SHE EFFACED AN EFFULGENCE
With a chortle the benison of her benign touch, Seemed to affect me Loudly the cheerfulness invaded my heart As a dilettante I was exploring the possibility, Of the soulful journey of peace and spiritual amalgamation.
Jeering the unknown aspect of darkness,
She couldn't be conscientious to understand me.
The advent of her favorable presence in my life,
Augmented to a blind faith and devotion.
A realization to value that presence or care
Never really connected to the heartstrings
Over these years that we grew up together,
The fondness seeking to share the joys altogether.
Perhaps left a void in each other's understanding
To stand tall like a pyramid to guard the storms
Deliberate impulse to talk to her over the phone
Perhaps effaced an effulgence.
