Tears shed secret <br />Known lone to mind <br />Eyes dry prevent <br />Ready to lie; pretend to smile; <br />You fail to read the pains <br />In my feel; no fault yours <br />None my face reveals; <br />Come to tell me <br />You must leave <br />To bid farewell all for life; <br />Let me redeem console my mind <br />Sweeten my words to wish you bye <br />But inside, inside me I wish <br />To tell you these; <br />You, love! Please leave <br />And linger not in memories mine <br />Take away all those dreams unripe <br />Disowned I held in heart on lease <br />No place my own, <br />Now to store them sweet… <br /> <br />14 08 08<br /><br />Kesav Venkat Easwaran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-linger-not/
