Under the vault of azure,
grand sculptures
proudly bathed in brightness.

We tossed two coins
to your smiling waters,

in each others� comfort.

Today
I�m back here,
in pensive shades.

The Tritons appear morbid,
as I stand beside my loneliness.

Tell her, if she comes,
not to bring back
the desires and pain
for me

I shall return
over and over again,
to say these very words

till your streams
become silent.

Arun, your poetic growth is a pleasure to watch, my friend
the emotional journey of this piece is just fantastic
I loved how his perspective on the fountain changed, during his own journey of being in a relationship to being single......well done!

*hugs*
