THE PIERCING EYES

It’s not so easy, living without me,

In every step, mist would haunt you,

The life’s acrimony, the piercing eyes

Would enlarge the darkness,

Reluctantly you have to accept the

Dying affection, my heart is left

Over in the last ray of twilight,

Do not close the porthole, let allocate

It, in your shrinking space of emotion,

The divider line has created by

Someone or yourself, I don’t know,

But it’s apparent, knowingly too, you

Have no control to close the

Beams, which are flowing from your

Eyes, reflecting to my life, here

I’m waiting on the circle of flames,

The congeal feelings wouldn’t be

Prolong, I’m sure, the frost has to

Melt, spring is standing near

The Shoreline widening the arms,

The arctic sleep escaping from the

Sweet dream, you’re missing

The link as you desired, the smile

Says, you’re coming in close proximity

To the oceanic waves, in the

Moonlit night you look

More beautiful, so closer to my heart,
