557. From my sunken eyes drip tears

SONNET 557

By JH Sayyar

From my sunken eyes drip tears
Dissolve into the earth like a star
Falling anon lost in hemispheres
My wishes are slain as in the war
O Lady, I wait and wait for you!!
Carrying tears in eyes all night!
Sometime I think your love true
Your love weakens my pen might
Losing all; came into conscious
In vain to lit a candle in day time
I do see you by eye mirror a cuss
I listen still to your breath chime

Alas! You die but live in my heart
If I die, you live in the rime-mart!
