The

Info

every day while i was weak

over many the things of my mind

i dozed suddenly , yet i felt a feel ,

but there was no gentle rappin' @ my chamber's door


" This is some visitor , " i thought , " but not tappin' @ my chamber's door "

only this & there was nothin' more

Ah i remember it was not probably December

& a time while i missed some 1 too dear

who was rare & a rainbow , & who was like an angel

& a name which is forgotten noe


suddenly the silken curtain moved

it thrilled & filled me with a fantastic terror which i knew not before

still now my heart beats & i remember repeatin' that

" This is some visitor tryin' to talk to me "

some late visitor , it is , tryin'  to talk more

this was it & nothin' more


my soul grew strong with hesitations

i said " hey " said i still , " madam i heard you " &

i opened the window & it was dark & nothin' else more

i looked deep into the darkness lookin' long i stood there

both with a doubtful wonder & fear

& i whispered my dear's name with a guess


& i heard just an ECHO murmuring back my dear's name


i head merely at this & nothin' else more

my soul at once was burnin'

& the wind was blowin'

and nothin' more


some 1 left a bowl & in it was a stately fish

it moved to see me & did nothin' more

this blue fish was smiling at my sadness

i asked it where it came from ?

the fish jus' looked @ me

i was marveled

yet i felt blessed seein' the fish

whose name i didn't know

but the fish swam lone & spoke

of no word , but his fins fluttered

i told " there were other friends here "

but still the fish looked at me as an angel and it kept mute

i was little comforted & my burdens were lost even more

but the fish looked @ me almost with a smile

i went near it

i looked at it lovely hue

& i fell in love with it

i was thinking of it & nothing else

& thinkin' of what its quiet gesture meant

i was in guesses on its quietness & of it expressin' no syllables

it also had such lovely eyes & it burnt my soul to the core

it calmed my mind too


the  air grew colder

" oh my " i said , " you are really an angel "

but it still was quiet

" a prophet are you ? " said i ,

yet i looked @ me lovingly silent

i asked if i will ever see me dear ever again

it still looked @ me with a lovely silence

" leave me " my inner voice said

still it looked @ me with lovingly & silently

stayin' still at my room

& its eyes lookin' @ me just as an angels


with the lamp lit above its shadow was on the floor

& so on the floor laid my soul too


knowin' i would not see my dear ever again
