#630 — Memories;

Ripples
Of your laughter,
Drift in the morning air —
Portrait on the wall, listen, you
Are here.
Chasing,
One the other,
You’re running on the floor
Portrait on the wall, listen, you
Are here.
Giggles,
Silent whispers
Your echo in the air —
Portrait on the wall, listen, you
Are here.
Because,
I can’t let go,
Memories in me flow,
Portrait on the wall, listen, you
Are here.

This poem is the first of my attempts to combine and present #cinquain poetry in a ghazal style (last line of each verse similar in all verses). I can only hope it is acceptable to fellow poets and appealing.
My wife lost her battle with cancer three years ago, on May 5th, 2014. She was only forty-two years old. She left behind two very young daughters and memories of her with me. I dedicate this poem to her memories.

#626 — Restlessness;

Enough
It is for you,
That he lives in your heart —
Say it then to his restless days,
And nights.

#restless

#386 — Desperate Heart;

Please God,
Be not silent,
While in my love for her,
I roam helpless wretched and I
grow old.

#364 – Cry;

Words are the echo,
of the cry of my silence —
my soul’s cry for you.

#313 – EPHEMERA;

Transient rain cloud,
just as it came in a haste,
it went away too.
What does it leave in me then,
but just longing and the pain.

#297 – Emptiness:

Alone, lost in your city,
faces unknown surround,
searching day and night.
Living life in this chasm,
my eyes too have dried,
no more tears they have.
Lost of reason for sanity,
In search of madness,
I keep searching.

#296 – Chasm:

Abandoned dew fall,
Unnoticed on empty earth,
lost there forever.
