A Tribute To A Poet

With a burning heart, he kisses the moonlight lips good-bye,

Crossing the threshold of its still midnight light,

He makes an instrument of peaceful heartbeats,

Availing for midnight sailors to cross his deepest sea.

Down the night's path, his passionate soul is heartily designed,

In silence or whimpering cries, it is always there to shine,

Wine upon sea waves, he satisfies the thirsty with no cease,

An applause from heaven above will blend away his grief.

His inner voice of love is a traveling mercy,

In a field of quiet moments, he plants its daisies,

A mind of blue, a soul of gold, his infinite pen in lightposts will expose,

Such beauty of poetic verses, in the lonely heart they are blazed.

Redeeming legends in the voice of winds echo his name,

Whispers of moonlight pierce his fallen darkness away,

Memoirs of burning passion burst forth his diary,

An awakened life among the weary, his spirit joyfully ordains.

Falling in love with love is his creative visualization,

Mountains, meadows and moonbeams enchant his singing web,

Eternal echoes of his yesteryears, on tomorrow's pages will be shed,

Riding his wings of thoughts trigger our calendar with love, beauty and faith.
