written or I can say it’s an art piece. You made me to glide back to beautiful spring with so many roses & daisies... Yes love is to be re-embraced & bask after any tempest...
