Beauty: You and your gifts

Image Source

Beauty was a mystifying term
Until you walked into my life;
Amidst the arena of mist and fog
I saw a canopy of ambrosial sunshine.

My soul recognized you
Your soul recognized mine;
Amidst the soft rustle of leaves
The murmuring sigh of moon.

Beauty were the souvenirs
That you wrapped me up with;
In the limited days
When you were by my side.

Friend! Separation won't make me grieve
As long as your gifts are with me;
Delectable memories, occult wisdom
And profound conversations that changed me.
Linking this poem to Poets United Midweek Motif ~ Beauty

    Ah, the gifts stay even if a person is no longer near. Conversations & learnings can (and often do) stay with a person for a long time. That is indeed a BEAUTIFUL thing!

    I love that the souls recognized one another. In such connections, distance does not change the union of hearts and minds.

    Having faced betrayal in my life at some point of time I so relate to this! It touched my heart to the core and I can sense the changes that I have gone through that phase which have made me a stronger person today. :') So beautifully weaved dear, your magical words mesmerizes me always <3 God bless!

    Beautiful poem, Purba. It reminds me of the song, "Tum aaye to aaya mujhe yaad gali me aaj chand nikla," from the movie, Zakhm. I'd love to hear this song in your voice on soundcloud, if possible. :)

    Those conversations we have with others often reveal the truth, and lasting qualities of that person and you know in your heart that they are genuine and true. A beautiful piece of writing Purba.
