Keepsake : A Triolet (Letters from the Soul #11)


The waves of time wash away every sign and name
The keepsake blooms in the messy room of the heart;
Rumi's poetry and ghazals in rain ignite the flame,
The waves of time wash away every sign and name
Memories are hazy; the telepathy remains the same. 
The way twin flames communicate is a mystic art
The waves of time wash away every sign and name
The keepsake blooms in the messy room of the heart.

Within a triolet, the 1st, 4th and 7th lines repeat and the 2nd and 8th lines repeat as well. The rhyme sequence of a triolet is: ABaAabAB (capital letters represent the repeated lines).
