A tender and soulful reflection on love that lingers beyond distance and time.
This poem captures the quiet ache of remembrance — when a single thought of someone turns silence into melody, and dreams become the only bridge between two hearts.
# When You Come to My Mind #
When you come to my mind at night,
My silence turns to a soothing song.
The stars seem to pause in gentle flight,
And time lingers softly, slow and long.
When I cannot forget you from my heart,
I lose my peace — where do I start?
For every heartbeat speaks your name,
A tender ache I cannot tame.
I search for you in dreams unseen,
Where love still flows in silver sheen.
But if sleep forgets to close my eyes,
Where shall we meet, beneath what skies?
Perhaps in the hush before the dawn,
Where night and hope are gently drawn.
There, I’ll find you — pure and true,
And lose myself in thoughts of you.

What a profoundly beautiful and moving poem, Verma ji. You have woven silence, memory, and longing into a tapestry of such delicate emotion. The lines “My silence turns to a soothing song” and “A tender ache I cannot tame” are simply exquisite—they capture that bittersweet feeling of loving remembrance so perfectly.
This poem doesn’t just speak of love; it feels like love—quiet, persistent, and eternal. Thank you for sharing this piece of your soul. It resonates deeply and lingers long after the last word is read. Truly soul-stirring.

An enchanting poem, born from a sensitive soul, expressing longing, invisible bonds, and reunion, even if only in dreams and thoughts. Through this poem, you create a connection between distant souls, forming a sublime bridge that time cannot erase, nor can the successive journeys of the soul.🙂🙏🏻✨✍🏻📖🌌🧚🏻♀️
