Savio D'Silva Poems

Walk in the Park

My heartthrobs for you, my beloved to be close,
to cherish you always, to see your loving pose,
You are a pretty girl, you are gentle and wise,
I'm at thy mercy, you cut me down to size,
You are a flower among greens with a lovely face,
when you come, you brighten up a shadowy place,
when you drizzle tears from your pearl like eyes,
you bring grief to my heart and it sighs,
when the wind brushes your swaying hair aside,
it reveals the smile on your lips and I died,

You are like the silence of the sea in winter,
but you roar like the wind blows in summer,
when you walk in my park you bless me with surprise,
when you walk home you make me sit and cry,
when you open your eyes and shower your light,
it seems so breezy like the cool air at night,
when you erupt into sudden laughter in front of me,
I'm in intense delight, I'm passionately in glee,
when you come close your soothing fragrance mounts,
you make me wish to havee you like my 'Girl to Mount',
you are sweeter than a rose when you stand still,
when you stroll you shake your short skirt's frills,
and to see you I walk to the park every free moment,
If I miss you for I'm late then I often repent,
but if I come and you don't come today,
I heave a heartfelt sigh and weep all day!
