 ...my eyes are tearful

My heart heavy with sorrow

My dreams are  unfulfilled ellussive

My own abandoned 

My heart depths of pain

Your  separation is  real

Desire of your presence 

your smiles and frowns 

Signs of love  show 

Dusk of life has come

Tired gone to sleep 

All poetic moments end

 ..blossoms    earn love attention to bloom

Some earn respect  attention  to survive

Lovingly  several  speak of their love for attention

Integrity is real love ,make it happen

Nobody listens what others care about 

Make them understand  

Engrossed always in the pleasures  

Give up  your world for others
