Santosh Kumar Biswa - WHITE DOVE

White Dove
An Anthology of Love, Peace, Fidelity and Humanity by Santosh Kumar Biswa
To be Lone again
I saw you not,
but your beauty
in you to melt.
My heart, like a fire
that does to a taper
and to make light
during the darkness
of intimacy so hot
of passion deep in the spirit.
The passion dried
Like the pine trees
and the light to lose
Its strength to pose out.
The heart became cold
for beauty stood
not in the sprightliness,
but for beauty's sake
Like a bird to be wagered.
