• MOTHER

  • A treasure trove, for an ineffable mother,
    I love thee only, -thou art
    seraphic soul,
    Alas! The world has decimated thy themes now that frayed!

    Can I not look for some words quite impeccable and praiseworthy
    To make vivid thy tender and cherishing,
    Thy nature for thy children, thy luscious tonality in lulling them?

    Can I not, by some figures construe
    Thy decisive love I receive,
    The riveting elation, so like to wondrous beat?

    Can I not, by some similes, metaphors construe
    Thy life sacrificed, in the long run of tendering a family,
    Thy canvas so huge, Ah, all verses filled, can not express thy being.

    So let me cease my lines this way-
    Words can naught do,
    But blithely gladden thee.
