This touching poem shows feelings of longing, love, and separation. It describes the wait of a person longing for reunion, even when obstacles arise.

Through images of fading lights, moonlit nights, and rainy days, the verses convey a heartfelt message—where love holds strong, and hope remains for a future meeting.

When the Paths Don’t Meet

The roads to our meeting no longer appear,
Yet your thoughts never leave me, my dear.
In every moment, a secret of you hides,
Why won’t you tell the tale my heart confides?

I will come to you, there is no doubt,
In your dreams, I’ll be wandering about.
Even if the world turns against my name,
Without you, life can never be the same.

Extinguish the lamps, let the light fade away,
Bid the moonlight a gentle goodbye today.
The bounds of my waiting have long been broken,
Now bless me with prayers, softly spoken.

Come to me in the arms of solitude’s night,
In these lonely rains where heartbeats take flight.
I can no longer trust my own heart’s call—
Let the moon rise, and the darkness fall.
